Disgraceful
Barao did it twice.
Defending an interim title is ridiculous. GSP should forfeit if he can’t defend in a reasonable time or they should shelf Whittaker until he’s ready.
It’s a good fight but it seems like nothing more than a money grab for Perth which is the norm these days.
Very tough fight on paper for both guys. I expect a close decision win by Whittaker.
It is so sad, the UFC belt means absolutely nothing!
Then why are they targeting a fucking fight with the interim champ?Why would he get stripped for not defending when he's held the belt for like a month? Wtf is wrong with you people
I agree that he got lucky but it’s still a legit win. I think this is for the best because GSP can go back down to welterweight or he can retire again. He’s earned whatever he wants..
You continue to discredit Bisping by saying he took the fight lightly. The real question is how much did you lose betting on Rockhold? Again left kick, check is all he has in striking. WOW
Maybe Whittaker wants to fight in his home country and 3 months after a title fight is too soon for most champions, that's not even mentioning his illness.Then why are they targeting a fucking fight with the interim champ?
Just as I said. GSP was never interested in MW. He was interested in Bisping. 1.5 years of stalling a division for nothing.
GSP skipped the queue, cost Jacare and Romero a title shot and sent Mousasi to Bellator, and for what? A manufactured title shot...
Why would he ruin the division by cutting the queue if he never intended on staying in the division. Goes to show everything he's said was a lie.
Ok. That also means if he continues that same shit with more predictable left kicks and check hooks, then Whittaker will murk Rockhold easier than I thought.Discrediting Bisping isn't my intent here. My point is that Rockhold fought in a manner uncharacteristic for him considering his skillset and that gave Bisping a better chance of beating him. He still had to take that chance, and credit to him for doing it. But Rockhold isn't going to fight that way against Whittaker.
You, in repeatedly going back to his check hook and left kick are proving my point. Rockhold didn't get knocked out throwing a check hook or left kick. He was throwing a jab. Something he rarely does, so rarely you aren't referencing it as part of his arsenal, which it isn't. Because he didn't fight as he usually fights. I don't know how clearer I can make it.
Jacare and Yoel couldn't hold Whittaker down but Rockhold will?Rockhold by grappling clinic
Because the champ is dealing with a serious illness while the interim champ is returning from an injury. This isn't hard to comprehend and that also has nothing to do with GSP being stripped despite only recently winning the beltThen why are they targeting a fucking fight with the interim champ?
We all knew GSP wasn't going to defend that belt. He saw Bisping as the easier of the two title fights he could have taken for his come back, and that's it. He'll vacate and look for a super fight or maybe fight Woodley.
Jacare and Yoel couldn't hold Whittaker down but Rockhold will?
That would be pretty fucking impressive.
Rockhold has excellent jiu-jitsu but personally I don't see him getting Whittaker down and keeping him there.
