      @@CoolPandaTheMovieNerd No one is perfect, people have their opinions on him, but as far as MMA fighters go, GSP is about as close to perfect. If you want to hate on him for something as silly as "greasing" and that's all you have to stand on, then you do you brother, you're entitled to your opinion. I'm sure whoever you consider the best has something that tarnished their reputation at one point or another. I've met GSP and chatted with him before at a wrestling competition in Canada, you would never know the guy was a world champ. He was there to learn wrestling techniques and was looking for younger wrestlers to teach him. He made the young guys feel incredible because they were teaching him. So I'm sticking to my opinion lol
