Two Kinds of Conditioning

GSP vs BJ
It was a beating most would not endure. As GSP came out you could not deny the obvious perfect physical shape the man was in. As the match went on it became apparent that GSP had the physical conditioning to go along with the chiseled body. Near the end of the fourth round it occurred to me , look at BJ, this guy is not giving up, you have to admire the mental fortitude this man possesses. It just was crystal clear the difference between physical conditioning and mental conditioning. I am sure GSP has plenty of mental conditioning as well, however, he did not need to tap into that reservoir as much.
It makes you realize what extraordinary athletes these people are, thank goodness for rules, judges and a brother who cares about you.
Just my thoughts on the UFC fight.
