The End of an Era?

In the blight of the announcement of Georges St. Pierre's ACL blow-out, there is now a lot of speculation that the man known as "Rush" will never be the same and that it is now an end of an era.

As is it GSP has been criticized as of late for not being able to finish fights. Touted as a knock-out artist and a submission specialist during the early part of his career, GSP was finishing opponents left and right be in on the feet standing or on the ground. That's until he ran into Matt Serra which saw him losing his UFC Welterweight title and losing the exciting fighter which had the killer instinct of finishing opponents.

I have to say that I have been a GSP fan from the start and I really hope that he bounces back. With that said, it is hard to image him coming back in the same from the ACL injury, however an injury like such does not only affect you physically it will also affect your psyche. And for a fighter who relies on explosiveness in the way he fights, if anything is certain it's that he will surely never be the same fighter when he comes back, but for MMA pundits to declare an end of an era, I'd like to think that is a little bit too premature.
