    Man, I can't wait for this fight, but honestly I doubt GSP can stop Josh. This is gonna end up going all the way. GSP is winning via unanimous decision, a dominant one, but not a stoppage.

    Nice, but I meant what I said :p I'll try and explain, I said GSP can't "stop" Josh, as in he can't KO/TKO/Submit him. But he will win, by unanimous decision.

    Oh, I see what you mean.

    GSP hasn't finished someone for a very long time. His game plan is something like this.

    1) Take down
    2) Lay on opponent
    3 ????????
    4) Profit

    Yeah that Joe fight finish was even softer looking than the Forest Griffin vs Anderson Silva finish, lol. Barely tapped em on the chin.

    no. Jake shields is garbage he barely won his last fight and he was so gassed after fighting too. He has a while to go to get a title shot.

    EDIT: Seems he's already been given the title shot...

    lame. He wont last the 5 rounds.

    It isn't hard to last 5 rounds with GSP. You're not getting knocked out or submitted. Its just a test of your own endurance. He isn't determined to finish anyone.

    That's what I'm saying he barely lasted 3 rounds with Kampmann, theres no way he will last 5 with GSP
