My excitement for Weidman/Rockhold was

But a possible Jacaré/Rockhold match-up is

Looks like it might just be Rockhold/Bisping.

They're not doing Bisping a favor putting him back in there with Rockhold if that happens.

No top 3 opponent vs Bisprings blind ass is a "favor" just give the old fukker his pity title shot and get it over with. He'll talk some good shyt with luke on Fox and the euro fans will tune in and watch him get demolished

If Jacare's banged up, I assume it'll go to Bisping since they got him ranked 4 and he was gonna be there to do media work anyway. I honestly feel like he might as well get a shot and get it out of the way, dude's longevity and bringing the Euro viewers to the UFC warrant at least one shot in his career though it shoulda been earlier since he's cooked against any elite opponent (plus I think he got jerked by the Sonnen decision). But if I'm being real about it; I'd rather see Robert Whitaker, Derek Brunson or Uriah Hall get that look.

I dont like Bisping so my opinion is definitely biased, I just think its funny he talks so much shyt for someone who has been in the UFC for 10 years and never sniffed a title shot. He also was completely dominated and got choked out with one arm by rockhold. Only thing bisping has going for him is that he can sell it. I agree with all your choices to fill in for Weidman though, assuming uriah hall / anderson doesnt get moved to ufc 200.

Great conversation with#TBE tonight. #MakingHistory#Champion2016#TMT

 

[jackswstd]

Weidman should look on the bright side, he just got spared an ass whuppin. Don't see Bisping having any more of a shot than he had last time against Rockhold, Jacare should've been given this shot from jump and now he's banged up too

Let nikkas know

Bisping gets the nod to fight Rockhold

You were looking forward to weidman/Rockhold 2? It was one of the most unnecessary rematches ever and the lack of buzz proved it. I like the way the mma gods are intervening on some of these dumb matchmaking decisions. The replacement isn't any better but this dude has been much too smug after being helped by judges to beat Anderson l. Perhaps another ass kicking from Rockhold will humble him

 

[The G.O.D II]

Financially it's probably better for Bisping to be in there. Only difference this fight is Rock probably finishes him in the first
