I didn't even know this was a thing, but how the HELL was Bisping cleared to fight only 3 weeks after getting choked unconscious by GSP? That is ridiculous, negligent and completely irresponsible of the UFC. Dana should be ashamed of himself that he allowed that to happen. I don't care if he "really wanted it" or was cleared by "Doctors".Last edited by Joey; Thu Nov 30, 2017, 07:19 PM.

dana actually tried to stop chris leben from fighting in other organizations to protect him from himself. he wouldn't schedule leben fights and wouldn't let him out of his contract for a long time.

And good on him for looking out for Leben ... dude was basically brain dead by the end of it. Lol
He should have done more to dissuade Bisping from this fight.
But as such, Bisping now holds the record for most times being dropped/knocked down in the Octagon. CTE is a real thing and it's not just in the NFL.

i would hope that they all have very good insurance in case of cte, and other injuries.
in my view, if the drs clear him, then he is good to go and a grown man makes a grown man decision. if we were given the choice between millions of dollars and the potential for brain damage, or not millions of dollars and the potential for brain damage i think we would make that choice for our children as well. i doubt that that one punch was going to do more damage than anything else he has taken.

Ngannou has hands made of concrete apparently.
And Holloway is the real deal.Last edited by Miekenstien; Mon Dec 4, 2017, 06:04 PM.

I missed Yancy Medeiros and Alex Oliveira, but that's supposed to be one of the better fights in recent memory as well. Will have to try and find that.
Edit: Found it...

LOL I don't think I've ever heard so many "Whoa!"'s and "Wooo!"s from Joe Rogan in a single round before. This fight IS nuts.Last edited by Joey; Mon Dec 4, 2017, 07:01 PM.

Dana White is going to lose his mind. Wonder if we ever see GSP fight again...
Not going to lie, I have enjoyed watching Rockhold go bananas over the last few months because of this. Lol
