Ariel Helwani was tweeted a lot about GSP’s big post fight announcement, alluding to the fact that champion might be retiring with a win tonight. Greg Jackson went no comment and GSP’s trainer, Firas Zahabi, thought GSP didn’t know what GSP was going to do.
Just intvd Firas. I asked if this is GSP's last fight. "I don't know," he said with a smile. "I don't think GSP even knows. We'll see."

Just reporting the facts: I just asked Greg Jackson if he'll be in GSP's corner. He said he is letting GSP's mentor Midoux take his spot.

(Cont'd). I asked, why? "It's important he's there tonight," he said.

We found out right as Joe Rogan talked to the champ following his fight.
GSP apparently retired. He said he wants to go away for a little while to step away for a bit. It’s a bit confusing right now. Not sure what’s happening right now.
