@@lennyjenkins9931 GSP has greater technical prowess than Jon Jones, he has better technique and executes it better. But Jon Jones is more creative and dominating, the work he does with a huge arsenal of unorthodox ane orthodox techniques and his wrestling is outstanding. He shrugged of Daniel Cormier's takedowns and even took him down more than once. GSP for example has almost perfect jab and roundhouse, and his game plan would be to pick his opponent apart by utilizing those very effectively. Jones on the other hand, would throw 4 different kicks, fake a takedown and then throw a spinning elbow. Jones is not a master of technique, he is a master of using a variety of techniques, and mixing them up and using them very effectively. Another thing Jones does better is defense, using his long, reach impeccable fighting system and iq to stop opponents from exploiting his weaknesses. GSP got finished 2 times, because GSP has weaknesses as everyone else does, but he wasn't able to protect those weaknesses. Jones is more adaptable, creative and his resume is better. Youngest champ ever, won first seven fights in like 6 months, beaten cyril gane in 2 minutes, no true losses.

Not every woman has a man in their life to help and teach them to defend themself or to protect then whenever they are living their life.... what does he expect? Woman to find men who train?

Produced legends? Who besides gsp and gsp n also gsp? Gsp was at Jackson wink too. Rory was overrated. Firas has been dubbed the Canadian edmond. Tristar is a 1 hit wonder gym.. it has been irrelevant for years

@azadog1233 like who. .500 lightweight nate diaz? Featherweight BJ? Journeyman pyle? Some guy named like jake cheeseberger or somethin? Who’s the alleged elite talent that rory beat & don't mention anybody that's fought at lightweight or below cause weight bully wins are not elite wins. Bj was already on his jobber losing streak at the time anyway so it’s not an impressive win even if BJ wasnt a blown up featherweight. BJ was a can by then

@@pstrizle9000 You only have to produce one greatest of all time to become a legend. Same thing could be said of John Danaher, but John is still a legend. You wouldn't call Gary Tonon or Pacito multi hit streaks either. What makes people legend is not solely based on the quantity, but the quality. Ever heard of quality before quantity?

2:55 Ah, that explains the bias. He's trained one athlete into a champion, that's it. Whittaker got better after leaving. I think these ego episodes are a shame. He's hella good, fantastic, in fact, but this... this is just a weird worship.

What funny is that the commentator says that "he is a devot husband" and "out of respect for his wife" he doesn't roll with women which is utterly nonsense. Firas is a devot Muslim like Khabib, Islam and Khamzat, he doesn't roll with women because he follows the word of his Lord Allah and the teaching of the Prophet peace be upon him. Why beating around the bush!?

Can you control your mind? All of the time. I can't. I'm like the driver of the kindergarten bus. I pretty much let my mind do its own thing until it does something I consider nasty or dangerous. Usually I can just yell over my shoulder "Settle down back there!". Sometimes I have to sub conciously pull over and redirect things. If I was face deep in the triangle choke of a fit healthy woman I'd probably have to pull over and give my mind a serious taking to.
