GSP: 5 Reasons The Greatest UFC Welterweight Ever Should Stay Retired

4. GSP Has Other Options

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHh0XaW0UyQ GSP's first on-screen role in a major motion picture (we're not counting some low-budget stuff he did back in 2009 with other fighters) was the recently released Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier. In it, he played Batroc the Leaper, an ex-French foreign legion member, mercenary, and martial artist. Real name Georges Batroc, the character first appeared in 1966 and was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, as so many great comic book characters have been. That's right, GSP has played a character created by Stan Lee. That is cool. His next role will be in a remake of the Jean-Claude Van Damme classic Kickboxer. Apparently, he also wants me to play poker, appearing in 888poker.com commercials, and drink Gatorade, and he's got a book, The Way of the Fight, Rushfit, a home exercise program, and... See what I'm getting at here? GSP doesn't really need to fight to make money.
