UFC 217 [11/4] "Back Like Jordan Wearing The 4-5...To Aim At You, Probably Maim You" (GSP/Bisping)

[Roman Brady]

This turned our to be a pretty wild night

Not a fan of Randy B but it felt good seeing him make that douche bleed.Without the hype and arrogance guess we know who the best from DWLFAF is.

I curse McCarthy for depriving us of seeing Hendricks go out. His suffering should have been more severe.

What's to be said about JJ. Its funny that during the pre fight stuff and even the weigh in I said to myself man she's reminding a lot of Ronda before she got humbled. And then bam! Weird fight..The division has officially been cheapened.

About the bantamweight fight, whether it's Cruz, Cody or TJ they all seem like a$$holes just to varying degrees so it's whatever. Now kuklux Kody can face aljermain sterling.

As for the main event, that was an early Christmas present. I don't really care about the implications of what GSP did all I care about is that arrogant coward lost his belt to a WW after running away from competition for dear life. Sseemed the theme of the night for villains was pride before the fall. And babyfaces was you can achieve it if you believe it..





Ps looks like GSP isn't going to rape ppl on the ground at MW, good to see "rush" after so long..

 

[Roman Brady]

Gsp gassed a lot though..won't survive upper level MW

Was getting worried that after completely outclassing bis in the 1st and demonstrating he was clearly the more skilled of the two all that was going to be undone by his cardio..I am sick of this gold star that's often given to white fighters that are technically poor but might have good cardio or can take a beating and then win. You know the platitudes "he's all guts and heart" "he's and iron man that never quits". Anything just to not say the guy looks out of his league. Well before GSP got tired and for the majority of the fight bisbing looked almost like an amateur. The great thing about this loss is he can't complain that it was to a drug cheat either

 

[Roman Brady]

don't embarrass yourself Woodley, you look pathetic

I really expected Bisping to retire if he lost to GSP. He’s had an amazing career, winningest fighter in the UFC, finally got the belt, beat some legends. He will headline the next UK card and retire.

Do you know how bad the optics would be if he announced his retirement after absconding from real contenders then losing to a WW?

 

[jackswstd]

Just finished it. Great performance by Rose, Joanna tapping to strikes was didn't see that happening. Like I said, Cody was too emotional and I knew it would cost him. TJ is very composed although at the beginning of the second he did get a bit wild, but he managed to get it together and land that head kick. TJ got revenge on Team Alpha Male. Didn't expect GSP to look as good as he did, he did gas a bit but after 4 years off and a new weight class it wasn't unexpected. I think he should fight Whitaker, he's not a huge MW and would be a good test for him. We'll see what happens.

 

[Roman Brady]

to be real I want to see all 3 title fights rematched immediately.

Lol. they can do it on the same card again if they want

Cody never even defended and how are you going to give bisbing a rematch he served himself not the sport/division? The only person that deserves it is JJ (who needs to atone for this embarrassing defeat). I don't even recall gender neutral person ever dropping anyone ever and she does that to arguably the best female striker in the game?

 

[Roman Brady]

i just realized GSP got the middleweight belt that Anderson Silva held during both their primes

really? Had there been a unification in the title's lineage since Silva lost it to have confused you or something?

 

[Kenny West]

@curz YALL MUSTA FORGOT!!!

How is Bispring totally beatable? Look at his record dude, you basically HAVE to finish him or he will dance and jab the fukk outta you and get a decision. Bispring aint new to this, he's true to this. Theres nothing "totally beatable" about guys like that. He also has probably the best chin in that division and hes on a pretty nice streak. This aint a easy fight for Yoel atall

 

[Roman Brady]

@curz YALL MUSTA FORGOT!!!

how is bisbing beatable? What a clown, It's because he's beatable that's why GSP picked him to return against. I will be surprised if he actually becomes a MW fighter. Will still hold on to my belief this was just a pissing contest to do what McGregor did..

 

[Kenny West]

Nah fukk that, feed Bisping to Yoel, that matchup is overdue.

You real.

It's time to pay what he owe. nikka doing all that ducking, using championship posturing "oh I don't think he's worthy" ass boi. fukk that.

Book that fight

Lol the post he replied to was echoing the same sentiment. Everyone was comfortable calling bisping out during his reign because he's a skilled yet very beatable opponent.


I expected Yoel or a MW scrub to cash in, who would have thought a dude already in retirement from a lower division would capitalize?

Cause it's all about ratings and storylines.

Me and the other fans would watch

That was the only person the coward would fight other than old man hendo and even he almost beat bisbing

There are no ratings in the ppv game just buys. What storyline is there that justifies Garbrant getting an instant rematch? He was finished and some say (foolishly I might add) that TJ never lost to Cruz in the 1st place. And you really think they are going to run this bisbing/gsp again after the fight had no buzz going in but now going out the actual draw won and it's was decisive? Come on dawg

I meant buys.

We can run all the back. I'm MMA ppl get caught and lose.

There's a revenge story with all of them and some.potentisl bad blood snd fukkery in the leadup

you need to fix that auto text breh it's making you seem drunk..yeah ppl get caught and lose but there needs to be variables that supports what you are saying, like # of defences or drawability. Cody had no defences and is an unknown in the other category. They aren't about to have anyone leapfrog Cruz (if he gets past whoever he's facing) TJ/Cruz 2 sells more than Garbrant/TJ 2 anyway.

@storyteller

That finish had Freddy Roach and the Death Squad's fingerprints combined on it. Whole night of shockers. NYC just got blessed with that one.
