I now dislike the GSP-Bisping fight even more, seeing how GSP could come back and likely take the belt from Woodley's cowardly rear end

I definitely think Conor can beat Woodley so that's cool

as someone who doesn't like tyron woodley as a person or a fighter at all i can say that y'all's hate of him to the point of blind irrationality is genuinely impressive

Well Woodley could easily double him across the cage I'm sure, but if he let's Conor control his movement (which is very likely imo) and play patty-cake against the cage he'll get lit up.

If you want to see Cain fight I suggest you buy the new UFC game.

Yeah that's why I said 'would', it's a fantastic matchup that'll probably never happen

That's actually pretty cool and completely changes my view of Kennedy.

He did it while still being vaguely condescending about trans-people and trying to make himself seem generous, but yeah it was surprisingly decent coming from him

hahahaha when was this? who was this?

That was when Jared "J-Rock" Rollins got pissed at War Machine, and kicked in his door and they got into it. That then lead to them having a FOTN at the season finale.

Also it's gonna be funny when Ben Rothwell comes back in four years at 40 years old and goes right back to being a top ten-ish heavyweight.

They would have to hunt him down, including locating the right hospital (which the camp were being vague about) and then find him in the hospital all the while he's getting it out of his system as quick as possible.

They could still summon him to be drug tested immediately or he'd be penalized

I'm starting to think interim titles are actually a valid thing. With the way the UFC is just ignoring rankings to sell fights, having 2 interim champions kinda means you can't not have a title unification bout.

Marching Powder posted:

honestly i don't have a problem with interim belts. it's become the ufc's way of saying 'look, i know the next guy to fight for the title isn't the first guy in line, but we PROMISE that the next fight will be legit'.

it's two birds one stone, ufc gets their vanity money fight and the championship in that division becomes very-much-disputed so they have to unify asap

This isn't true though. The Aldo-Edgar interim was supposed to unify the belt with Conor before he hosed off to 155, then he dropped the 145 belt while Aldo became Undisputed. Then the Holloway-Pettis interim title winner was supposed to unify the belt against Aldo, but they tried to give Jose a fight with Khabib (even though Khabib is a dipshit who ducked him to not fight Fergie). Interim belts are even more meaningless than the Undisputed belts

Bisping lost to Anderson mostly because Anderson sometimes turns into a loving idiot who abandons all his killer instincts to try winning using katas and wing chun

Anderson Silva vs Michael Bisping

The Silva and Bisping of today are different, if the same Bisping who used to lose to every top guy he fought had fought the Silva who ruled MW for the better part of a decade, Bisping would've been clowned on. Silva's reflexes and chin are nowhere what they used to be, and before Bisping teamed up with Parillo he never had fight-changing power

I vaguely remember during a fight Rogan talking about the tall thin body type being good for grappling, something about being able to find subs easier. I want to say it was someone (Tony Ferguson?) locking in a D'Arce choke.

They could buy Bellator tomorrow and bring any of the half-decent LHWs into the UFC and it would still be an absolute garbage fire and the worst division easily

MM beating Garbrandt to break Silva's record would be incredible

Garbrandt beating Dom, TJ and MM in a row would also be amazing and would make him the current P4P best imo
