    Some guy coming out of Legacy who is 6-0 as a pro winning all his fights via 1st round TKO. He's fought a couple of times in Bellator too.

    11 months ago I posted the below:
    7 UFC champions dethroned in 2015 alone:

    Aldo by McGregor
    Velasquez by Werdum
    Pettis by dos Anjos
    Rousey by Holm
    Weidman by Rockhold
    Esparza by Jedrzejczyk
    Jones by himself

    It was a crazy year in MMA. However, in 2016 we have had 8 belt changes with 4 title fights still to come between now and the end of the year.

    Miocic over Werdum
    Bisping over Rockhold
    Woodley over Lawler
    Alvarez over dos Anjos
    McGregor over Alvarez
    Cruz over Dillashaw
    Tate over Holm
    Nunes over Tate

    What a mental sport. :cool:

    I know, but the time should be the same.
    I didn't notice John Kavanagh was there last week, that might have added to the confusion

    Am I crazy to think that Bisping can beat Romero? out of Weidman, Rockhold,
    Jacare and himself I really see Romero as the best match-up for him. Going on Bispings heart/chin/cardio If he can survive the first two rounds he's the perfect fighter to drag Romero into the later rounds and outpoint him or get a late finish. It'll no doubt be his toughest fight of the run yet but the win is definitely there for him imo.

    I would agree with this. Maybe if Bisping survives the 3rd round explosive KO attempt also.

    Was thinking yesterday that if I were Bisping I would be sh1tting myself in the face of such an opponent but Bisping probably has the biggest balls in that whole division.

    I absolutely agree. Of all the top contenders, Romero is far and away the best match up out there for Bisping.

    Ya I see bisping winning too to be honest. Definitely his best match up out of all the guys in the division. He will drive Romero mental in the run up aswell, can't wait for that.

    Don't see the optimism with Bisping! Not seeing how Yoel is a good matchup, in terms of cardio and it being a five round fight maybe. But we don't really know what Yoel's cardio is like in R4-5, people say he has no gas tank but he' consistently KO'ing guys in round 3!

    I don't see Mike making it to R4 or 5 in good enough shape to win anyway though. Yoel could take him down very easily as we're all aware, but I can't see him not connecting with a powerful shot in the first 3 rounds. I hope the bookies share this optimism for Bisping!

    Interesting comment from Rogan about RDA pre Alvarez fight while cutting weight he passed out and was unresponsive trying to make weight, knew it was a bad cut but thats scary and explains the result imo.

    I'd say the lack of peds didn't help him either
    Looked fairly flat and soft at Alvarez weigh ins compared with Diaz and pettis fights

    He was Usada tested pre Pettis though and mauled cowboy too so its a bit unfair to him as much as I do suspect him.

    He looked absolutely no different on the scales to me.

    Performance wise, I think he was going fine until Alvarez timed him with a haymaker.

    His gameplan looked a bit off with Ferguson, but he had the gas tank for 3 rounds after being rocked a good few times. I think he's stupid to leave Cordeiro, the man was responsible for his career renaissance.

    If what Rogan said is true, that RDA was unconscious and unresponsive for three minutes while weight cutting there's no way he should of been allowed fight. Negligence from anyone involved, sometimes you have to save people from themselves.
