Great decision to be honest. Romero and Jacare need to play back their original fight, and GSP deserves this.

Shame on the athletic commission for sanctioning this fight.
"Ya, we know GSP hasn't fought in 4 years. But fuck it, let him move up a weight class and fight the best striker at 185." What could possibly go wrong?

Um, what

Bisping already got his freebie fight with Old man Hendo in his hometown. He doesn't rate another fight like this when there are clear contenders

Clearly the UFC gave him it because GSP wanted it.... So they go to him and say hey... you can fight GSP or Romero.... If you were him would you turn down a huge pay day versus a smaller guy? If you say no then your a poor business man or just lying to yourself.
 
This fight makes no sense...

GSP will win and then vacate the title... LOL

I can't blame Bisping though, he's just trying to get paid...

“If I wasn’t offered a fight with him [in 2016], I wouldn’t be thinking Georges St-Pierre. But that just got that carrot dangled in front of my face of a several-million-dollar payday. Call me stupid, but I want that f*cking carrot. I want that several million dollars in my bank account. I want it for my children’s sake, for my family, for when I’m retired so we can still live a good life.

“That’s why I’m doing it. Not because I’m trying to rob the UFC, or rob the fans of the No. 1 contender, or do wrong to Yoel Romero. I want it for my family’s sake. So in a perfect world, I fight Georges St-Pierre, I will beat Georges St-Pierre, I will not be injured in that fight Georges because Georges never injures anybody in a fight, and then I will do a quick turnaround, within six weeks I will fight Yoel Romero. That’s what he wants, that’s what he’ll get. I’ll guarantee you right now, hand on my heart.”

At least he promised to fight Yoel 6 weeks after this fight (if he wins)...
 
Holy shit. Well, Souza & Yoel must be pissed at this one. It's a cool fight though, awesome to see GSP back but I'm not sure how he will do against Bisping. Inactivity + first time at MW. Undecided on this one.
 
How big is Bisping compared to GSP? The UFC did this because it's a money fight compared to Bisping vs Souza or Romero.
 
I blame Rockhold. I regret rooting for Bisping on that fight.
 
Bisping by left hook. GPS will try to tap before it lands. No really. Count is too tough. Too dedicated and way too big.
 
Why Though? I mean I'm not agianst is sounds like a fun fight.....But why? Yoel and Jacare rightfully deserve the shot.
 
The right thing to do was give Miss the GSP fight. Maia deserves the title shot but instead gets the shaft by the silly instant rematch between Woodley and Thompson. So give Maia a big money fight instead of the title shot in GSP. But no.

Infinitely better wrestler with much more power and speed in his hands... yes, that was essentially my point. I can't even tell if you were genuinely asking such a question.

I don't expect to see the GSP who manhandled Alves and Penn. I'm expecting a bulked up, slower GSP with the hesitation we saw vs Hendricks.

GSP was smaller in the hendricks fight than the other ones.. lol
 
"the rankings were never my friend" - Dana White

Why do the rankings even fucking exist at all! This fight is bullshit. George is coming off the bench, moving up in weight, and cutting the line ahead of far more deserving contenders. Yoel vs The Count should have been booked, but they need them ppv buys!

Why GSP or Romero?

There are no other options?
 
As a GSP fan I had to pick him but let's be real, he's been away for years and was not putting away anyone at WW. I don't think this is a good fight for him to take and I'd have to give Bisping the edge.
