Interesting.. didn't see that at all and think I'd be safe assuming the general sentiment is the opposite. He wanted that middleweight title badly, George has always been about legacy, building his resume so to speak. Only Randy Couture, BJ Penn and Connor McGregor have been two division champs, GSP added himself to that elite group Saturday night. He wanted another division title.
Now the bigger question is if he has much interest in keeping it. Think the plan is to go down and get the 170 title again, becoming only the 2nd guy to be a double champ (along with Connor). This could then set up a title fight between GSP and McGregor at 170. George would then drop the middleweight title setting up a superfight for the middleweight strap with Connor.
That superfight lets GSP add a huge name to his wins and gives Connor the potential to be the only three division champ in UFC history.
