Pretty much this. He just wants a little time to relax after the extended rehab and training.

please, dude fought shields april last year then 8 months later we found out of his mysterious knee injury..11 months later he beats condit then asks for another sabbatical to think things through before accepting a fight with silva.Its obvious dude is trying to run out the clock and let father time force silva into retirement..anyway u slice it what hes doing doesnt really fit in line with the rhetoric he spews at pressers
I'mhere breh because you're actually serious with that comment.
u can laugh all u want but one doesn't have an injury like that and display the same explosiveness in a mere 11 months of rehab[/QUOTE]
dont lump me in with your circle of friends (with that train of thought) I am too grown for that.My gripe with condit is he is who I thought he was.Everyone assumed because he trains with greg jax that hed have an inside track & I always said look at the ellenberger/mcdonald fights & what they did with a fraction of what gsp has perfected.I'm not saying that you have to be a fan of Condit's, but how the fukk is he faq? Dude is humble, laid back, an excellent finisher and fighter. Can't see how you can really hate him
You're prolly a distraught Diaz fan though
Its not rocket science, dana knew it, gsp knew it and condit knew it which is why he opted to sit on the sidelines and wait for gsp for a damn near year like a yellah bytch despite becoming the interim champ way back in feburary..The whole exercise was a big waste of time as predicted and to see condit get blooded and dressed down felt good.Dude was really feeling his hype the last couple of fights hopefully now he goes the way of fitch into an island of insignificance
You are talking about the the most decorated/accomplished ufc luminary who has competed in 3 different weight classes, he doesnt "have" to face a young lion who is on the come up in jones to prove anything. Ppl *coughs* whites *coughs* just want it so one of the fighters legacies get derailed.We know what andersons weakness is and what georges strength is so that is another interesting aspect..If the silva/gsp fight never happens anderson will still be the best ufc fighter ever.Gsp on the other hasnt proved anything but the fact he can finish bloated lws.If this superfight doesnt come to past he will always be remembered as a yellow belly..
Silva trying to get them big paydays before he hangs em up. He wants GSP then Jones. Silva vs Jones is the bigger fight and will be after Silva beats GSP. There is a chance he could lose to Jones, then that payday against GSP is gone. The only hang up in his plan is GSP and GSP knows that. If he aint gonna fight Silva Im ok with that but stop beating around the bush and just say NO.

This is how I took it.
Do I think GSP is super excited to fight Silva? No. Do I think he'll take the fight? I do. He's a company man and if Dana throws him the cash I think he'll do the fight.
I'd like to know what the Coli thinks about a Hendricks/GSP fight. We all know Hendricks has the power to KO GSP, and ON PAPER he looks like he can maybe defend the takedowns, but GSP has taken down a LOT of wrestlers that were better than him on paper or credentials-wise.
I do think Silva finishes GSP with strikes if they fight.
Hendricks has the power to KO GSP for sure, but he doesn't have the striking skill to keep GSP guessing. BJ is really the only person to make him look bad on the feet and stuff his takedowns and that was years ago. Also Hendricks throws all his weight into his punches which has left him open for the takedown to lesser wrestlers in the past.
