re: UFC 167 - GSP vs. Bigg Rigg for the Welterweight Championship (11/16)

"Did you see Georges get smashed and hurt in the first round? It's about damage. This is a fight. It's about whoever inflicts the most damage. He got hurt, he got wobbled, he got dropped. I'm blown away that Georges St-Pierre won that fight.

I'm a promoter. He's the biggest pay-per-view on the planet for me and I still don't think he won that fight. I want what's fair, and that wasn't fair.

I think the Nevada State Athletic Commission is atrocious. I think the governor needs to step in immediately before these guys destroy this sport like they did boxing."

Then stop holding events in Nevada.

Second, IMO if GSP is going to "Step away for a year or 2" like im hearing and isn't willing to give Hendricks a rematch he should be stripped of the title, and Hendricks should be fighting Lawler for the vacant title. Or have Lawler fight winner of Condit/Brown for the vacant title and make Hendricks beat Shields or Lombard. Regardless I have a feeling this isn't just one of those I need to take some time to rest like say Bones who was right back in there, by GSP's demeanor and Helwani's tweet that GSP is thinking of taking a year or 2 off, he shouldn't be allowed to handcuff this division. Making him earn his title again if he needs to step away from MMA.
