He's out of favor atm, but Mousasi as well.

LOL idk if this is true, but I read on sherdog that Vitor said this is Portuguese:

Vitor: "Tonight have a secondary event between two old friends of my left leg"

That fight looked over before it started. Bisping was the little mouse scurrying about and Rockhold the big cat. It was only a matter of time before he was caught. Too much reach, diversity, and power. The COUNTdown commenced at the opening bell. Hell, it commenced when he signed to fight a top 10 opponent. Maybe nobody in history have we seen who there is more of a clear line delineating who can beat and can't. If you're legit top 10-15, he's just always going to come up short.

I think we should see the Jacare/Rockhold rematch. Make Rockhold validate a win he probably shouldn't have. Otherwise he has that mark for me and the ViToRT one. I think Jacare would out-perform him again. Jacare has the size, speed, aggression, to break his rhythm. The unorthodox striking to fight from angles as Rockhold moves subtly but not enough laterally. And the elite tdd's and bjj to get the fight to the ground here or there, do some damage, possibly get a sub himself, and avoid them coming the other way. The destiny of the Jacare-Weidman match-up cannot be stopped.

Then Romero and Machida should square off. That sounds like a fun match-up to me to, which I think Machida would take because of his ability to fight off rhythm. That's what I think will be a theme in these group of mw fights.

Glad to see Rockhold finish Bisping! Did not expect Iaquinta to beat Pearson, and he finished him. :o
