2017 THREAD: Georges St. Pierre vs. Michael Bisping For MW Title Announced; Date TBA (Poll)

[WayOfTheFist]

All these guys were past their prime except Rockhold. Bisping's only good win is Rockhold and that fight was flukish as it gets.

Can't disagree. But on paper and through name value, he'd be considered to be one of the best of all time(if he gets the W over gsp).

Fedor, Silva, Jones, and gsp are regarded as the goats. Bisping would have wins over 2 of the 4 best ever.

That really sucks. I was actually really looking forward to Bisping vs Romero.

 

[2DUM2TAP]

Why GSP or Romero?

There are no other options?

Romero because his is the #1 contender.
GSP because he is coming out of retirement and wants to fight Bisping.

I'm sure if GSP didn't want this fight then Bisping would be fighting Romero.

Yoel "One Round" Romero. Really ??? Ok

So, since you appear to be extremely confused, let me enlighten you a bit here. Yoel Romero has 8 fights in the UFC. He's won all of them. Of those 8 fights, he has finished 6 of them. Of those 6 fights, every single one of them was finished in the third round. Every. Single. One. So while you and some other ignorant people around here continue to say he has no cardio, Yoel Romero has finished 75% of his UFC fights in the 3rd round.

So, since you are factually wrong, I'll give you a chance to save face, take back what you said, and apologize for your ignorance. I know you won't, and I'm sure you'll come back with some nonsense post you think is witty but actually isn't, but I'm giving you the chance regardless.

UFC is racist! They can't have another black man taking the belt.

 

[Karp]

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

Why would a former welterweight champ, deserve an immediate title shot at middleweight?

 

[One MMA Fan]

Pathetic matchmaking from the UFC.

Shame on Bisping for clear ducking of the top 5 ready and willing and deserving and better contenders.

I will so laugh my ass off if GSP wins this out of retirement, many years inactive and going up a weight class to win the MW tittle.

Also wtf George you were invoking size in your prime and declined to show us a show vs Silva and now you went vs The Duck ? really George that sure ass hell doesn't look well.

People pulling for a Romero months after he's been sanctioned by USADA is a mystery to me. What does the UFC do ? Give him a title shot , then he wins then USADA sanctions him for two years ???

Faarooq already did this schtick in 1997.

Romero or Souza deserve it but $$$

 

[bigbangspiritbomb]

I blame Rockhold. I regret rooting for Bisping on that fight.

10: 1 pay day just on the fight

All these Anderson fans are pissed that the GOAT is about to become a 2 weight champion

 

[NotoriousMillions]

Why would a former welterweight champ, deserve an immediate title shot at middleweight?

Because he never lost his belt and deserves a title shot.

 

[OmegaRugal]

Bisping is going to have wins over Silva, Henderson, and GSP.

This is insane.

He was cleared of any wrongdoing, which is why he didn't receive a 2 year suspension and his win over Jacare still stands.

 

[UJustGotChaeld]

Romero because his is the #1 contender.
GSP because he is coming out of retirement and wants to fight Bisping.

I'm sure if GSP didn't want this fight then Bisping would be fighting Romero.

And it HAS to be MW because ....

LOL ... GSP is about to get KO'd by Bisping.

All GSP is doing is helping Bisping fill his legacy with incredible name wins at the end of his career.

From journeyman to GOAT killer.

GSP wants a payday. Bisping is too big for him. He couldn't even handle Hendricks
