I don't doubt that GSP was extremely ill, and he is definitely the best welterweight in the history of the UFC, but I don't think he is above criticism. I'm a big GSP fan myself, but everyone knew he wasn't going to compete at middleweight, and with the MW champ at the time being the the easiest fight out of the top MWs and WWs, he capitalized on a chance be one of the few multi division champions. I don't think it was dishonorable or anything like that, but I'm not biased enough to him on a pedestal as if he is above taking the easy road to make history. If the weight gain was that hard on his body, he should have fought Tyron. I'm beginning to wonder if he didn't plan on this being his last fight. He's still a legend, just not a god.
