Azurdog has a photo of GSP landing a clean shot on b.j...lol

but gsp was getting fucked up on the feet pretty bad and that's why he took it to the ground...

and i do think gsp has good footwork, but like palma said his defense isn't the greatest...he should have kept his range better when he fought b.j. and used a shit-ton of jabs and leg kicks...

Lol, you call that a clean shot? It's grazing the side of his head while he is landing a shot on GSP's nose...

it looks like a clean shot to me, or at least more than a graze...

it doesn't really look like b.j. is throwing a punch...if he is then it's a shitty punch, he has his head down and eyes partially closed lol

GSP IS THE BEST STRIKER IN THE WORLD...not really, b.j. is better standing up, i'll give you that

GSP's striking is fine, it's just not as good as Silva's or B.J.'s, but they are two of the best in the world so no big deal. GSP's strength is mixing strikes with takedowns, and striking you on the ground i.e. MMA striking. I don't think GSP's striking is overated, we all know about where it's at, pretty good at WW, but not quite elite. Though he did knock out Jay Hieron, who is a pretty good striker.

GSP's striking is good enough to beat Fitch at least, that Wilson guy was making Fitch look slow on his feet.
