Just seen Bisping get KO'd , what an awful gameplan from Bisping, done absolutely nothing and played right into Hendo's hands. Awesome punch, second one was needless.

you know, i don't think bisping in any of his UFC fights has actually looked anywhere near as good as he did in the TUF series, iirc he's been lucky to win a couple of matches by (contentious) split decisions.

Just looking at him last night, it looked a complete mis match.

He only cares about the dollar. Brock imo was well within his rights to stick it to the idiots in the crowd and Mir who acted like an utter fool in the build up to this match. Who is going to be able to take Brock? Maybe Gonzaga? Big guy with ADCC level BJJ?

TUF is a whole lot lower skill level then fighting in the UFC proper. Hendo is a great fighter. Makes what Anderson did to him look even more impressive.

Perhaps, but I doubt it. I reckon a powerful striker would be a better bet; Mir stopped Lesnar in his tracks for a moment in the second round, perhaps he could be got at. I can only think that Fedor would fit the bill. Of course, he is not a UFC fighter.

I think Cain Velasquez if he keeps on his way could provide Brock with a bit of trouble, he's a couple fights off though yet I reckon. Thing is with Brock he's so big and dominant on the ground that once he's on top he's difficult to shift, there arn't many fighters around that can match him for power, but Velasquez is a top wrestler with excellent technique, he's also got some power of his own.

I'd like to see a striker have a go aswell.

What's everybody's fave weight division and fighter?

I fancy Werdum could give Brock a run for his money.

The Bisping KO was brutal. Ricky Hatton, Michael Bisping, who's the next Brit to get KTFO?

David Haye will do us proud

Cain Velasquez is a smaller version of Lesner. Lesner would take him down and club him to death like he has in his previous 3 fights.
