I left the bar in the middle of the main event. GSP is def. the most boring champ in the history of the UFC. Probably the most boring mainstream fighter in MMA to be honest. I just cant sit through his yawn fests.
He's good as fuck, no doubt. But exciting? Fun to watch? Un predictable? No.

Disappointing but not unexpected. I bet the UFC brass is pissed that they set up a primetime show, countdown show and sold out an entire 55,000 seat stadium for this main event.
GSP was boring, but Shields was no better, fucking guy was trying to K-1 his way to victory, he didn't press the action at all. It was the worst possible scenario, since GSP doesn't have KO power and is too "win" orientated and Shields is practically the worst striker in the UFC WW division.
Thank god for Machida & Steven Seagal for the wicked front kick on the old man.
Aldo VS Hominick was a decent scrap, dude's head inflated like a melon and still went on to win the last round. Aldo looked like shit though, looks like the weight cut hurt him bad.

another boring GSP fight.
Agreed.
GSP fights are boring-as-fuck. He's a no passion having fighter. What makes it worse is his dumbass opponents that won't engage and press the fight. Which makes it even more boring. Then GSP always says the same shit afterwards. ''I'm sorry.'' ''Looking for the finish.'' Like what-the-fuck ever. I don't even want to watch the replay of UFC 129.
Don't get me started on Shields. He's was the worst opponent for GSP thus far. Also, notice Koscheck and Shields had similarities of standing and punching air for the most part. Fucking stupid.
Hominick showed great heart. Props.
Machida KO'd the old man. Steven Seagal w/ his fatass got props for the kick - LOL.
The Janitor easy KO paycheck.
Smooth Ben grinded out a good debut.
Rory MacDonald looked great against Nate Diaz.
Ellenberger killed Pierson.
Prelims on FB had some very good fights.
Overall thoughts on UFC 129: When will I learn when GSP is on the card... it's gonna suck.
Was there. Good card from beginning to end IMO. Also, GSP is never a "high intensity" fighter. I didn't think there would be a knockout or submission, but he knows how to retain the belt.
GSP was boring. I agree... BUT... it wasn't his job to be the aggressor here. Shields was too timid! He was the one coming to get the belt for god's sake. GSP just did enough to retain it. Why would he take risks? I think he did the right thing.
Why can't we see GSP fight someone decent? Like SILVA.
