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...
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.
