Tbh I want rose to take on the other polish chick Karolina if it's not an immediate rematch with JJ. Karolina is very easy on the eyes and is tough as hell

back to trusting the process!

really good card, very happy for Rose. TJ must of had a volcano of emotions after all the trash talk from Codys camp.

George looked good considering the layoff, i dont think he will hold the belt for very long though.

What will george do next... considering dana said ppv did over 1 mil buys it's really up to him next and ufc can't push for a unification bout vs Whitaker.



back to trusting the process!

But this time Rose is just 25, she can still improve.


You never know, but probably nothing as bad as Rousey. Joanna is still a legit fighter. Ronda was an over-hyped judoka who got creamed when she met a real boxer


But Miesha, who lost to Ronda twice, beat Holly, the boxer, via chokeout.

Match-ups. The one thing Miesha was not likely to do vs. Ronda was choke her out like she did with Holly and she only got Holly at the end when the fight was slipping away. That's fighting. Nothing is certain.

Just watched Rose-JJ fight again. That was a fantastic left hook by Rose. It smoked Joanna.

I hated Rose ever since her TUF days... couldn't stand her attitude. Sucks she beat Joanna... hopefully there's a rematch asap tho.

Rest of the night was great... Wonderboy, OSP, TJ, and GSP with the wins. Epic fuggin night.

GSP got beat up while he had a full mount on Bisping. I didn't think GSP looked that good at all. Bisping got careless and waited too long after they got up off the ground to follow up on the excellent work he did on his back.

But still got to give GSP credit. He won fair and square. Just like Matt Serra did against him.

I don't see him holding on to the belt for long.

Why the hate for Rose. She acted like a professional while JJ acted like a punk, as usual. JJ's a great fighter and talent, but she gets too carried away with the things she says leading up to the fight.

Her demeanor was great. I like her and she won impressively. Joanna is the one who has the attitude problems. Rose was a total pro.

I agree. I didn't expect Bisping to have much of a reign anyway. Rockhold was his great moment that really came at what will soon be the end of a pretty long MMA career.

The fight was for me watching two veterans clash, neither at their peak. And it still could have gone either way to my eye. If he didn't catch Michael at that moment I definitely saw GSP hitting on the threshold of gassing out at least some within the following round. So GSP caught him before the tides turned so good on him.

GSP may have a few fights left in him. He's back for the bigger paydays and I don't blame him for doing it.

I agree if GSP doesn't get it in round 3, he will probably be doomed by a gas tank in Bisping. That's the attractiveness of the combat sports that things can go so different and random sometimes.

You guys don't' think GSP looked great??? This is easily one of his best performances ever... Bisbing is a lot bigger than GSP used to be, and this was a huge challenge for him. He put on a ton of weight which definitely lowered his cardio, but GSP was always great in that regard and wasn't in danger of gassing out completely the next round imo.

He straight up manhandled The Count (Serra just got lucky and clipped him.. evidenced by their rematch)... don't give him too much credit for opening up GSP on the ground tho... he's notorious for getting busted open and bruised easily. Also don't think he's back just for the $... PED's were a big part of the reason he left... things are getting cleaned up now tho.
