It's basic geometry: if you are throwing punches from a low crouch, you minimize your reach by giving yourself more distance to cover to reach the opponent's face. That's what's happening to GSP in a fight like this one.

Yes - a fight where he's more concerned about stuffing the takedown attempts than landing the overhand right. I'm sure he would have been better off if he'd just adopted Dan Henderson's strategy against Shields - as you seem to be suggesting.

The only thing that (technically) finished Penn was grease. Hardly something to brag about.

Yup. He always does that. He's either a Triple H wannabe, or likes to be slippery. You decide.

I learned that Canadian sports commission officials will never issue a TKO to a fighter who's blind from one eye (UFC 124, UFC 129).

So the guy has to be passed it or cheat against a much smaller fighter?
