I know a bunch of people hate Bisping, but I hope he wins. The guy has grinded for a long time and finally got a shot and took it. The rest of the card is not the best, but that certainly never dictates how good the fights will be.

Fvck Bisping, but he should win easily.

I don't get why people hate the guy. He talks shit, but he seems like he's being real about it. Nothing he says feels fake or forced or for the hype. I love that he called out Yeol. That guy was banned for PEDs and, let's be real, he looks like he is juiced the fuck out.

The guy might be a dick, but so are other beloved fighters like the Diaz brothers and McGregor. The only difference is Bisping isn't at the top of the class in terms of ability. He has the belt now, but I think Rockhold and Wiedman are above him in terms of skills.

He is a dick like you said, the Diaz a-holes, I feel the same way about. Conor, can be also, but he is doing it for promotion. I might get to a point where I feel the same about Conor, time will tell.

 

[Miramonti]

Bisping is polarizing, but he's a helluva proven fighter. Henderson on the other hand is an enigma, likely to lose at this stage/age, but still capable of beating anyone. I have to go with the odds and figure Bisping is going to win.

 

[UncleWai]

Moose should get winner of weidman vs romero.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Holy sh!t, that was close.

 

[Miramonti]

Vicious right. This is a slow plodding standup fight, which is not going to bode well for bisping if he allows Henderson to headhunt like that.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

I say Bisping won, didn't win easily that's for sure, but I think the judges will give it to him.

 

[smackababy]

That fight was closer than I though it would be. But hendo didn't do enough. Hendo is tougher than a lot of people give him.

 

[Kobota]

49-46? judges terrible as usual

 

[Miramonti]

Very close, but no surprise on the decision. H-bomb almost got the knockout a couple times, but Bisping is tough.

Too tough for the decision imo.

 

[JEDIYoda]

Brock Lesnar all the way!!!!

 

[Number1]

Never liked Bisping much but wow he has my respect after this fight.

What do you mean?

Never liked Bisping much but wow he has my respect after this fight.

That's pretty wack, to gain 19 ufc wins, against many top fighters (including his losses), plus hanging on from two devastating h-bombs to win a 20th, to just now finally get your "respect". lol

 

[WaTaGuMp]

He will lose the title on his next defense to anyone in the top 5.

Well whenever I think of Bisping this image comes to mind... Knocked out cold...LOL Ill admit i have not paying much attention to his career.

I'd have said the same thing when he was fighting Rockhold, whom he promptly knocked out. Anything can really happen. Though, the current top 4 of Weidman, Rockhold, Yoel, and Jacare look to poised to take the belt from him.

What do you mean?

Not entirely sure.

It was a phenomenal knockout...7 years ago.

It was a phenomenal knockout...7 years ago.

And two really clean right hands couldn't totally rock Bisping. Rewatching those rounds and the seeing analysis. He wasn't defenseless after each of those and didn't get totally dominated on the ground.
