BJ's excuse is that GSP was greasing his back so he was unable to control him with his ground game. I think that's just another BS BJ excuse, but I've gotten use to him over the years of watching. He is like that with BJJ competitions. I don't that he lost cause he was out of shape or anything like that, he just isn't strong enough to control someone like GSP. When a guy is out weighing you by 20-30lbs on fight night and you have to put on weight to get to that weight class, unless you got some crazy, mad skillz, you're going down.
I do find it funny that people are trying to compare the drama to wwe. Are you kidding me!? During the post interviews they talk some smack about each others skills and predict how the fight is going to go. Even at the press conferences there is no yelling or shit talking. Boxing, on the other hand, is another story. Where ever the two boxers meet up they're in each others faces, bumping chests, and even throwing punches and biting each other. MMA is so mild compared to wwe and boxing for fight drama.
