Wish Hendo had gotten a little more aggressive when he still had the gas. Also think he should have gone for more of a clench and takedown to help set up the HBOMBB
Bisbing should have called out Connor and Cormier for the hell of it.

Judging rounds is done by the following criteria, in descending order: effective striking and effective grappling, ring or cage control, and then effective aggressiveness.
The only round you can really debate was R2 and I think Dan won but I could see some people thinking otherwise.
“I’m underrated throughout my whole career,” Mousasi said. “Maybe throw some bottles on people’s heads and people are gonna notice me. I fight Michael Bisping with his performance tonight…I like Michael Bisping, but you guys know I can beat him. I would jab his face the whole night.”
“I think I’ve been dominating since USADA came,” he said. “Uriah Hall was a fluke [defeat]. Anybody who knows anything about the sport knows it was a fluke. If I fight Derek Brunson, Robert Whittaker, I’m a favorite. Is it a popularity contest?”
“McGregor is good for the sport. But what is it? You had Muhammad Ali, he was a hero,” Mousasi said. “He did big things. Nowadays you have [Floyd] Mayweather and Conor McGregor. [They] have money and everybody loves it. That sells. People are stupid.People don’t know who is a real fighter or not. They just like to see expensive stuff on Instagram.”
Also called for a fight with the top four but acknowledged they were all booked. Asked for fight with Hall or Spider as a more timetable based option. Said UFC won't give him GSP and Spider would prbly decline the fight for same reason of no upside for them.
Said he'll either get a tough fight and wait a little while (top 4 guy) or an easy fight in Hall. Said he'll no longer take any fights that don't make sense for him nor will fight injured.
Anyone with a brain loves chatty Gegard, he's always been great.
Said he's underrated in Holland too, him playing the I don't get no respect card is apt. Dude nearly KO'd a HW Grand Prix champ (no not Badr obv) in a kickboxing match. He was the fave going into it too, if I remember right.
His loss against King Mo was silly too; he got taken down repeatedly but was the one doing all the damage, albeit from his back.
Yea his trash talk was awesome but I don't think he's that underrated. If anything he came into the UFC massively overrated. Since then he's had some boring fights, beat some guys who aren't very good, and lost to every contender he's faced. Beating sauceless Vitor is decent but not all that.
I'd have him as a considerable underdog to the top 4, and probably Brunson as well.
Still though his trash talk is fun and pretty accurate.

I agree. His striking is truly elite but his weakness is grappling which the top 4 are some of the best grapplers in the sport. Makes sense for him to try and avoid them and call out bisping/hall/AS who are good matchups for him.
