Bisping vs GSP is more of a "what kind of shape are then in today" fight than anything.

IMO the GSP who beat Thiago Alves and Jon Fitch beats the best Bisping that ever existed.

The GSP who squeaked by Hendricks probably wouldn't beat the Bisping who lost to Sonnen.

Ring rust is a thing, but GSP has typically come back bigger and better after a loss/regroup. Cruz showed that a long break can be beneficial to a fighter who stays in shape and engaged with his craft.

So what are we going to see? :iiam: Tune in and find out. That's the main appeal of the fight.

no the worst case scenario is Bisping just completely owns him for 5 rounds and cruises to a lopsided decision while beating him on the feet, taking him down and beating him up, and then maybe yelling out a french slur or ten

No way. That scenario is above median, at least from an entertainment perspective.

TJ is exciting when he's clearly winning. His fights vs Barao are rad as gently caress, especially the first one. His close fights tend to be tepid.

Commonshore posted:

The promo shots and staredowns of JJ (glamour glamour) and Rose (psychopathic staredowns) are starting to give me a Rocky III feeling about this match. Rose's kryptonite is people who will wrestle her, and JJ isn't going to do that. That means we're looking at an aggressive kickboxing match with Rose threatening submissions here and there.

Rose by TKO or submission might be a live underdog bet. If available, Rose TKO (cuts) might have particularly good value as a long shot bet, and it's worth a fiver.

:smugdog:

Had I been not too lazy to bet, I could have won $125 for that fiver on the Rose by TKO +2500 line.

If he made it $10 a year I'd pay $10/year.

Honestly, I get more entertainment out of SA than Netflix or Fightpass, but I don't think I could convince myself to pay $10/month for a shitpost forum.

E. he should add a $2 "give custom title" function which doesn't override the titles and avs. That poo poo would sell gangbusters.

Triticum Guzzler posted:

Are they giving any signals that they're going to stop doing tuf yet?

They just did a casting call for "undefeated male fighters." The only other signal is that they seem to have quietly abandoned the "TUF around the world" campaign. The TUF Latin America 3 finale was over a year ago, and I've seen no buzz about any continuation of that series.

IMO they should split the difference on TUF and DW'sTNCS: ditch the house and run a steady flow of four-fighter tournaments for UFC shots.

Nibbles! posted:

The Fertitta's were pushing for global expansion and TUF *insert region* was their first step towards that. From memory Lorenzo's last words on the subject before the sale was that he envisioned different countries having their own UFC 'league' which then fed into the UFC itself.

WME dropped those plans with the purchase as they felt it was better to focus on the North American market.

Yep.
