We Should Be Talking About How Glass Rockhold's Chin Must Be

[MikeHolmes]

No more The Mediocre Count is now sitting on his punches. No champ has any business needing the full 25 minutes to beat this version of Hendo.

Well, Bisping wasnt trying to sit on his punches against Hendo. He was on his bike the full fight...., unlike the Luke fight where the kicks are a threat on the outside.

 

[Kyler Ruxin]

I think Bisping was ready to go out on his shield in the Rockhold fight, since everyone expected him to lose anyways. In the Hendo fight, his game plan was "just don't fucking get knocked out again," and he was far less aggressive with his punches.

Go to the corner and ask him buddeh

Rockhold may potentially be chinny but I think one more KO loss or random chicken dance/electric bugaloo before it can be a definite statement.

So what you're saying is Bisping would be the GOAT if he would stop being such a pussy?

BTW Bisping was coming after Hendo hard pressuring him constantly. He wasn't playing it safe, which is why he almost got KO'd twice.

I hate Rockhold but I don't think he has a glass chin. Bisping hit him with a nice two piece combo. Perfect little set up body punch and then the big left hook that snapped Luke's head sideways and had him slowly drop to the canvas. luke still wasn't out and then Bisping hit him a few times while Luke was leaning against the cage. I don't think Luke has a glass jaw but he might after that! It was pretty damn brutal.

Bisping is the champ because he legitimately knocked out the reigning champ and went on to defend his title. Deal with it.

He might have recovered if he hadn't jumped up straight away, he got hit with another big left and then and fell into the cage and then got hit a few more times. However good your chin is, if you get hit right your going down. 3 KO losses in 18 fights is quite a lot however.

Fuck the bisping hate. How can you not respect his journey, heart and achievements even if you dislike his character and style.

I'm not saying Bisping was being a pussy at all. But he was expected to win this fight, and after almost losing it in the first, I think he played it a bit more safe going forward. He won like 4 minutes of the 2nd round, and then got clipped again. After that, Hendo was tired as shit and the only way Hendo would be able to win was the big punch, so Bisping just went with the game plan of out pointing him while avoiding that big punch.

This. Also, via a 'Rockhold was never that good', seriously?

He was pretty fucking active in every round for someone who wasn't aggressive.

I'm not shit talking him or anything. I just think he was aggressive in the same way Mayweather is aggressive. Land more shots, but do it safely without taking much risks. It's not like he unloaded any bombs or anything, and he never tried to finish the fight. His biggest strikes were some head kicks, but even those he hit with his foot, not his shin, from far away.

 

[Afroken]

Rockholds boxing has always been bad, unlike Henderson. This allowed Bisping to really come forward and put pressure on him without the threat of being knocked out.

 

[CannotWin]

Bisping rightfully won and handled Henderson and his H-Bombs. Keep hating, buddeh!

After surviving two huge right hands, I thought he did the right thing. Look at what happened to Rockhold when he had no respect for someone's game - he got KTFO'd.

Aggressive pattycake playing.
