GOD DAMMIT

Bisping replaces Weidman

[elemento]

Bisping is garbage. Not even sure why he is getting a shot here.

Because Chris Weidman was injured. :rolleyes

I wish it was Jacare tbh, bit it seems that he is hurt too. He will get his change though.

No, that's not ok. Jacare just fought. I don't want to see a title fight when another man just fought a top 5 guy less than 60 days prior. Let Souza get rested to make a go at it.

I agree, but if Jacare was fully healthy, I'm positive he would fight regardless such a few days to rest.

In the end, I prefer a title fight with no excuses.

Weidman is turning into Cain with all these injuries. And Neck injuries are always trouble..

The main event for me went from must see to a complete and total dud. I want to see Cruz/Faber though. Cruz's comeback is the most amazing ever in this sport..

Yep. Outside of Frankie, Cruz is probably my favorite fighter.

I have a feeling we'll see two surprises.

1) Faber being more resourceful than expected

2) Cruz knocking him the fuck out

[txstr1986]

Luke Rockhold vs. Michael Bisping for the middleweight championship – former champ Chris Weidman said it best earlier this week, he’s given Rockhold yet another gift, this time it’s Bisping on a silver platter. Bisping has been a great fighter to watch over the past decade, and has given fans some of the best trash talk in the UFC. While he definilty deserves the title shot, he really has nothing to offer Rockhold in the way of competition. Rockhold is just too skilled, too big, and too fast. This should be a short one, and I agree with Rockhold’s own prediction of a first round knock out.

Dominick Cruz vs. Urijah Faber for the bantamweight championship – the rubber match! This fight should be much more competitive than the headliner, but I still have a hard time seeing Faber’s path to victory. While Cruz doesn’t have the power to stop Faber, he is the more complete fighter. However, because Cruz will not be able to end Faber, the California Kid will have 25 minutes to find an opening against the champ, which means he has a decent shot at taking the belt. I just have a hard time seeing it happening.

Max Holloway vs. Ricardo Lamas – two very skilled fighters tee off in what should be the closest fight on the main card. However, I believe that Holloway’s length and boxing will give Lamas trouble. If Lamas can make this an ugly fight he has a real shot, but I don’t see it happening. Holloway out points him on the way to a decision victory.

Dan Henderson vs. Hector Lombard – after going 2-6 over his last 8 fights, Hendo looks like he should hang them up. But the man is a legend, and that overhand right is still one of the scariest weapons in combat sports. Lombard has a tendency to start strong, but then gas by the second round, so if Hendo can weather the opening storm, he should be able to walk away with his hand raised. Hendo with the second round TKO.

Dustin Poirier vs. Bobby Green – Poirier has looked amazing at 155 pounds, but he has a tough test here against a very quick and slick Green. Green likes to make his opponents miss, but frequently doesn’t follow up those slips with offense of his own. For that reason, I think that Poirier’s constant offense will earn him the decision.

[ace3g]

Brian Ortega started tapping the knee button and landed about 4-5 knees at the end of the 3rd, the final one KO Guida!!! And he needed everyone one of those because he was down in the fight!!!

[01Snake]

HENDO!! Holy fuck!!

[ace3g]

both Hendo and Lombard showed heart and chin; Hendo with good awareness that elbow chance was there and took it!!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol Bisping

[ace3g]

Bisping ego meter off the charts right now

[01Snake]

Luke came in a tab bit overconfident. haha

[dbreiden83080]

Michael Bisping is the UFC MW champ of the world. Uh yeah.. Well Luke may have a few problems with that chin. And uh yeah LOL.. Bisping like WTF??

[ace3g]

Hendo probably calling Dana right now: "I want Bisping next!!!"

[dbreiden83080]

Cruz looked great and Faber looked horrible. I can't get over that main event. Luke will never live that one down. Weidman is smiling ear to ear right now. Get that neck healthy man and get back in there..

Whoa! This is CRAZY! http://fb.me/4IXhu1TMS (https://t.co/m3ztIlvbzQ)


I saw the original tweet from Ariel, I guess Dana didn't like the tweet breaking the Brock news before the promo hit.

[DJR210]

Just saw the news.. WTF.. Didn't see this one coming at all..

Opponent?? What are Overeem and Velasquez doing these days? Brock needs his revenge just like he got w/ Mir

[thiste]

Thought UFC199 was tonight, my bad so I just watched it.

Well, there is such a thing as overconfidence in this sport. Rockhold did literally nothing in this fight except looking down upon Bisping and getting KOd. Bisping fought his fight and made shit happen. This is why this sport is awesome.

Rockhold and Weidman are still the better fighters, but they definitely should bring the ego down a little.

Good fights.

btw, I don't think Lesnar should fight the top heavyweights for his return, he'd get destroyed. Give him a middle of the pack fan favorite like a Bigfoot or someone like that. He might still lose...

[Cry Havoc]

Fucking hilarious that Bisping passed Frankie in the P4P rankings. They should rename those to "recency bias" rankings.

If there is a guy kicking himself beyond belief right now it is Weidman. Bad neck injury for sure, but if he makes it to that fight reasonably healthy he wins. Luke just completely had his head up his ass when it came to anyone threatening him that night.

He didn't seem to have learned at the post fight press conference either. I think DC and Cain ought to have a serious talk with him.
