    Will you be just as vitriolic when Whittaker has to take 6 months off to fix his own knee now? He probably wont fight again this year either.

    I doubt he'd spend his time showing up drunk to a press conference or talking **** about fighters he was never going to fight anyway.
    I bet if they offered him Silva or another over the hill fighter he would have found the strength to fight before the GSP one was supposed to happen but he didn't want to fight anyone good when GSP inevitably broke down in training.

    It's kinda sad to say it, but it's hard to see Browne do anything other than lose. I just knew he'd lose before the fight started and even when OO got wobbly legs in the 1st round, I still knew that Browne would somehow end up losing. It seemed like a matter of time.

    Interesting to see him use so many kicks, which have been sorely lacking since he started with Edmund. But it still didn't work.

    Whittaker is more impressive every time I see him, I expect him to easily take out Bisping and it looks like he could be the champ for a while at 185. Bad knee and he still performs.

    100% agree. Strange joels corner didnt notice at all as it seemed to be an issue from the first round.

    As for joel gassing/ slowing down which we all knew would happen but i suppose the hook is your still waiting for some crazy explosion of offense deep into the fight. It never happened but i was waiting for something from him right up to thesst bell.

    From three on i thought whittaker was more in control although it was still close enough as i thoughy yoel was 2 up.

    I could for sure see Whittaker beating Bisping but fights against Rockhold, Moussasi etc I see being very tough for him, Whittaker could beat them yeah but he could very easily lose those fights also.

    Really hope the reem doesnt get a rematch with stipe next. No interest in seeing that so soon. Would like to see him fight the winner of jds and ngannou.

    They all know if they ever want to hold that belt they have to get to it before ngannou does.

    Bisping is an idiot. He disrespected his own title instead of Whittakers. He's a cringeworthy gob****e if ever there was one.

    Nah, he didn't at all. The physical belt is nothing but a token.

    Bisping is great playing the monster heel role. Thought he was brilliant last night, at he was at 205 and 199. "Shut the **** up buddeh, I just knocked you out in the first round" is right up there with some of the best McGregor lines in my book.

    Whitaker's push kicks were a big factor in winning the fight imo.

    I can see it being a co - main event maybe for the november msg card. Whittaker is to humble and respectful to get into a slagging match.

    Have mcgregor headline it. Be great fun having bisping and mcgregor at the same press conferance and on the same card.

    Dangerous to write Bisping off but anyone else think Whittaker beats him everywhere? similar enough fighters Robert is the younger lion I feel.

    I'd rarely write off any fighter in a big fight like this but I'm completely writing off bisbing

    They'd have to appear at a rundown of upcoming events press conference for that to happen the pre and post pressers per event have been that underwhelming one on one format for too long.

    People said the same thing when he fought rockhold. Think this fight will be closer than we all think. Bispings cardio is second to none as is his footwork.

    Also bisping with some next level heel ****tery ripping up a small cuban flag and throwing it at romero mid fight

    I didn't give him much hope despite having a small bet on him to win on points which was 9/1 and was imo the only way he could win it at the time
    I did think there was a fair chance of it going the distance if he could avoid being subbed
    Whittaker will make dust of bisping

    Have to laugh at Dana throwing Nunes under the bus ''It was 90% mental 10% physical'' on why she pulled out haha he is something else.

    Gas man, ya we put absolutely no money in to promoting her last time out it was all on Ronda, bet the trends for this PPV weren't immense prior to the fight falling off hence the outburst the w 135 title won't headline again ya sure Dana probably does before 220
