How is Bispring totally beatable? Look at his record dude, you basically HAVE to finish him or he will dance and jab the fukk outta you and get a decision. Bispring aint new to this, he's true to this. Theres nothing "totally beatable" about guys like that. He also has probably the best chin in that division and hes on a pretty nice streak. This aint a easy fight for Yoel atall

Everyone with power in his division is capable of this. Most of the MW top 10 has that type of power. He was KO'd on his feet vs silva, was in trouble vs hendo etc. Still got those wins

I'm not underselling bisping at all he's come a long way and I seen it. he's no longer the scrappy gatekeeper. But still totally beatable and got most of those wins on that record gatekeeping. Dudes with power can land the type of hits that puts bisping to sleep in any round unless he's drowning them with his stamina.

Dude hes one of the least hit fighters in the entire ufc. He.s only been Ko'd twice in his entire career and it was by the two biggest KO artists in the entire division(TRT vitor and TRT Hendo) all the way back in 2013 and 2009. Anderson landed that knee because Bispring had his hands down looking at the ref :laff:

I mean come on, i know hes annoying but hes fought damn near every killer you can name, stop it. Yoel better HOPE he lands early or its gonna be a long boring night

To be fair, Yoel would be smart to make it a wrestling match and could really dominate the fight if he'd just bully his way in like Kennedy did; but 100% agreement about Bisping standing. The reason I mentioned him being great at getting in opponents' head is that he seems to be consistently slept on until he's stealing rounds with his 100 feints per minutes. I got Romero winning but if Bisping gets dude to throw away smart gameplanning, we've seen Bisping completely throw off quality strikers (that Rockhold KO is a thing of beauty).

JimmyV tells the people how he is feeling about the Superbowl win the Patriots came back in historic fashion to beat the Falcons. Kosher talks about the Charles Oakley incident. Both Kosher and JimmyV show respect to Paul Pierce last game in Boston. Trey Songz new reality tv show on VH1, Kosher and JimmyV got plenty to say about that!

That would be smarter than the lay and pray method he used against Weidman. Weidman has to lead to win and thats why he fukks up and gets caught, Bispring doesnt have to lead.

GDR is offering Holly a rematch
Thats nice of her but I think it's some reverse psychology, I mean how sad would holly look if she took it. And given how Dana commented on it I doubt he ever wants to see this fight again. He said holly would probably be back at 135 anyway

i know holly beat ronda but she got 3 straight L's. she need to go back on the undercard/prelims.

the only reason that division exist is because of cyborg. if she ain't next or that other invicta champ megan anderson, then get rid of the division.
I got to laugh at this Megan Anderson talk

Holly/GDR was a weak fight, I doubt the UFC goes for another with Cyborg in the wings. Holly would prolly do best to drop back to 135 and start working back up from the 10-15 ranked fighters as a start. She needs to just get a damned win and work from there. Jessica Eye maybe or Bethe (though if I'm not mistaken she's booked).
