Hendricks will lose bad. He's finished.

It's sad to see a fighter go past their prime. They all do. Their heart tells them they can still do it but their body isn't there anymore. They all go through it. Fighting takes a toll. St-Pierre is going to be humiliated and beaten badly. He should just go down in history and take his place in the hall of fame but he thinks he can still do it. It's going to be ugly. It's not an age thing. It's an odometer thing. He has to many battles under his belt.

No offense but your logic is flawed. GSP has been in far fewer fights than Bisping. And GSP is younger.

Like I said age doesn't have anything to do with it. It has to do with how many wars they have been in. GSP has been fighting at a high level a lot longer than Bisping.

He's never been the same after USADA started testing. Still remember when his kicked St:Pierre's ass.

I'm pretty sure we can still use the odometre argument for Bisping. He is older and has the most UFC wins in history. He is two years older than St-Pierre. St-Pierre has been training hard for the past four years, but not taking beatings in UFC fights. That could be a plus or a minus. I would bet money on St-Pierre. I don't necessarily consider it to be an easy fight for him - I think it is a pretty good match-up.
Sad about John Hendricks though - at the end of his fight with St-Pierre at UFC 167, GSP, upon being announced winner, said to Hendricks "You gave me my toughest fight." It's hard to hear, but if you pay attention to St-Pierre closely, you can hear him say it. That was a nice thing for GSP to do, to console the loser of the fight like that. Although many would argue that Hendricks won.
-
I have a feeling tj will get blown out and rose/jj will be closer than anyone expects. Regardless, I hope tj and bisping do well.
-
I really hope Cody wins. I truly believe tj is a snake. I'm rooting for gsp too. I think Cody WILL win not sure about gsp though
-
Bisping - that fight against Henderson aged him 10 years. ;D

Hmm? If it aged Bisping 10 years, why would you be so confident he will win? I found it interesting that both him and GSP weighed in at the same weight - 184.5-lb.
-
I remember hearing on a podcast that GSP was considering going down in weight to 155 at one point. I dont see him doing well against Bisping who is bigger and a tough veteran. Especially after a long layoff. I wonder if GSP picked Bisping himself? He surely could fight Woodley for the 170 belt I would think. Dont know why he isn't...

It's just a comment, never said anything about him winning. Ring rust is real though and so is drug testing so GSP may not be the same. Obviously GSP's wrestling is top notch so have to see where fight goes standing or on mat.

He thinks Bisping will be easier, I suspect. Also, if he beats Bisping, he would become a multi-belt winner. I believe that would make him the fourth in UFC history. I also believe that Bisping only after his fight with Henderson II, beat GSP's record of most UFC wins. So GSP would then tie Bisping and be once again the record-holder, albeit a tie.
After a Bisping win, GSP could fight McGregor in a catch-weight big money fight. Or he could go down to 155 and legitimately claim the 155 title to, which would make him a 3-class belt winner - something never before seen in UFC history.
Funny how they both weighed in at 184.5, with Bisping being 2.5" taller, and everyone saying Bisping is so much bigger. GSP will be around 195 for the fight later today, and Bisping will be, what, 205 or so? I'm just curious, but wouldn't it just be a 10-lb weight disparity? If you adjust for height, it's not like the actual muscle or weight per inch of height is much different. Also, why is sheer body weight so important? I understand that body weight itself does help, but does strength mean absolutely nothing? As far as I am aware, GSP is stronger than Bisping, even if only positionally stronger - that being, knows how to use angles to his advantage.

Great post, SOMEPARTS. I read this earlier, but was surprised to see I had not replied. I think a lot of Getbig comprises reading and appreciating, but not joining in the discussion. It sometimes makes good posts like yours not get the credit that they deserve.

gsp looked really ordinary, i can see him getting knocked out by a better striker

Commentators disappoint me.
Anybody watching that fight could see that GSP was running out of gas. Yeah, he won, but the "amazing performance" shit.. come on, he was very close to being utterly gassed and out of the fight. Bisping.. I've never liked to watch, but the dude was going to win the marathon, no doubt.
But instead, GSP gets in a good hit and that's it.
Now they build up GSP to be immortal and sell more PPVs based on exaggeration.
This is why a lot of people, including myself have tired of watching fighting. Because the fact is, it's 90% based on exaggeration. It's a game of very fine margins and to make out like these people are unbeatable is most often just bullshit. It doesn't pay to tell the truth that Bisping could well have won in the later rounds.
-
How did he win? Ko?
-
GSP is back but you can see where the sport has evolved. He had problems keeping Bisping on the ground and when he did Bisping cut his face up. I remember the days where GSP would take someone down, hold him there easily all fight and just pound away. Good for GSP that he landed the big hook, and had Bisping out. Rounds 4 and 5 may have been ugly.
-

Left hook, dropped, ground and pound, choked.

Awesome, Bisping was a dick the entire time leading up to the fight and he was just trying to hard to talk shit, trying to emulate Mcgregor , but it just came off as annoying more than anything, theres an art to talking shit, in this fight he just tried to hard. Should be interesting to see how he handles this loss, his next podcast should be very interesting/humiliating for him.
-
If I was a betting man, I would have put it all on GSP, without hesitation.
There would be no point in bringing him back, if he lost in his first fight.
Now he is the champion......
Hope you didn't pay for that.

I agree about GSP running out of gas, but based on that flurry of strikes just before the choke, it was clear he got a second wind. If I had to guess, GSP would have found a way to go the distance and win by decision, had it not ended the way it did. GSP was winning the fight even while, as you said, he looked like he was running out of gas.
I also think you could really see the disparity in body weight in this fight. I felt that while GSP was successful with his takedowns, you could tell he was taking down a heavier man. I could sense that GSP was doing things that a welterweight fighter would not have had the body weight to as easily defend. Body weight helps in fights! I used to think it was all that matters, then thought it barely mattered at all - but yes, it matters quite a bit.
PS - GSP's face was really busted up [picture attached below]. :-[ What an amazing champion.
How did he win? Ko?
Technical submission [read-naked choke], He choked out Bisping after laying waste to him with a series of strikes.

Bisping was the underdog
Doesn't matter. Bisping lost before entering the octagon.
I really used to love MMA, but with the mafia ties with Pride, the utter shit that Bellator puts out, and the growing sentiment that hype (Not the results) sells fights, I am worried about the integrity of the sport.
You start to ask yourself: Is MMA really that much harder to choreograph than professional wrestling? We all saw it on display in the McGregor vs. Mayweather fiasco.
Boxing has long been accused of being corrupt as well. When push comes to punch, are the consumers being lied to?

I'm pleased by the result of Bisping and GSP.

I agree and I think back in the day you couldn't bet on UFC, like when Shamrock and Gracie, etc.. there wasn't Vegas odds on those fights, once Vegas gets involved it messes with the integrity of the sport. I will say this, Vegas lost a lot tonight, I'm sure tons of people took Bisping, Cody, and Joanna.

Uncle Dana..

GSP...

With Conor asking for a lot..

Normal people may have. But insiders bet heavily towards the people they knew would win.
Stocks, and gambling are geared towards rich people with connections. Sure, you can get some average Joe's, who get lucky, but it's only insiders that truly benefit.
-
GSP was too heavy here. You could see his energy drop off quick early on. He wisely capitalized when Bisping went down and elbowed the shit out of him before getting the rear naked choke. If not for that, it wasn't looking good. Fair play though, he had 4 years off and went up in weight and won. He kept composed even while busted open and partially gassed out.

Conor won't be fighting for a long time, he thinks he's the shit and won't fight unless his promotion company get a piece of everything. They need to start marketing Nate Diaz, that dudes a savage, doesn't give two fucks about anything!

Pretty good fight. GSP is a beast wrestler. The fear of the takedown totally changed Bisping fight plan in the cage. Er...uh...DA CAGE!

That was definitely noticeable. Yet these beastly heavyweights are 265-lb, and some of them have quite good stamina. I guess GSP was just not intended to be a big man. Compare him to Brock Lesnar who moves around like a featherweight, despite being, what, 80+ pounds heavier in contest? It's really quite the remarkable feat.

He recovered fine. Just nervous energy dump....he wasn't totally gassed.

The Ccunt Bisping lost . After ducking other fighters he thought he had easy win in the bag.
Rose is a sexy bitch . This is a funny vid.

GSP looks slow and old compared to his former self, I think retiring again could be on the cards, although Whitaker looks to be an option, dropping to welter I don't see this version of him being competitive with Woodley, who bores me to death, but like Rashad previously, wrestlers with a good punch are very effective especially when they don't take any risks. He will be tough to beat with his conservative boring style.
I think whitaker beats GSP as well but if he fights again that looks to be the easier fight, in saying that he just got beat up and gased out against Bisping, if he hadn't landed that punch, I think GSP could easily have lost, as Bispings clearly superior cardio took over.

That deserves its own thread. Once again, the UFC tried to pretend the women's division was on par in terms of quality and excitement as the men's division, yet their new supposedly untouchable female champion tapped out to strikes in the very first round. It really makes me think that the talent pool in the women's division is very thin due to far fewer women expressing an interest in it than due males [naturally - none should be surprised about this trend].
So what you have is a situation where some of the women are legitimately at the pro level, and others who are not near that level, then you end up getting streaks that end abruptly as soon as the "untouchable" champion women [Rhonda Rousey, Joanna Jędrzejczyk, or whoever else] bumps into another woman in the Octagon who is at her level.
For those reasons, I have a very hard time believing the women's division comprises sufficiently to be in the UFC. Also, here is the better looking Polish combat sportswoman as far as I am concerned:

Not sure if you are watching The Ultimate Fighter tv series but the talent pool there is pretty weak. They are using it to establish a new women's 125lb flyweight division. W/L records not spectacular and a number of has-beens.
At this point even the mens division is not looking great and its no wonder they sold it. WME-IMG has been cutting payroll from $55 million pay to $27m. Also significant talent has moved to Bellator. This was the first decent card in some time. USADA is not helping matters.
-
Some of you guys are not on this planet. Gsp was quicker and more accurate in the standup, bisping is one of the best strikers in the UFC. Gsp was stronger and able to take him down at will. Bisping has a great active guard but your still loosing from that position. He checked him standing, wrestling and finally submission. My money was on bisping, not because of age and all that crap but because he is actively fighting and the top level constantly with no time off. GSP came in with zero ring rust and looked as good as ever. Looking gassed means nothing, you can't tell how much someone has left by how they look.

Interesting - but not surprising at all, regarding the women's division. I don't get the sense that the UFC is trying to bring women on board as some diversity push or anything, but has gender divisions for the same reason the Olympic games do - namely because women wouldn't stand a chance if they had to compete in the men's division. ;D And I suppose commercially there is enough interest in the women's division, so hey.
Is it just me, or has the UFC been a little less entertaining in 2017 compared to 2016? Does Conor McGregor have something to do with that? Because it seems to me the fight quality is not the same, but maybe I just haven't bought a pay-per-view in a while to really get a sense of where the quality has been this year. I did buy more pay-per-views in 2016, so maybe that's why I liked it more - I just saw more, so by implication, saw more good fights.
As you said, USADA has changed everything - I suppose a lot of the fighters were on steroids. My friend even says that is why GSP left, because he was worried USADA would come around and destroy his legacy as they destroyed Lance Armstrong's legacy. Could you imagine having to live with that? On the other hand, if GSP did use steroids, he needs to live with that - knowing some people would consider him a fake. Not me though - as steroids are in every sport. But with USADA, they have been in the UFC a heck of a lot less it seems.
Speaking of which, did you catch Johny's Hendricks' fight? Do you think that will be his last? I don't want to see him go out the way Josh Koscheck did, on six losses in a row. That must be a terrible thing for a fighter to have to face - especially one as previously dominant as Hendricks was. I think many of us remember his fight against GSP in UFC 167.
Some of you guys are not on this planet. Gsp was quicker and more accurate in the standup, bisping is one of the best strikers in the UFC. Gsp was stronger and able to take him down at will. Bisping has a great active guard but your still loosing from that position. He checked him standing, wrestling and finally submission. My money was on bisping, not because of age and all that crap but because he is actively fighting and the top level constantly with no time off. GSP came in with zero ring rust and looked as good as ever. Looking gassed means nothing, you can't tell how much someone has left by how they look.
Also consider that the last fight that did not go the distance with GSP prior to the doctor stoppage in GSP vs. BJ Penn II would have been his fight against Matt Serra when he finished him in the second round from knees to the body. That was April 19th, 2008. In other words, Bisping lasted far less time with GSP than did most welterweights. So either Bisping is washed up [which I seem to doubt] or GSP has come in much, much better. I would tend to believe it was this latter quality.
He reminds me of Canada's current 7x strongest man Jean Francois Caron - I believe he cracked the top five at World's again this year. He just keeps improving and keeps improving. What's with these French Canadians? ;D

To be honest, I'm remarkably quiet in person. I don't have very much to say unless people bring up the subject, and I find that in person, people tend not to be as vocal as they are online. Since my commentary tends to be responsive or reactive, it's hard for me to speak a lot when I have nothing to respond to. People don't bring up the depth and breadth of topics as they tend to in message boards or in writing, so I am quiet as a result. When I do speak a lot, it tends to be rich in facts and specific details, so yes, people listen to me. They do not consider me to be senseless. Quite the opposite, when people's marriages and lives fall apart, they tend to speak to me. I hate that I haven't been able to give all of them as much time and attention as I do to some posts here on Getbig. :-\
That answers your question for your purposes - the following is what I would add only for people who are interested in what I have to say, with this being my judgment on my own posts, and their length:
As to my post above, it is long, but it is on-topic, specific commentary. For example, the point about Bisping lasting less time with Georges St-Pierre than literally almost a decade's worth of welterweights...does that indicate that either Bisping is less than his best, or perhaps more likely, as GSP has said repeatedly [and I trust him as a pretty objective judge of himself] that GSP himself is at his lifetime best?
Yes, I'm long-winded, but I have a lot of relevant facts in my posts. I follow both the UFC and bodybuilding with great interest, and I believe my comments come from the position, at the very least, of an educated fan. What exactly is senseless about objectively reporting on GSP's fight history and speculating on the reason for the outcome in his most recent fight? I have quite enjoyed the posts of others regarding their speculation regarding GSP, as I too got the sense his gas tank was dwindling into the third round, before his massive flurry. It's like he caught a second wind.
Back to cephissus' post about me - I am not forcing anyone to read what I have to say. Anyone is free to just skip over it and not read it. I'm not going to stop posting as long as I know that I am making quality posts, devoid of profanity, personal attacks, and spelling errors - or at least, mostly devoid of those things.
I have had waaaayyy too many people, including professional bodybuilders and others in the industry, tell me that they have read my posts with great interest for me to stop posting as I do. But my posts are not for everyone - they are obviously very long!! But on that note, once again, I am not forcing anyone to read my posts.
Basically I have a compulsive desire to speak in full points. I always feel the need to make what I say absolutely clear - the irony is, I would get more readers if I made smaller posts. I think. Things need to be made digestible to the masses, and I basically never do that.

Could you say that Getbig is an outlet for you?
A place where you can open your mind and heart, unlike Lakehead U?

do you think they dont know prior to the tests,
Why would Dana want his athletes flailing around looking like shit?
In fact why test at all?

I think that the Athletic Commisions needed to have the UFC get USADA involved because it was already a controversial sport. And you can't have guys with dangerous skills all roided up. They wear those tiny gloves. Eventually somebody was going to get hurt badly.

if they were that bothered about people getting hurt they would start banning fighters from hitting an unconscious opponent, these refs diving in like fucking idiots is ridiculous.

They have lost a couple major names because of the testing. Bones Jones failed a test. He's done forever the greatest p4p because of failed tests.

Already back when Thug Rose fought Paige, Dana looked like he hanged himself.

I suggest you go back and watch his earlier fights, he was slow predictable in comparison and Michael bisping is nothing but a journeyman with a belt. Yeah bisping is tough and durable but most successful journeymen are.
The old GSP could level change, shoot, strike without any signal, its what made him so hard to fight. He looked composed and measured distance very well Saturday but he telegraphed everything, no way hes taking down Romero, Jacaare, Weidman, Whittaker maybe but he's getting straight back up where he does. His first fight back after 4 years out but he needs to improve to beat anyone other than Bisping who was definitely the easiest fight for him.
