GSP is one of the nicest people, and also a great champion. A true legend

[@timhomstad]

GSP is the greatest champion the UFC ever had. He avenged his two losses, continued to elevate his game throughout his career, and most importantly acted like a champion outside of the ring. We are blessed to have had him. The GOAT
