I guess it's finally time to admit that Bisping isn't the greatest fighter of all time.

Only the greatest middleweight...

Yeah but e: some steroids take your cardio. Not saying Sherk wouldn't have avoided those, but doping could definitely affect how your body changes in terms of cardio adaptation.

No one's talking about Stephen Thompson's win over Masvidal. Who should he fight next? You really can't throw him up against Woodley again. Maybe Colby Covington or...or...I think everyone else is booked up. Even fuckin Ponzinibbio.

The only reason I remember that fight is so I can complain about it nearly putting me and my friends to sleep. gently caress wonder boy forever.

Wonderboy is basically white gangly Machida.

Karate counter puncher
Trained by dad
Drinks piss???

Does cool karate stuff if you engage him, but if you don't it might be a loooooong night.

Then you put him up against a guy who likes standing with his back to the cage doing nothing and you have the most electrifying instant rematch in UFC history.

Wonderboy is the new Fitch. He's just gonna sit in that #1 slot and derail anyone else trying to get a title shot. They're gonna have to start keeping guys away from him and teasing him with phony #1 contender fights cause nobody wants to see a 3rd Woodley match.

If this is true then it's probably just the UFC servers being compromised which wouldn't be surprising unfortunately

I could easily see Bisping picking a fight with someone essier and then retiring if he wins.

Not really and this would only happen if Dana White finally had enough of Conor and decided to throw him to the wolves but instead of wolves he meant a french-canadian.

If he threw his rushing 1-2s with more power, more accuracy, or more often (pick 2), he would be a lot more exciting.

i think he had a job then but he trained like a pro even when he had a job. maybe his strength and wrestling have picked up but i dunno. the reason i brought it up is he hasnt fought at 135 in a long time, he wasnt an elite wrestler there, and brad pickett was the worst wrestler who gave him problems

You think that maybe a guy who effortlessly outwrestled an olympian, a member of team alpha male and a Sambo champion might have improved in 7 years. Maybe, you dunno. He wasn't an elite anything at that point in his career. It was his first fight at a venue that wasn't also a waffle stand.

Brad Pickett is actually a solid wrestler, symptomatic of the magical place that was the WEC, where British guys could wrestle and Japanese fighters had really great title fights instead of just being depressing drunks.

He's not even the best middleweight to lose to a title fight to a welterweight.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Someone ask Alistair Overeem if he saw the tap
