What are you talking about? Some guys would rather die than quit like a little bitch. You think Oleg Taktarov would quit? BJ is a little doughball with limited skills and not an ounce of heart.
that's just macho talking, BJ still has a belt and didn't wanted to finish his career dead... you're not defending your country nor your honor by dying on the field but by winning on the field and if that means taking a step back to come stronger, then I admire your intelligence, if you willingly want to die in front of a stronger opponent, I don't want you on my side
where BJ was stupid was when he said he was going to the death... that's plain stupid, it's still just a sport and his bullshit talk was so immature... anyway, to me it was obvious that GSP was going to win, I don't get how more then 50% of the public thought the contrary. Instead of admitting they couldn't predicted, they're blaming BJ
