Weidman didn't get KOd by short-notice Bisping thoughOh yeah Rockhold def has his mind on other things and made that clear holding out for a suitable deal. That may have him preoccupied, but a dedicated Weidman still has been 1-2 since the Rockhold fight. Rockhold may be 1-2 or something (even though branch isn’t exactly gastelum level). But I think it was clear as day when they fought that Rockhold was doing better even before the spinning shit. Weidman won the first round just by being a backpack, but I had Rockhold winning the rest before the spinning kick.
Still will be interesting and there is the history of that barbaric first fight.
Yeah but Rockhold already beat weidmab to a bloody pulp.Weidman didn't get KOd by short-notice Bisping though
Yes sure, but like others have pointed out... it was pretty competitive before Weidman went for that lame spinning kick and got taken down, and beat up good.Yeah but Rockhold already beat weidmab to a bloody pulp.
So there is that.
I hope Herb Dean isn't the ref. He must have had a beef with Weidman the first fight, letting him take those beatings.

iirc weidman was losing the fight before being tko'd. rockhold was dominating the standup.Weidman checks dat chin this time.
We don't always need a wmma title fight headliner or an interim championship.Good card, but still needs a headliner
