Wow, GSP is in DESPERATE need of some aggression. He dominated the shit out of this fight, but didn't DO anything with any of it. Late in the fight, he let Kampmann hit him a few times, and made a fight out of this, but it could have cost him the fight. Kampmann did some damage there! Though this was in no way as easy as anyone thought, most of it is GSPs fault for having minimal aggression, and doing minimal damage. Kampmann did more in 10 seconds of offence than GSP did in 2 rounds.

Wow, GSP is in DESPERATE need of some aggression. He dominated the shit out of this fight, but didn't DO anything with any of it. Late in the fight, he let Kampmann hit him a few times, and made a fight out of this, but it could have cost him the fight. Kampmann did some damage there! Though this was in no way as easy as anyone thought, most of it is GSPs fault for having minimal aggression, and doing minimal damage. Kampmann did more in 10 seconds of offence than GSP did in 2 rounds.
