First off( very important)- if you're a bisping backer ,I'm just dealing it straight so no disrespect towards you as a fan.Man why do some of you say years when talking about bisping reign? It was barely a year, division kept moving with yoel vs whittaker. In that case, Whittaker is ruining the division way more with his pull out game. Pulled out of the rockhold and kelvin fights, 2 new interim titles (yoel didn't make weight)
**fuck yes , I just hit Kentucky oaks- my #13 horse was me key and just nailed exacta with a 40 to 1 in 2nd....waiting for prices**
anyways - I include his behavior all the way through gsp vacating shortly after ....which was about 20 months and there was a domino effect that went hand in hand.
Bisping caught lightning in a bottle and showed his character right off bat as not only did he not fight , UFC tried to pen title fights withRomero, Mousasi, and jacare.
He declined all stating " I'm the champ and i call the shots" . So, , at the time he says no to the #2, #3 and #4 middleweights and then steps up to the plate to fight #15 48 year old Henderson in his backyard and " arguably " lost that.
During that time, gsp isnt stupid - he gets " lol " legacy fight against a 185 er who was probably somewhere between #11 and #14 camouflaged by wearing title. In the meantime we lose mousasi (really unbelievable), Romero and jacare only getting older. There were more casualties that I'm not going to get into. I mean agree with Whitaker in the sense that I dont know what to say with the stresses of cage fighting that's impeding his process as a fighter/champion . He, at least, is a legit champ and talented but division MUST MOVE FORWARD.
