Mikey caught lightning in bottle for one fight he luckily stumbled into, add some help with questionable decisions as he had one foot out the door and here we are. He knew that his window was closing fast and wanted to ca$h out in proper fashion, call it karma or just Father Time reminding him its all but over. In retrospect he can look back and be proud of what he’s accomplished for the past dozen years in a brutal and unforgiving sport. That being said he now needs to focus on the next chapter of his life, his health and family. If he does decide to take one more fight he needs to cherry pick more than ever to avoid being concussed one last time, big boys make decisions that bogel the minds of us normal folks looking in, but I’m sure at some point the financials of the Gastelum fight will surface and it was a calculated move that went south. One thing we should have learned long ago is while brash and polarizing, Mr. Bisping is far from the usual uneducated brute MMA fighter, he’s articulate and has great options for life after fighting. He will be fine once he leaves the gloves in the cage and hopefully does that sooner than later.... I’m not a fan of his but wish him luck and good health moving forward.
