UFC 124 happened over the weekend, and Geogres St-Pierre made another convincing argument for him to be considered the strongest pound-for-pound fighter in mixed martial arts. GSP spent 25 minutes demolishing Josh Kostcheck (pictured) on his way to a unanimous decision in the main event of MMA’s biggest promotion.
Georges St. Pierre kept most of the fight up top and put on a striking clinic. GSP peppered Koscheck with jabs, strikes, knees, and kicks for about four of the five rounds. Koscheck got a brief takedown in Round 1, but the two didn’t go back to the ground until Round 4. GSP’s training with famed boxing trainer Freddie Roach obviously paid dividends because he was more fast, elusive, and accurate than in any of his past fights.
And now we can listen to everyone refer to GSP as the San Antonio Spurs of the MMA. That is to say, the guy wins, but he’s boring. Most people are hoping that St-Pierre will put on weight and fight UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva, and really, if dude has a chance to get fat for work, he should jump on it. Look how well it worked out for Russell Crowe.

We all agree that MMA is white trash, right?
I like some of the fighters, but anything that’s not UFC just feels a little icky. I know how that sounds, but that’s just how I feel.
GSP has not just cleaned out the division, he’s done so in a manner that leaves no doubt that there’s no one in his league. If you get KO’d in the 1st RD, you can chalk it up as a fluke. If you get dominated for 5 rds by GSP you walk out of that cage a broken man. What GSP does is far worse than “finishing” fighters in the cage. He’s taking away any hope or dream they may have that one day they might beat him. Kos, Penn, Hughes, Fitch, Alvez, all walk around knowing that they’ll never, ever be better than Number 2 in that division.
What’s the deal? Why did you only give him half of the moutheyes treatment?
I take exception to your appraisal of GSP’s entertainment potential: seeing Koscheck get jabbed in the eye over and over and over and over again is the complete opposite of boring.
“That is to say, the guy wins, but he’s boring.”
Whoa whoa whoa. That fight was far from boring. Some of his fights have been boring, but, all fighters have stinkers once in a while. Props for Koscheck for having a strong jaw. There were a few times a guy with a weaker jaw would have gone done.
*down
^^ wrong & wronger
This is the problem with GSP & Silva… boring as shit & scared to take more than minimum risk. So they easily handle guys & pound on them for 5 rounds looking none the worse for wear when done… how about, gee I dunno… actually getting amped up & finishing someone sometime? I get really tired of wasting $50 on pay-per-views to watch “champions” do little more than workout.
He’s french at worst, but he ain’t boring.
CA-NA-DA! CA-NA-DA!
his eye looks like a vagina! what a pussy.
