I was watching that GSP fight last night, and I was actually saying to my self. "FINISH HIM" as GSP was hyper extending dan hardy.
I was surprised his arm didn't break in half. Despite the fact that Hardy got bent over, he gained my respect for not tapping out despite the fact that he won't be able to use either arm for the next month.
LMAO!
I was thinking the same thing!
I was wondering why GSP didn't finish the job and rip his rotator cuff.
I told the guys I was with that I really think he let off at that point. I think GSP is a great guy, and deep down he wasn't trying to hurt Hardy. He wants to win at all costs, but he doesn't want to ruin a guy's career. IMO- it felt like he realized Hardy wasn't going to tap, and so he just wanted to keep things on the ground and take it to the bell.
Just my opinion. Everyone was saying no way, no fighter would ever let off, but I think GSP knew he had the fight in the bag, and just didn't want to ruin his shoulder. Hardy is a tough son of a bitch to take it like that, I think everyone who saw the fight has mad respect after that.
Oh, and it was kinda nice to see Mir get his ass kicked.
