He has obviously gained alot of strength, power and skill since he first came to the UFC. I don't think anyone can dispute that.
Yeah, I'm sure he has gained strength since coming to the UFC.
But this "story" was about him gaining a lot of strength since that loss to Serra.

Which is funny because I remember Marc Laimon's comments from when they were taping TUF 4. He said GSP was bigger and stronger than the middleweights on that show.
So I guess he's now as strong as the top light heavyweights?

By the time he fights Fitch he'll probably have the strength of a heavyweight, who knows.
