Could Bisping cash in this favour?

[paddy_da_pikey]

Bisping has been a loyal company man through and through, opened up the UK market, took a last minute replacement fight, fought all the steroid users thrown at him, headlined numerous cards and been a mainstay in UFC for 10 years and done all asked for him - so its fair that he has good position to ask for a favour off UFC brass...

He has said his wife wants him to retire, he is thinking about his future after fighting and that Luke Rockhold wont be his first defence, Weidman is out for 6 months, he just beat Silva, Belfort is coming of a loss, Jacare says he is injured...

So if I was Bisping and was being smart id ask for the following of UFC...

Give me Dan Henderson as my first defence in the ultimate grudge rematch and allow me to 'right the wrong' the fight being justifiable (somewhat) by the scenario above. And put me as the co-main event of McGregor vs Diaz 2 at UFC 202 in which it will be the biggest or second biggest PPV ever and let me get my final PPV pay off retirement money and I will retire win or lose, we will do the fight with Henderson as a quick turnaround as he had an impressive KO on the same card as me

Thats what id be doing if I was Bisping now hes getting those PPV points as a champ

Its not about the money.

They arnt called Prize fighters for nothing - make no mistake its ALL about the money

I hope the fight happens. I think bisping will clean dans clock now . Dan walked through them shots all those years ago. He had a chin of granite and Mike was on his bike hitting on his top toes the whole time.
I think one of those left hooks from bisping would rock Dan to the core now .
I hope he gets that favour .

Whether it's about the money or not is something only the fighter himself can answer.

Stop acting like some know-it-all and disrespecting fighters by pretending to know why they fight.

Mike wants to defend the title in Britain..

UFC might well let him do that, would be a mighty popular card, only trouble is the time zone thing..

Sunday night (Sunday afternoon US), Millenium Stadium Cardiff, 80k... would be fun

Weidman is out for 6 months

Weidman vs. Bisping at NY is guaranteed if Weidman's recovery goes as planned.

· 06/09/16 - According to Weidman, he'll begin physical therapy and strength training on Thursday and resume "hard MMA sparring" in six weeks. (July 20th) (that’s 4 months before NY card)

· Weidman described the procedure he was getting on a recent episode of "The MMA Hour." He is hoping to return to action at UFC 205 in New York City.

I hate hearing things like this.

I honestly dont think bisping made it all the way to the belt just to cash it in I think he thinks he can beat anyone thats all im saying.

 

[Sink0]

It might be too short of a turnaround for Hendo but Mike should push for the fight.

 

[jonathan274]

Jacare says he is injured..

Do you not trust Jacare?

I get it. I just think it's important to get paid. One may love his job but you can't pay your bills with passion.

 

[rodn86]

Hendo has zero chin these days and is very predictable. I think Bisping will clown him.

 

[CTYankee]

The title shot was the favor

 

[paddy_da_pikey]

Do you not trust Jacare?

I do of course, you must have read this wrong, I believe him being injured helps the justification for fighting Hendo and not Jacare

 

[jonathan274]

It was the "says he is injured" phrasing, he has gotten some shit on here for the injury and not taking the fight against rockhold.

Id like to see that as well. A non title fight with Nick Diaz could be good too.

 

[scurdhomey]

Brain damage.

I'll just leave it at that.

If Bisping KO'ed Dan out cold ... my goodness.

Bisping was never the same after he got knocked Da Fk out....

He's the champ, but he will always be salty , till he gets a chance to fight Hendo again and again get knocked Da fk out....I feel for him
