Bisping got choked unconcious 3 weeks prior. So that probably didn't help.That's why Gastelum almost killed Bisping.
Well, he could at least tell "Schmo" to stop the lame ass gimmick. (or just punch him in the face, I'd take either one)

I think he knows that but it keeps him relevantWhat is his schtick?? He’s a... “Schmo”...??
He’s kinda a cringey tool...
This is about CTE and mental health. Sub-concussive hits cause CTE. BJ took 104 sig. strikes to the head in the last fight. He is 0-7-1 in his last 8 fights. He's 1-9-1 in his last 11 fights. Both are absolutely atrocious. How many strikes has he taken to the head in the last 8 fights? He's taken 440 in the last 5 fights. Probably 750-800 in the last 8 fights. And sparring in training between each fight he is certain to take blows to the head. That's a ridiculous amount of blows to the head, and that's on top of everything he took in the prior three fights. Or the 21 before those three. There are other signs that he's losing it, like a restraining order being filed against him for physical and sexual abuse. That's not just hurting him, that's hurting other innocent people too. Tito too was arrested for domestic violence and later arrested for a DUI. That also could have hurt someone innocent.They are big boys. Why would he tell em to stop fighting?
If you tell em you won't train em anymore for fear or safety concerns then they will just go to someone who will. This can be heart breaking for a long time trainer.. Long time trainers are more prone to throw in the towel for their fighters. Stop the fights. Call the doctors over and know exactly what each fighter can withstand as far as sheer punishment goes. A noob trainer does not know these things about their new clients. It is a dangerous game for a stubburn fighter who refuses to retire but it is in the end ultimately their choice. As a trainer you have to respect this. Bj lost a bunch but he still has fire in him. Tito does to. If he does not train them, someone else will, If they get hurt in there badly then it will have a very negative impact on the original trainer. He will always be asking himself " Man, If i would have trained him we could have avoided that"
The fighters retire when they feel fit. Whether its monetary reasons, Pride or the sheer love for fighting. These guys will scrap either way. There is no better person in your corner then your long time coach in this scenario. Yeah it sucks sometimes seeing a old vet get dominated but it is the name of the game. At one point or another they all realize its time to stop. Until that time you can either train em or throw em to the dogs. It can be a tough choice I would imagine for everyone involved. .

Actually he did tell Bisping he hated that fight, also told the media the sameThat's why Gastelum almost killed Bisping.
