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.ameraves bro it's time for prefight shit talk. Whatever bet we made I made the correct choice.
fuck that's not as good as a bet as I remembered... none the less your day of reckoning is at hand.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.
That was actually for a Diaz fight as well. Suddenly I want to say that Diaz will beat GSP's ass on the feet...You're pissing in the wind bro, the wind created by the hot air of your faulty gameplan predictions!
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.Yeah, I was going to link that and make sure everyone watched it. That was 30 minutes of absolute hilarity.
Maybe I am retarded, but what the fuck was the wolf tickets shit he was talking about?
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.
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.FoH MMA Thread: Come for the gifs, stay for the Etymology.
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.
