Yeah, he was threatening to retire if he didn't get an interim title fight against Yoel and Dana basically responded with go ahead and retire then, and now Yoel is fighting Bisping so that wasn't going to happen anyway

Soon they can announce that Mc gregor vs Mayweather isnt happening either and then everything will be back to the sensible normal status quo (Romero beats Bisping then pops for steroids and retires and Bisping also retires and they do Derek brunson vs Vitor for the interim belt)

Just make a GSP vs Silva 180lb catchweight superfight or something, both of those guys probably shouldn't be near a belt

I say the opposite.

They are much more viable as title contenders than literally everyone at light heavyweight after the top two. Move them both up to 205.

Why? He's a very nice man. The only reason it was awesome the first time was because it was Serra and he was such an underdog.

gently caress it, if my nose got hosed up as badly as hers did by Nunes, I'd pay money to get it fixed as well. She was on Rogan's podcast and mentioned having breathing problems due to a deviated septum and he talked up having it corrected - after you retire. I assume there's no better way to get your septum re-deviated than being punched for money.

Screw GSP at this point. Everyone knew he was gonna drop the belt and duck Romero, but what a waste of time and also sucks for Jacare who probably wouldn't have taken a fight if Bisping v Romero was booked. It looks like Chael might have been right all along and GSP was teasing a return to stay in the news and keep his sponsors.

GSP has some pretty obvious anxiety problems and it may be that as the date approached he realized he just couldn't do it anymore. As much as it sucks for some of the other guys in the division, I'd rather GSP didn't go in there unprepared or mentally unready and get hurt horribly.

Of course, until we hear from GSP himself about what happened we're all just conjecturing.

Imo Yoel is nowhere near as bad a matchup for Bisping as is being said. Bisping has the toughness to weather the storm and the pressure and cardio to run circles around Yoel. I see romero having some crazy moments with Bisping winning a decision.

It is possible and it would be Bisping's most legit and least questionable win of his title career yeah, but I still see Yoel doing his One Weird Trick and putting Bisping away.

yep because while Romero is a weird slow fighter he can get the KO at anytime across 5 rounds, and Bisping gets hurt real bad in pretty much all of his fights, so it's gonna happen just by the odds.
