surprised at this matchmaking, hoping Machida sleeps fugazi McGregor
Chinzo's my DUDE! He's flawed and all but he's the most entertaining striker to watch in Bellator outside of MVP when he's cooking. Gallagher needed a test like this, he's looked good in tin can alley but now he gets to face some proper talent which will make it a lot easier to evaluate dude.

Michael Bisping issues ultimatum to Georges St-Pierre: Set date or lose title shot to Yoel Romero
Bisping wants in on the big event...allegedly. I don't buy this but it'd earn points with me if the dude said "GSP's taking too long" and took Romero after all. It'd also do wonders for the division logjam.

Yeah me neither, not only is he being a coward but there is also a lot of money at stake. If GSP says he's ready December he'd wait. If UFC/Dana want that fight it doesn't matter when GSP or bisbing say so I don't know why he's pretending there is some deadline. Its like he's been reading the headlines for floyd/McGregor or something

From a pure speculation space, trying to force GSP to fight 2 months earlier than he says he'd need to be ready is the kinda edge a guy like Bisping would love to have and getting the main event of the biggest UFC of the year is definitely something he'd chase after. Anyway, 100% cosign you here, WME isn't risking their investment in that fight by letting Bisping get smashed by Romero and I doubt GSP would want to make his big comeback against an olympic level wrestler.

I wonder if anyone can really call their own shots up in WME... Bisping talks a good game... but will UFC actually listen to what he's saying? Or is he just lip service to keep his name in the headlines till they announce the card in July.

Superstar
Yeah, this was back when hunt didnt know a lick of grappling. But for him to even control the bigger man the way he did, shouldnt be disregarded as well
Feel like there has to be some type of contractual shyt. Can't see how a champion would be obligated to fight anyone except the top contender.
Imagine a champion getting stripped for turning down a super fight
Alistair Overeem vs. Fabricio Werdum Targeted For UFC 213. I hope Werdum doesn't flop on his ass repeatedly
