As a BJJ / Wrestling fan, that was one hell of a match to watch. Complete clowning from start to finish.

No, Jon Fitch is actually one of my favorite fighters. I love the work horse, grind them down ethic. But with GSP it just bores me. GSP and Fitch fight in the same fashion but people absolutely love GSP and boo Fitch, it pisses me off. You're right, GSP is toying with his opponents and I can completely see that, he treats his opponents like they are sparring partners and that's boring to me, especially for a guy who says he wants to finish opponents. And I never said GSP bores me because of his style, he bores me because he is actually that much better than his opponents and yet he doesn't finish the fight when he's proven in the past that he can manhandle stronger competition than Alves and Hardy. Don't get me wrong, I was cheering for Hardy in this fight but I knew he didn't stand a chance.
And, Ace, either you believe that GSP is a nice guy who doesn't want to hurt opponents or you believe what he said at the post-fight press conference that he was trying his hardest to rip Hardy's arm off.
