Mike Winklejohn: The Way To Beat GSP Is To Hurt Him, We Have Something Coming For The TD Attempts

Quote :

“Georges is the best in the world at what he does, but at the same time, we know what he does. He does that, and hardly anybody’s been able really to stop it, but with that being said, Carlos has got something for him. Every time he wants to shoot in, we want to not give him the proper distance. We want to not be there when he does shoot, but when he does, we want to have something there for him.”

“He definitely followed my gameplan for Nick Diaz to a T, but with that being said, it’s different with Georges. Nick comes back from the dead. I think Carlos can unload on Georges and do damage early, and that will pay benefits as we go on … . You will see a different fight that way. The way to fight Georges is not to back away and touch him because he’s going to eventually take you down and ride out a decision that way and he could finish you. Georges is great in many different positions, but the way to beat Georges is to hurt him. That’s what this fight is going to come down to: Carlos can strike from so many places. He can hurt you in so many ways. What people have forgotten is that early in Carlos’ career, he was tapping people out left and right. Carlos is great with his submissions and working on them daily. He wants to time Carlos’ footwork to come forward and shoot on Carlos. There’s no doubt about it. He’s got to close the gap. Carlos is longer — we know that, so that’s what we’re looking for. Things are going to happen when one of the two guys close the gap.”

I hope he's right.
As god-awful as it was to watch Condit prance around the cage like a riverdancer in the Diaz fight, nothing would make me happier than seeing him put an end to GSP's Reign of Boredom.

i hope gsp makes him menstruate right there

Blah blah blah...How many people have said "when he shoots I will knee him in the head" and it doesn happen. Dont get me wrong I hope Condit has something for him, but im hoping they are working on more than hurting gsp as he shoots haha.

Yeah, I think that has been the gameplan against GSP for every single fighter since he regained the title.
How's that working out for everybody so far? lol

Every fighter just about knows what GSP is going to do. Half the time it will be taking you down. Every fighter knows it and see's it coming even but you still cant stop him and i think condit will be in the same position.

So is Jackson cornering GSP for this fight and Winklejohn cornering Condit since there in the same camp? And yeah I think GSP will take him down and try to GNP him.

No I think Greg Jackson is sitting on the sidelines for this one. Winklejohn will be cornering Carlos and I think GSP's Tri-Star coaches will be in his corner.

GSP left jackson's camp over a year ago.

He still trains there "occasionally" from what I have read. He mainly uses Greg Jackson as his "strategist" and Tri-star are his trainers and coaches. With the, once in a blue moon session in NM with Jackson's.

But Jackson has said he won't be training or cornering against GSP. I mean you wouldn't want to bite the hand that feeds you.
