General UFC thread

Wrestlers have a ridiculous culture in the Olympics and various competitions of cutting ridiculous amounts of weight quickly by dehydration.

Might work when you're in late teens and early twenties but pushing 30 your body just doesn't react well any more.

Gutted the fight was cancelled.
 
Why isn't Joel Romero fighting for the belt?

I thought he was number 1 in line?

He should be but he doesn't draw and the new owners, WME, want to make MMA/UFC more like Boxing with the big drawing headliners.

Having said that I'm well excited for GSP to back in the UFC.

GSP along with Anderson Silva are who got me into MMA.

3 years is a LONG time in MMA.

I think GSP will be defeated on cardio as he wasn't very good with it when he was at the top!!

pretty much this.
In a way it is good. But its just not right. Theres a murderers row lining up at middleweight so theyre certainly not short of contenders. I personaly would of thought gsp vs todays winner would of been just as big of a fight as the bisping 1.

There's pro's and con's to them doing it.

I don't know if MMA fans will except the sport going like boxing though.

My issue is they complain about a lack of stars, but how are they suppose to get stars when they dont build them up. Who knows, maybe 5 years from now the likes of cody, yair, whittaker, ngannou ect could be the big headliners, but we'll never know when people like a 68 year old dan henderson gets a title shot because hes more of a draw than jacare
 
Was going to stay up for it but with the Khabib/Ferguson fight being pulled I'll watch it tomorrow. Hoping Wonderboy knocks that mouthy **** out though.

And as for people writing GSP off? He'll absolutely merk Bisping.

I think the biggest factor will just be how much bigger bisping looks.
Although gsp has been looking jacked in his recent pics.

I just think GSPs all around game is so much stronger. He hasn't just had 3 years sat on a beach somewhere. He pissed off, got all his injuries ironed out, then trained for 3 years. He's been wrestling guys Mark Hunt's size. Although admittingly biased because GSP got me into the sport I just think he's fitter, more explosive and will ground and pound Bisping's arse into the mat.

Plus Bisping is a Rag ****.

Will he cover his body in Vaseline so he can maintain that top control?

Yep I agree. My concern is that to create stars they'll start pitting those with potential against nobodies to easily beat like the boxing model.

Because he's a drug taking twat and apparently Dana White hates the wanker. Which is a bit rich as Dana White is an even bigger wanker.

Plus GSP's return gets money in the bank faster.
 
GSP in his prime I would be confident he could win.

3 years out I'm not sure it's a certainty plus Bisping is much bigger.

GSP is more technically proficient than Bisping so think he'll win on points.

You explained how I feel a lot better than I did, cheers ;-)
 
MMA has grown and evolved a lot since GSP last stepped into the octagon.. for example look at Womens mma and Ronda Rousey, they caught her up and took over her in the space of what a year?

Still back GSP to beat slugger Bisping though..But don't think he'd hold it vs any of the top5 contenders at middleweight(Romero/Rockhold/Souza/Weidmann/Mousasi)
 
That doesn't explain The Phenom, Lesnar, Siver, Jones, Mir etc.

Dana chooses whomever he gets along with, the crook.

Dana is the biggest crook in the business. He's the UFC's version of Don King. Best mates with McGregor, Rousey and Dominick Cruz who all got undeserved title shots.
