i know that to be true b/c it is Brandon "The TRUTH" Vera.  I have to agree. i can really see GSP admiring his face in the morning so do you really think that man wants it to be messed up a little? only 1 month, 27 days and roughly 11 and 1/2 hours to fight time.

"The Truth" is really fiction, thought he was gonna be HW champ then LHW champ, those lofty goals he set after winning one fight in the UFC didn't really pan out for him.

No body LIKES to get hit in the face.  Some people may not wake up or really get into their fight until they get tagged once or twice, but no body enjoys it.  The reason guys like Griffin and Leben fought better after getting hit wasn't because they physically enjoyed it, it's because it pissed them off and really got their adrenaline pumping.  There's a difference between ENJOYING something, and NEEDING something.  I hate going to work, but I need to.

I think Vera said that bc of previous fights... the "poke" against Shields comes to mind.  I wanted GSP to get in there and so something.  But GSP is excellent with defense when he makes his game plans.  How many times have you seen him wreck someone (albeit for a UD) but he looks like he just jogged a mile?  IE: Fitch

Georges likes getting punched in the face as much as Vera likes being used as a bongo. The quantity: Not very much

I think the point he was trying to make was that when GSP gets hit in the face, he loses concentration and the game plan goes out the window.  Lets face it, he hasn't been the same (when getting hit) since Serra.

It surprises me that this is news. Since when do people listen to what Brandon Vera says? And why would he talk **** about someone in 2 weight classes below him? If he wants to be talked about he should try winning a few fights, rather than talk **** about one of the greatest fighters in MMA.

In other news,

KJ Noons told me that Diaz loves getting punched in the face. He'd know.

I wouldn't say I love it but I like a good punch in the face and I'm definately in canada, Mostly on a cheek or the forehead and eyebrows. The nose is just annoying and the chin is just so cliche.
