Why is it ok for Khabib to fight GSP

because khabib has proven himself as the best in the division and he is not taking away someone's chance to become champion.
bisping was clearly not the best in the division so the GSP fight took away the title shot for rightful contenders.

but when Bisping wanted the fight there were riots in the streets?

(all footage of said riots have mysteriously been deleted from the internets)

GSP cherry picked 1 eye Bisping.

GSP wants to fight Khabib as much as Khabib wants to fight him and in the process potentially beat the LW Goat and win a third belt being the first ever to do so.
 
I might not remember correctly, can you refresh me? You mean cause they are champs and GSP didn't deserve a crack? I know Bisping had like almost everyone in the top to still fight...so there was that. Is that what you're referring to? Not that Khabib had many defenses and still people to fight, I think the difference was most thought Bisping would lose to all the contenders and Khabib not, so it was more of a Bisping trying to fight a retired lighter fighter and get a payday before he loses the belt while Khabib would be fighting a heavier fighter (in theory), a great stylistic fight and just an epic match all together and didn't have a line of guys that would likely beat him waiting for his belt. Idk, I see a huge difference.

The riot footage was moved to the War Room I think?

Cleared out the division lmao. 3 title defenses is now clearing out the division? New fans are like, almost every division is cleared out and here's my top 10 unbeatable fighters list, they will never lose.
 
Wasn't it GSP that went after Bisping?

Anyway, there were plenty of interesting top contenders at MW for Bisping to fight.

And GSP had an issue with moving up to MW until Bisping was champ. They trained together before and GSP realized that this was a good fight for him.

I enjoyed the fight though.

Yes. This statement is totally supported by facts and bisping absolutely did not fight number 14 ranked (or was kt number 17?) About-to-retire dan Henderson in the very most recent fight before gsp. While romero and Jacare at the ends of their primes, or at least close to the ends of their primes, sat on the sidelines.

The middleweight pecking order was an absolute joke during bispings rein, it had nothing to do with gsp. At least we saw a legend defeat a champion a weight class above in a very entertaining match.
 
Hendo was 1-1 in his last two, while Yoel Romero was on a 7 fight win streak, and fighting a few weeks after the Hendo fight.

Bisping then sat out nearly a year waiting for a retired WW, while accusing Yoel of steroid use.

If you're not being difficult, you can understand how this could rub somebody the wrong way.
 
A lot of reaching in this thread
