That said, what really bothered me in this thread have been been the "Frenchy" comment by Serra and the "ritard" comment by some members. Both of which may have to do with the above-mentioned fact of GSP being a French speaker.

But, in any case, what they should do is fight again soon. They seem to have the public eager to see it.

He didn't seem to have any issues getting his point across the first couple of weeks after the fight, when all of us were saying how much of a good guy he was for not saying.......then he went and said it. I don't think 'I only trained for 2 weeks' and 'I am training as hard as I ever have' is a translation or articulating problem.

The Frenchy thing is a bit over the top but what is he gonna say when a guy is taking cheap shots at him? That he isn't good (cause we all know GSP is that good), or that he over estimated GSP (that would never happen), no he won't say those things cause that would be a lie. A guy is taking cheap shots at me, I take them back. Could I take the high rode sure but GSP started this and when in Rome (especially when it will help sell tickets also). Does he hate all French people? I would doubt it. Does he hate all people on tractors (like he made fun of Hughes)? I doubt it.
