His hands looked terrible against Kennedy.

Bisping would get a UD

I agree. I'm surprised by how many people in this thread are impressed with Rockhold.

Hahaha maybe it was just a joke?

Probably need to see a vid of the comment. Regardless, Rashad owned Jones in the gym, not so much in the cage. Same concept.

Bisping has no allegiance to Luke so why shouldn't he admit if he got the best of the sparring exchanges. Sparring is the closest thing to a fight without fully fighting. Sparring does give you a good idea of how a fight would go.
People didn't talk smack about chuck admitting he would smash Tito. He even went so far to say how he did it and what worked well for him against Tito.
Beloved Wanderlei was talking smack about Anderson and saying that he used to smash Anderson back in Chute Boxe.

Bottom line is these dudes are competitors and even sparring sessions against people in your division is a competition. Granted a fight is a fight but sparring sessions give you a good idea of how it'll go.

Btw. I have started to become a believer in bisping and I think I am jumping on his war wagon. The guy is solid everywhere in MMA and deserves to be respected.

Haters gonna hate.

War Bisping. Give the man his Shitle Tot

Ya the thing about sparring is the other guy may be recovering from a workout, or on a light, rest day. You CANNOT be 100% even on fight day,there is no way you are going to be completely on for each guy you spar with. Also there's the respect to training partners u don't know. The point is Rockhold didn't spend months preparing for bisping. I hate dude in gyms that try to go reallly hard, hurt everyone , get injured, never improve technique and never learn anything new. That seems to be the type of guy "oh I tapped so and so".

I respect Bisping as a fighter but that whole " beat this guy" in sparring is kind of a chicken hawk move.
