I find it is most often striking-loving fans (nothing wrong with that). I get why people dont fall in love with wrestling both from a fan's view and a martial artist's view.

People who prefer the striking aspect and train mostly in that aspect will never fully appreciate a wreslting based legend and I get that, they pretend to repsect all of MMA when they really don't like the wrestling aspect all that much. They will pretend to "respect" GSP by saying he is a GOAT "contender" because they know deep down any conversation without his name makes them look incredulous and they maintain this but truly they wish an MMA wrestler never accomplished so much. And its natural, if I didnt love wreslting and I trained only striking arts I would probabaly have the same regard for GSP but........

"If you can't wrestle, you can't fight" - Mark Coleman You make it sound as if GSP is a pure wrestler. He's also a great striker and uses a variety of styles. He is a great example of a true mixed martial artist, but he can't really fit into the mma wrestler category like Coleman and Romero, imo.
