On the flip side, if this is in Manchester I'll be buying tickets.

Hendo's last chance at UFC gold and still more than capable of repeating one of his most memorable KO victories. Bisping gets a chance to avenge his worst KO loss to a fighter that might just have slipped enough for Bisping to squeak the win.

Throw Bisping to the wolves after this fight, although I suspect Hendo takes it again.

Win or lose Hendo should retire, I think we may even see Bisping retire if he gets KTFO again.

I remember the first Bisping - Hendo fight so well. You could hear Bisping's corner telling him "don't circle towards the right hand". What does he do next round? Circles towards the right hand and gets put to sleep. Be interesting to see if he's learned anything now.
 
A $2.5m pay cheque was the reason Brock came back - can't fault him for coming back as a one-off for that kind of money!

He's a huge guy and while his conditioning is up there with the best, he was never going to be able to go full-bore for 15 minutes after such a long time out!

When Jones' withdrawal first became known the Hunt-Lesnar fight was promoted to be the main event but then shortly after it was swapped to Tate-Nunes - at first I couldn't understand why but on reflection the Tate-Nunes fight was always going to be a 5-rounder with it being for a title and so by demoting the Brock fight to co-main, it was OK to keep it as 3 rounds - I'm sure both men's conditioning had a lot to do with that decision!

I remember it well because I was there, absolutely devastated in the crowd with yanks all around going absolutely ape ****. :(

He soundly beats Hendo this time round though, i'll be there again (hopefully).

Can't link it here due to the language, but episode #822 of the Joe Rogan Experience is a pretty decent one and worth checking out.Worth checking out!

Is that the one with Joey Diaz? If so, I haven't laughed at anything so much for years! That guy is like an extra from the Sopranos "I've been eating pizza for 20 years you **** suckers!" :D
 
If Bisping vs Henderson 2 does go down in Manchester are any of you guys up for doing an OcUK UFC meet? I don't have any local friends who follow UFC enough to be up for spending £100's to go see it, given that I live in the Channel Islands it's pricey when factoring in a flight to Manchester too.

I saw Bisping fight Akiyama at UFC120 and would like to see him fight once more, in what I hope to be his retirement fight - I really don't want to see him stick around too long and get the bejesus knocked out of him by Romero, Weidman or Rockhold.

Just my two cent on the past week or two of blur that has been UFC 200 & all other events.

Alverez taking the lightweight belt has enabled some very interesting matchups, great from him! Aldo looked sensational as did Cain.

To touch on last nights card, Louis Smolka with a beautiful performance, some of his transitions and control on top were music to my ears :). El Cucey put on a crazy fight against a debuting late replacement for Michael Chiesa, Lando Vannata. Watch out for that kid that's all I'll say.
 
Been meaning to post this all week.

Remember when, Aldo called out, McGregor during his post fight interview? it would have made legendary television if 5 seconds after that if, McGregor climbed the outside of the cage and slapped the back of, Aldo's head.
 
Aldo looked in the best shape of his life. Would love a rematch with him and McGregor tbh.
 
Well it wouldnt surprise me as ive always wondered how he hasn't been rumbled because hes never been that big and natural and this time round his conditioning and size looked even bigger/better. I think most in the UFC are on PEDS just like Diaz says anyway its just a matter of when they will get caught.

I was expecting something special, but it didn't even rock him :p

Lineker is going places though. He swings like someone a weight class above him! There were bombs going in, within that fight and it was just a matter of time before one landed clean.
 
Can't say i'm overly surprised Lesnar has been busted for doping.

I feel for Hunt more than anything, it seems everyone he fights gets busted.
