I think the bet was specifically that GSP would be able to put him on his ass at least once every round, which I didn't think would happen.

The problem with shit talking is I still think GSP will control the fight and win. I just wasn't sure Diaz would be on his ass every round.

So uhh, yeah Diaz will totally stay standing for at least one round!

Did Diaz even answer one question correctly in the whole thing? He kept ranting on about god knows what the whole time!

I liked when he asked "why are you mad, bro?". Diaz the troll

Tuco trashtalking will never stop being awesome.

You're pissing in the wind bro, the wind created by the hot air of your faulty gameplan predictions!
That was actually for a Diaz fight as well. Suddenly I want to say that Diaz will beat GSP's ass on the feet...

holy shit this presser is hilarious. Nerdy super athlete who is susceptible to getting his jimmies rustled vs pothead super athlete who needs medication to be functional but can't because of the athletic commission.

Would be slightly hilarious if he wins, tests positive for weed again, and then promptly gets cut from the UFC. I mean he did admit in the interview that he is still smoking...so yeah.

Originally I thought he was saying that the UFC is painting him as a wolf and GSP as the shepherd in order to sell tickets, but apparently 'wolf tickets' is an African and African American slang for 'talking shit in a way that avoids a fight', which really doesn't make sense.

It's from a book written in the 60's about how inner city youths are starting to speak like idiots.

Wikipedia_sl said:
Wolf ticket (or woof ticket) is an African-American slang term meaning a verbal threat, criticism, or insult used to intimidate an opponent. The term originates from woofing, meaning aimless talk, an onomatopoeic reference to the sound of dogs barking. The term is usually used as a part of the phrase "to sell wolf tickets", meaning to bluff or threaten someone in a boastful way, or "to buy wolf tickets", meaning to call the bluff or accept the implied challenge.

Professor Emeritus Herbert L. Foster noted in the first edition of his book Ribbin', Jivin', and Playin' the Dozens: The Unrecognized Dilemma of Inner City Schools that his students, in New York City Public School 613, about 1964, started using the expression "woof" or "wolf" ticket interchangeably. Since he was teaching graphic arts, his students, at first, printed wolf tickets. As Foster became more astute about his students' street culture, he created the woof ticket that was used on the street and discussed further in his book. Recently, popular MMA and UFC fighter Nick Diaz brought this term to light at a UFC press conference. At said conference Diaz repeatedly used the term in retaliation to his opponent Georges St-Pierre and media.

well it's a bastardization of an onomatopoeia. Woof, or barking, bucking whatever. So now they are calling it a wolf ticket. ROFL also George looks seriously fucking freaked out.

It's always weird when people have to deal with Nick in those situations. It's them trying to hype a fight while dealing with a guy who is legitimately mentally disturbed a little bit. Not like, serial killer(probably) disturbed, but socially awkward as fuck and mentally off center.

I think a lot of it is a language barrier. To a native english speaker it's obvious that Nick has serious issues that dampen the impact of whatever he says. GSP probably literally can not understand what Nick is saying. The only real legitimate complaint I see him bring against GSP that GSP should take personally is the idea that GSP is more of a MMA athlete than a martial artist. GSP has the mentality of a pure martial artist but because he has very little power and natural submission skill while having world class MMA wrestling the result is 50-45 decisions. That has to be very frustrating for him.

There is a fine line between winning, and performing, if that makes any sense (which it probably doesnt). Basically, what Im saying is, GSP might win, but he isnt putting on the kind of performances the fans want. Its cool that the Jackson camp is all about excellence and victory, but at some point fighters like GSP must realize that this sport is as much about the fan and how well received you are, as it is about winning.

If you are exciting and are knocking people out, or just putting yourself in danger in order to create a fun match, chances are you wont get cut when you are mired in a losing streak. (Dan Hardy, Pat Barry etc). So giving the fans what they want is a huge part of being a successful UFC fighter. Honestly, other than Canada, I dont see or hear about many GSP fans. He is obviously respected, but people arent clamoring for him or waiting to buy his fights.

I can understand people wanting to see GSP finish more fights. It's been a while since he actually has. However, he is dominating his opponents and showing why he's the champ. So I don't mind seeing GSP in 5 round fights. I'd rather see him get more submissions or knockouts but picking people apart the way he does is just as entertaining to watch for me as two guys trying to knock each other out. It's all preference I suppose.

Not all of his decisions have been a snooze fest. His beatdown of Fitch was entertaining at least. However, the vast majority lately have been pretty boring.
