Is GSP becoming predictable?

I honestly believe that no matter how good a martial artist is in any combat sport there will always be elements that they are more advanced at than others. In GSP's case, although he is very well rounded, his mastery of wrestling has a greater edge than is very outstanding striking. I wouldn't call it predictable, but I can understand a person using what is best to get the greatest results. Every fighter, even Bruce Lee who favored his kicks over punches seems to carry this attitude when engaging their opponents. Mike Tyson used his strength over his speed, which he had good amount of both. Chuck Liddell uses his striking ability when it is said that his wrestling matches that of Tito Ortiz. GSP did what he felt he had to do to win and stuck with it. I do agree in a sport that is about money, winning, and the fans, he should always remember that the show "unfortunately" is sometimes more important than the fight itself. I don't see GSP or any other fighter in the future totally changing their game plan and strengths just for the excitement and appeal of the fans, but i do see him focusing more on a finish and not just a victory by decision .
