Whenever I think of GSP, I immediately think of him fumbling a back flip attempt and talking about lactic acid buildup (post-fight) while Joe Rogan makes the most confused face you could ever fathom. Some would call both of those memes epic failures, but I think it’s what makes him adored by his entire country. Well, that, and winning all the time. We’re in the middle of GSP’s longest career layoff due to injury, and he’s all but ready to make his return to the octagon later this year. MMA fighters tend to recover from what other athletes would consider career-ending injuries.

Here is a portion of GSP’s physical therapy and recovery process, courtesy of GSP’s official YouTube channel.
