I'm always interested in seeing how much hair Hendricks has lost since his previous fight.

I mean, talking about UFOs is almost definitely a symptom of CTE but without a diagnosis it's just speculation at this point; Mark Hunt was actually admitting he has symptoms of CTE.
Not defending pulling Hunt while others still get to go out there and get drilled into the canvas but I see why they did it.

More like one is a guy talking about brain damage and possibly suing UFC for allowing him to get brain damage against dudes on PEDs multiple times, the other guy is who they've built a MSG card around and hope to get a giant buyrate out of. If GSP was a Fight Night guy, he would have been taken off the card.

McGregor won't fight in the UFC again without a promoter's stake. Surprise surprise.

He'll get it, too.

Here's the actual video where he talks about it.



"We're in the contract negotiation stage," McGregor said. "It's got to, they've got to entice me now because, I came from a billion-dollar fight. I want equity, I want pay-per-view. I want to be a true partner. You have to entice me now. I want to be a partner. I want to be a promoter and I want to be a fighter for me to continue."

That Mayweather money changes everything now in terms of negotiations. Hopefully there's a trickle down effect to where other top fighters get their due pay

I still can't get behind the idea that Bisping is a legitimate threat. He squeaked out wins over Anderson and Dan Henderson who are both well past washed up. His only notable win is a fluke punch over Rockhold in years.
GSP could be old, slow, and small but it might still be enough to beat Bisping

Holy shit, that's awesome.

I don't think anyone seriously thinks Bisping is a legitimate threat to the best MWs out there, and I think Rockhold beats Bisping 95 times out of 100, and I think it could be argued that Hendo won his fight, but what path to victory to you see GSP taking in this fight?

I would venture to say this fight could look like Sonnen/Bisping or Kennedy/Bisping. Traditional GSP jab/takedown fest

Man, I'm not sure I'm ready to watch GSP get KO'd by Bisping. But here we (probably) are.

The Sonnen fight really could've gone either way, but I totally forgot the Kennedy fight even happened. I could see GSP pulling off something similar.

I'm only able to find nosebleed seats.

Nobody I have asked wants to see a fight card from that far away.

Sonnen is a lot bigger and stronger guy than GSP. Also Sonnen wasn't coming off a 4 year layoff.

I think Bisping is gonna keep it on the feet and light GSP up.


On the co-main event podcast this week they were speculating GSP has brought in a lot of BJJ training partners, and that he might go for a takedown and try to submit Bisping quick.


Whoever wins though, I'm pretty confident Bobby Knuckles is gonna destroy either one.

Seriously.

I can picture GSP fighting Bisping and having a favorable outcome or at least losing gracefully and with his brain intact.

I could never picture him stepping into the ring against Romero, Whittaker, Rockhold or Jacare and not getting KTFO.

GSP has done several promotions with Nintendo (ARMS and Mario Kart earlier this year). Wonder if they're like an actual sponsor.

This is probably happening again on Saturday.

Most likely, but it's still an interesting fight. On paper, Dillashaw is so similar to Cruz that you'd think it'll be a similar outcome to the Cruz/Garbrandt fight (maybe with an actual KO this time if Garbrandt stops screwing around), but Ludwig is such a smart trainer. I sure as hell didn't expect Dillashaw to dominate the fuck out of Barao, so who knows what'll happen?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say TJ takes this one. Also putting the house on Bisping to KO a muscle gut having, ring rusted, GSP

Everyone made weight? Including Hendricks?? Awaiting to wake up from this dream any second now!

This event should be a blast, can't wait. Also hoping for my fellow Dún na nGall man Joe Duffy to make a big impression against James Vick.

I am surprised so many of you are counting out GSP. Whenever GSP is fighting to prove himself he becomes dominate. My money is on GSP.

I'll believe GSP has the gas for a title fight when I see it.

4 years is a long fucking time and it's not like he looked that great in his last fight. I just hope he doesn't get completely destroyed.
