I love Bisping.
He's as real as they come. He might not be the nicest guy in the world, but neither are half my friends.

I know Dan is a pro, but if I could witness an H-Bomb land on Sonnen's chin, it'd make my year.

Bisping's grown on me for sure. He strikes me as a moody type, maybe... capable of being your best friend one moment (like his friendliness on Sherdog) or being a dick (entire TUF season). Given that the being a dick part always comes with a microphone in his face, he's probably just doing what needs to be done to raise his profile and is closer to being a good guy than not.

Arrogant trash talking Brits... hate for these types tends to be unwarranted oft times.

Hendo is the man and could probably knock out a rhino, but he was absolutely demolished by the worse, tiny version of Sonnen in Jake Shields so its far from a given that he'd win. So yea, I guess I'm saying I could dig that fight.

The whole Brit thing is stupid. I see it, but I don't do it.

I didn't like Bisping, then I saw the h-bomb and bs after punch and honestly thought that'd end Bisping's career forever, so rooted hard for him against Kand and I think every other fight he's been in (except vs Wand). Then he did the illegal strike/spitting on Rivera thing and now I watch the Hendo/Bisping gif on the regular when I feel sad.

SDM · Post #906 » by **SDM** » Fri Jan 4, 2013 7:51 pm

I forgot about the spitting thing, yeah, that was dumb.

I'm more forgiving of illegal knees than I am of say, back of the head strikes, since you will be warned if you're going beyond the mohawk. I think it would be easy to forget there are specific rules when the only thing you're trying to do, boiled down to basics, is hurt your opponent and you're allowed to throw that strike anyway as long as you don't intend to hit the head. The guy's head is at your knee level and I think there's possibility for a momentary lapse especially if you smell blood.

I'm pretty sure Bisping as much as admitted it was itnentional. I don't recall the details, but I thought he was asked about it (or about how Dana didn't give him a bonus because of it or something) and Bisping didn't answer directly but said something along the lines of him being "an emotional guy" or something.

Darn you, and yer logic. 8-)

But yeah, either way, that'd be a great fight.

Sonnen couldn't muster up the cahones to insult white-american-military-all-around good guy Stann, so I fail to see how he could possibly run game on a former US olympic wrestler.

Chael, like most fans, are in awe of this man.

REDDzone · Post #910 » by **REDDzone** » Sun Jan 6, 2013 12:17 am

I wouldn't be surprised if Hendo kicked Chael's ass in practice on the regular tbh.

Hendo has taken every chance he gets to take both subtle and not so subtle shots at Chael. I remember him saying Chael didn't deserve a shot in a weird way, saying you can't believe things that Chael says, saying he would fight Chael, etc.

Meanwhile, Chael talks about Hendo being a hero of his and such.

This is me watching fights when I have money on them.

Sam guy who did a death stare to the people booing the Dodson vs Formiga fight.

That goon probably had no idea who the stare was from, but that night laying in bed when the suds wore off,
he must have dribbled.

Listened to the mmahour today. Vitor Belfort is an absolute nut. A crazy person. Calling himself various animals, various kings (?). etc.

But man, I hope he knocks Bisping's block off.

Post #915 » by **Headliner** » Wed Jan 9, 2013 2:19 pm

Not me.
I'm hoping for Bisping.

One of my faves, Alexis Vila, is dropping to 125 in hopes that he'll sign on with UFC. He was a tiny bantamweight and only went up to get decent fights. At 41, this could be a great move. I'd love to see someone with his stopping power at 125.

REDDzone · Post #917 » by **REDDzone** » Wed Jan 9, 2013 11:39 pm

I guess Bendo went on twitter saying he was pissed because Alvarez got offered a ton more money than he did. Said he makes 39k....I don't see where Alvarez offer is detailed. That would suck though.

Ronda/Alvarez >>>> Bendo

lol

That's pretty crappy if the UFC champion makes less money than a guy entering the UFC who couldn't even keep the belt around his waist in Bellator.

So insane.

I don't understand the mindset. Put aside the sheer evilness that it takes to do something like that, which is already crazy. What do you think you are going to do? Gang rape a chick that you know and who knows you, leave her on the sidewalk injured and then what? Just go home and go to sleep?

Just don't get it, man.
