Kind of unfortunate that Silva just got old, and got caught, and wasn't willing to take his fights seriously anymore, and now his division is a deflating balloon letting out fart sounds as it flies around the room, while the web tries to convince themselves that a succession of mid tier ham and eggers are the future.

silva is so good. even though mma is relatively new i think he will be remembered for a long time

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.

Bisping vs Hendo isnt gonna happen but it would be less dangerous fight for Hendo than Lombard, Mousasi, Vitor both times, etc. Theyve given Hendo a lot of pretty dangerous fights all things considered

Yep couldn't agree more.

If one of the upcoming champions gets injured, like Dos Anjos pulls out or Dana White comes to his senses about Tyron Woodley getting a title shot and scrambles to replace it, I could see Bisping vs Hendo getting booked. But that's only because both Jacare and Weidman just got out of surgery and even Anderson is not too far removed from surgery. Rockhold has a medical suspension and Yoel has a retard cheater suspension. In a few months one is gonna be ready and then there's a much better option than Hendo.

Bisping vs Henderson 2 in London. Do it UFC.

There was a fan made game akin to Fifa Manager & Out of the Park Baseball that let you run an MMA Organization. It wasn't great but it was pretty fun and I sort of wish UFC/EA would make that kind of game but with the UFC and a bunch of random events that happen that basically make you go insane with trying to manage the organization.

This was the series I was thinking of.

Apparently the 3rd version came out last year which is kinda cool, still needs better graphics/art though.

Realistically, what kind of chance does Hendo have over Bisbing?

Genuine question, because I haven't really been following either for very long.

In theory Hendo is a bad matchup for Bisping, and totally humiliated him the first time they fought, but that was like 10 years ago and Bisping has gotten better and Hendo is extremely old

Its as fair as a fight as exists for Hendo at this point because Bisping is still hittable inside the pocket, doesnt have a ton of one-hit power like a Vitor, and isnt an overpowering grappler like Jacare or Rockhold who would likely ragdoll Hendo and his arthritic back and knees like Cormier did

This is exactly the kind of thinking that goes on in the heads of people like Dana White.

"That guy I now hate/always hated has one of the records in my organisation, better engineer a way to take it off him"

He must be salty as gently caress at Frank Mir popping for kangaroids and not being able to take the outright #1 spot on Most UFC Fights Ever from :ortiz:

Bruce Leeroy looked great in that last fight. Yair is a tough match for him though.

I'd like to see Hendo fight Bisping and I'd imagine Bisping would like to avenge that loss. Pretty rough on Jacare and Weidman though. gently caress Rockhold.

I think he did that thing the second time because Bisping was trying to be a good sport and Rockhold just blankly stared at him. Might have just been the concussion though.

I just want to jump back a moment and say how great it is that Luke Rockhold lost his belt by boxing with Bisping, literally the only area of fighting where Bisping had any advantage at all. And it wasn't because he was somehow forced to box by anything Bisping was doing, rather Rockhold went there willingly out of stupidity and laziness.

I think I honestly enjoy seeing everyone convince themselves that bisping was actually good the whole time more than seeing everyone nod vigorously and agree that the fighter they didn't like actually is bad at fighting after a loss. Maybe it's just the novelty.

Ehh.. Bisping did a good job of using footwork to take away Rockholds power kicks and stay out of the clinch, and Rockhold basically has never shot a takedown from range in his career (not to mention Bispings takedown defense is actually pretty good). His game is pretty much entirely power left kicks, right hook, and forcing scrambles. Its a lot easier said than done for him to do anything other than box Bisping especially early in the fight imo
