If any of you care, CBS Sports Network is apparently running the full set of 2017 World’s Strongest Man episodes consecutively any minute now.

Important question: Who was that heavyweight fighter who looked like their body was full of spider's eggs? Everytime he moved, the fat would shift, and show the outline of lumps just under his skin. It was memorable. However, his name and the fight were not.

Maybe the UFC can talk Bisping into another short notice appearence given he isn't going to remember the Gastelum fight.

Kelvin is so good when he's on, and it's incredibly depressing to think about how much better he could be if he actually took his poo poo seriously. He's the reincarnation of Korean BBQ-era Mach.

Would having a functional right eye have saved him from that left hook or was that just something that was gonna happen anyway?

To be honest I've been waiting for his right eye to get him in trouble like this for years, but this particular knockout just makes him look chinny

That was as solid a left as Kelvin has ever thrown and it would have knocked out basically any MW it connected with in the same fashion.

Didn't really matter this time. The right hook Gastellum lands immediately before popped Bisping into position and put him off balance so he couldn't move his head

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.
I'm glad Anderson SIlva didn't get knocked out this morning

He does take almost every aspect seriously, he just can't loving eat right. It's not like with Hendricks, where the food and gut is just a symptom of how every other aspect of his training is hosed. Kelvin even seems to have pretty solid cardio.

He's just super ill disciplined. He's been spotted drinking beers and eating burritos and poo poo days before weigh ins.

I still want to see him fight Silva but Derek Brunson could be a cool match up.

I had it muted because I had company over but what happened during the one women's fight where the chinese girl's shoulder looked all jacked up? Did she dislocate it?

Also Gastellum vs Whittaker would be kinda cool.

You need haters. Fellas if you got 20 haters, you need 40 of them motherfuckers. If there's any haters in here that don't have nobody to hate on, feel free to hate on me
bisping had a really amazing career and really represents the kind of nonsense that mma is

he came off the reality show after being Kristian Rothaermel, a middleweight fighting at lhw, and then Josh Haynes to win the season. he is on the receiving end of probably the biggest KO ever and had a very up and down career, winning mostly by decision or TKO after wearing the other person out. he is noticeably slower, weaker, and blinder when all of a sudden he wins three huge fights to cement his place in history, including a revenge fight for the previously mentioned KO. he then loses 2 fights in a brutal fashion and will be given a layup at his retirement fight in march.

also he had a bunch of cameos in throwaway movies to make some quick cash, as well as Twin Peaks.
