Has romero ever had a five round fight? He can definitely put Bisping to sleep but his cardio is just so suspect. It will be an extremely interesting fight, much more so than waiting till November for GSP and Bisping

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.

machida vs romero was 5 rounds. it only took him 3 rounds to retire the old karate fighter though

yoel romero will for sure gas but he will also cheat his way to a much needed break in the middle of the fight and he will knock out bisping

It's no longer a blue world, Max. Where could we go?



The current mw top 5 is Romero, Rockhold, Whittaker, Mousasi and Jacare, and I don't think I'd pick Bisping to beat any of them more than 3 times out of 10.

The bottom of the top 10 is Weidman, Silva, Brunson, Jotko and somehow Vitor. I think at this point in their careers I'd consistently favor Bisping over Anderson and deflated Vitor, and maybe he'd beat Jotko 5 or 6 times out of 10. He only beats Weidman consistently if Weidman really is outright done at this point and Brunson could probably have the same kind of fight vs Bisping he did with Silva and win more often than not.

Just my hot takes when considering Bisping's future as a champion

I think Brunson is super overrated. Skill wise I don't think he's any better than like Mark Munoz. Bisping beats him handily. Otherwise yeah One Eye will not reign for long.

Aw man, I like Joachim. Met him flying out of PDX after he lost at FN96 because I was seated with his corner guys. Super nice team.

But he's fighting a Dagestani dude on a 13 fight win streak. :ohdear:

I can't and won't argue about him being overrated, I just mean his stalling tactics seem more likely to work against Bisping who is going to be less threatening or capable in the clinch than Anderson. It's kind of how Chael won, and a different panel of judges easily could have given Brunson the Silva win as well.

Miesha Tate wasn't good but she was tenacious and tough and always in entertaining fights. Sucks that she retired but I'm really happy she got a big gold belt before she did.

:edi:

That is a bad injury for a fighter who isn't making bank to come back from. Sucks for Joe.

As far as the GSP vs Bisping that Dana White press release is really odd. You'd think Dana would have taken all the shots in the world at GSP if he had tested positive after the noise GSP made about testing while he was still active. And they would have just said if it was an injury concern. It probably had something to do with money.

ufc wants bisping and gsp to fight before november since they will make less money overall if they have a bunch of weak PPVs leading up to whatever November/December card they wanna fight each other on.

Yoel isn't slow, he just spends lots of time doing nothing and then explodes into some ridiculous offense.

GSP either made a last minute play for more money, hurt himself, or just got scared. When you compound one of these with the fact that he's on steroids, it makes perfect sense. It's better for the division this way anyways so you can't get too mad.
