I enjoyed seeing Bisping getting knocked down. Henderson is an animal. Shame he ran out of puff so quickly.
I don't like bispings mouth. No need for it. I know some will say it's all part of the game etc but I just don't see the need to be so disrespectful. Same as that macgregor knobber.

Ah lads did ye see his face today ?? Terrible PR for the sport. Any sport.
Hoe bad is it? I doubt anyone who enjoys mma competition is going to have their mind changed by a bruised up face, the eye looked bad at the time. The ufc have to be careful about their public image but at this point they're not concerned with winning people over, the market is big enough with the people who already don't care about injuries to the competitors.As it stands I'm not certain but I'm pretty sure Bisping ongoing inherent rye issues would stop him getting a license to straight box, he's had several retina detachments and one eye is completely fked as I understand, they are what they are these guys, fookin loonies, which is why the sport attracts such and admiring fan base.
As an aside I think we all know Bisping is not the best middle weight in the ufc, and although he deserved his time with the belt he's going to have to pull of another miracle job to defend against a fit Wiedman, Rockhold, Jacare et al.

I've not watched it yet, but I agree with this completely. He's got heart but I don't think he's really got the skills...AdamIndy said:

Bisping irritates me as he just comes across as a complete idiot the way he talks. Doesn't do much to convey a good image of Brits given he is the best known of not very many. Credit where it's due; he does have immense skills and heart, has been in the game for many years, and has won the belt.

So UFC is finally back this weekend after a few weeks off.
Will be interesting to see how RDA bounces back after the Alvarez defeat.
He looked un-stoppable up until that point.
Then we have UFC 205 next weekend, without a doubt the best card on paper the UFC have ever done.
I like to make it a little more interesting with a cheeky £20 bet, I've gone for the below this time.
