Michael "Cowboy" Bisping :P. Fair play he's game but fighting three weeks after your previous one is a bit foolish. In terms of match ups the smaller Gastelum might be a good shout to get back on the win column but its no easy fight.

With 4in of a reach I think Bisping has the boxing to keep him at bay. Along with the more than decent TDD, Id have him winning a decision. That said, three weeks after his last fight thrown into another 5 rounder is a tough ask, especially with the travel to China.

Bisping is a ****ing warrior

Gastelum hand speed for me.

Holloway will retire Aldo terrible fight for his health, Max gets better every time dont think Aldo wins a round this time, Bisping is a headcase probably too mad for his own health doubt its retirement bout either in China.

Kelvin's a good matchup for Bisping. I like Kelvin but he's not big enough for middleweight and I think he's got dreadful footwork for a supposed boxer, Bisping will get the measure of him within 2 rounds and wear him down.

Bisping got his head elbowed into the canvas and dropped a week ago I dont think he'd get the measure of anyone elite at this short of a turnaround, remember Kelvin had Weidman on queer street too.

Bisping is just an animal. Pound for pound has there been a tougher man ever fight in the UFC? I personally don't think so.

The turnaround could obviously swing things.

Weidman is just a wrestler who thinks he can box, wouldn't read to much into it.

Kelvin has fast hands, that's about it for me

Bisping is an absolute hero. I'd really like him to retire without any significant damage though. Why go rushing into a fight like this.

Did you see his eye during the GSP weigh in? One of them was looking at ya, the other looking for ya, guessing he's going to have significant damage later on in life

Yeah fair point. I'd hope that his eye is more of a cosmetic thing. As weird as that is to say.

I'd like to see him avoid proper brain damage. He should really retire now. He has a decent family, nice home and a title reign. One of the last thing he needs is fights against young, hungry fighters.

The ABSOLUTE last thing he needs is one of romeros horrible knees to the face.

His eye has been significantly damaged for years. It's from an acute injury, not cumulative damage

Kelvin is a lock in this. Bisping got hurt last week!

I'm a Bisping rider but he shouldn't be allowed fight so quick.

Beersmith

I really hate the aldo holloway rematch. Should have just postponed the Edgar fight

Fair ****s to Bisping, what a warrior. Suitable as well how he has dealth with fighting juicers throughout his career and now he's stepping up, short noitce and banged up, to replace one. If he manages the win, it would be a great ending to his career but I doubt he would retire in China.

I will be rooting for him anyway, lets go Budday!!

Actually does he not have a mandatory medical suspension?

Yep 30 days https://www.mmafighting.com/2017/11/8/16625166/ufc-217-medical-suspensions-georges-st-pierre-stephen-thompson-out-45-days. Dana said when he pulled Mark Hunt from his fight that "sometimes you have to protect these guys from themselves" and now he sanctions this. Under doctors advice Bisping shouldn't even be doing light training for 30 days but he will be having an actual fight 21 days after taking many head & body shots and being choked unconscious. Ridiculous.

Same, but for his own sake they shouldn't be pushing this.

Except for those several months were he ran like an Olympic marathon runner away from any legitimate title defences
Fighting the likes of dan Henderson and who he thought was a weaker smaller man in gsp.

He lost the title and is now desperate to get back in picture.

I hope Whitaker and romeo and rock hold and weidman all make him wait for even a contender shot like he was happy to make them wait.

Hope gastellum batters him into retirement where he belongs

Always thought Bisping was cool, never got the hate

Should be interesting to hear Bisping tomorrow on the MMA hour. Rampage should be funny and Mizzulli should be interesting to hear out as well.

Bisping has probably been on a bender since Saturday. Don't see how this can go well for him

Bisping is too big for Gastelum
