Bisping is a stud but it seems bizarre the commission and UFC would let this happen. He got dropped, hit with some big shots then choked unconscious and a month later he will be back in there?Quote:

Bisping fought guys for years that had doctors giving them test for quasi-legit reasons, getting a doc to clear him within 30 days is easy peasy. Don't fret, tho, I'm sure the Shanghai commission will take an extra careful look at things before the fight. Safety first and whatnot.Quote:

there is simply limit to the amount of money i would have lost on these fights had i been able to easily deposit.
The Shroud of Pettis.
Weird how they'd spend like 60+ (?) seconds with the towel sucking up the blood of the open cuts with a minute left in the round.
Hilarious incident between Werdum and Covington. Sounds like a sucker punch was involved, a boomerang to the face, some homophobic slurs and a lawsuit.
http://www.bjpenn.com/mma-news/colby...bricio-werdum/
Werdum has been a fucking total mess since he lost the belt.
Last night was chaotic. Covington came forward with the allegations of the sucker punch and put up a video he himself took. In the video Covington called Werdum a faggot (Covington isn't very smart). Werdum responded in the media saying he never hit Covington and it was Covington who called him a filthy Brazilian and followed up the insult by kicking him. Werdum said in response he hit his cell phone out of his hand.Quote:

You can't really have a HW running around picking fights with the smaller divisions star fighters.
at this point, i mean, i legit feel like either stipe gave him actual brain damage or he's not responding well to his shiny new roid cycle.
hes just not mentally healthy.
even that shit with travis' team in the cage takes on a real unsavory, disturbing feel if you view it as part of a larger behavior pattern.
also, cant fucking wait to see an actual video of werdum dome'ing some white gook with a fucking boomerang.
i had higher hopes.
still tho, not bad.
Holm vs Cyborg for UFC 219
I wish I could bet somewhere on who pisses hot first
So this is great.
Ok.. apparently this is your new Dec 30 UFC Main Event:
You know who was supposed to be headlining?
Conor McGregor.
You know why he's not?
Because he jumped in the ring and assaulted the fucking ref at that Bellator event.
Which is hilarious enough, but the real punch line here is that within days of Conor being quietly scrubbed from the card, a viral video magically popped up of De La Hoya saying he could KO Conor in 2 rounds or less.
So yeah there is a real chance that Conor will just blow off MMA for good and be the worlds most expensive boxing can for the rest of his life.
Money will still be just as greenQuote:

Jesus Christ, is that the main event for their year end show? What a fucking joke. Almost comical.Quote:

I mentioned in this thread the De La Hoya vs McGregor fight and I really think that could have legs. Golden Boy will have to risk the guaranteed money and it's possible they won't be willing to. That could be the only draw back, no change the UFC does.
"Whispers" of Nate Diaz v Woodley are in the air but a) its not signed and b) gotta wonder about what either fighter looks like with a 6 week camp.
Apparently Woodley has signed the contract for that fight and is putting the pressure on Nate to do the same.Quote:

Hard to imagine the UFC coming up with anything too excited this close to the event.
Oh Nates getting coma'd but there is this incredibly slim chance he outboxes Woodley and saves 2017, so yeah I'm feeling it.
You doubting Stockton? Diaz Bros 4 life vatoQuote:

For all you early risers. Bisping is fighting in China shortly.
8am EST would be my guess.
Thanks for putting it in EST but I will watch the replay later.Quote:

sadly im sure his next fight will be against like oscar de la hoya and billed as the greatest athletic event of the century and will do a million plus ppv sales despite bisping eeking out a split decision after gassing in the opening minutes of the 2nd round.

Bisping should hang it up after his last fight against a can on the London card. Good run, tho
the stated plan is to retire on the London card in like March or whenever it is.Quote:

Bisping has has a hell of a career, age catches up to everyone. Vitor Belfort would be a nice and winnable fight to wind up his career although he already has an opponent.
Gastelum has great hands, tons of power and speed. Him vs Whittaker would be a fun fight although Weidman should be ahead in the line for that one. Gastelum vs Rockhold could make some sense.

i agree btw that bisping v belfort would be fantastic for like at least 90 straight seconds and honestly thats enough for me.
The danger in that fight for Rockhold is he values his stand-up way too highly. He's sloppy with terrible defense and he gets hit. I actually think this is a very dangerous fight for him.Quote:

Sounds like the UFC is looking to do Gastelum vs Souza. That's another nice one, I love the bigger middleweights vs the speedy smaller guys.

UFC been promoting Francis Ngannou as hard as they can lately, and its easy to see why. Guy's got a good story and power for days. A few days ago the UFC put out this video showing he's actually the hardest puncher in the world! Seen a bunch of the regular mma sites write the same general press release style article, basic restating that he's got the new record for punching power. Here's the video.

My favorite thing about this is the metric they used. Units. 129,161 units. Such a big number! So many units!! Tyrone Spong only had 114,000 units!
Such frauds.

Looks like everything is fucked up again in the UFC as GSP will be sidelined for awhile with colitis.

That looks like a blessing in disguise. GSP is out for a few, with a condition that will likely result in him losing some of the weight he put on (he already lost some of it anyway). He hands the belt back over, Whittaker's interim becomes the real, and GSP is all set for Conor or whoever the fuck they want at 170, or even 155 or a catchweight.Quote:
