4 years out of the octogon. 4 YEARS!
I see a lot of GSP haters on here descrediting this win. "Cherry picking", "Bisping was easy", the list goes on...
Name me one fighter who has come back after such a significant amount of time with a win?
Hell, name me one fighter who has come back after nearly that amount of time and finished a legit opponent in another weight class?
The answer is nobody.
Obviously Bisping wasn't the hardest guy to beat at middleweight. Everybody in their right mind knows that. It's no secret. And GSP also knew that when he chose that fight.
With that being said, 4 YEARS out of the game? That's a HUGE factor a lot of people seem to be ignoring.
People like to pretend that Bisping was a joke. But If I recall correctly, half of the people on here were saying that
Bisping would beat GSP or that GSP was gone for too long and was going to get caught and knocked the fuck out. Even the betting odds were pretty much 50/50.
Now most of these guys are turning their tongues and acting like this was a walk in the park and no big deal.
Bisping has always been a top 10 guy in the UFC middleweight division. Anyone who disagrees with that needs a reality check and needs to rewatch his fights.
As much as some people like to pretend this was an easy feat, it wasn't.
Let's stop pretending like Bisping isn't a great fighter.
