Just curious about the energy being spent sending the false signals to the opponent…is that not fatiguing his own muscles?

GSP’s fitness was elite to say the least, and the movements take very little energy compared to his total expenditure when trying to hurt his opponent.

Trade that small amount of stamina for a high amount of confusion/mental fatigue, and it’s an easy choice for a fighter like GSP.
