GSP's not as fast as he used to be but seems to have the basics still. His offense is on point but he's more hittable than I remember

Great round by GSP, but he's tiring fast! I think he really needs to do some damage these first three rounds or Bisping is gonna outlast him.

10-9 GSP, he does seem to have more power than I expected but I feel like he's not going to be able to absorb much if Bisping can start landing on him and cardio will be a question in later rounds.

It's weird it's like GSP ate old Hendricks and absorbed some of his power, but is also slower now

Bisping needs to come at him and take a shot to give one see how it goes

Both guys are easy pickings for a healthy Bobby Knuckles at UFC 221 based on what ive seen so far

Starting to look like cardio could be a big deal

I missed the middle portion of the round so not sure who won it but Bisping coming on strong and GSP does not look like 4 years ago GSP cardio wise

I'm guessing 19-19 but missed a bit of the round so idk

ooof. tiring bad. he needs to move a lot to avoid strikes, because he doesnt really have that tight boxing footwork/headmovement.

Wow, JUST as GSP was running out of gas and im convinced Bispings going to win, GSp gets a takedown, then Bisping slices him up with elbows from the bottom, then GSP just drops him and chokes him out after GnP. Crazy.

So GSP has KO power now, but is slower and hittable but he's still GSP.

I'm going to smash Whittaker and Whittaker by KO if he fights GSP next. GSP is too slow and hittable and Whittaker's TDD even better than Bispings

GSP does have power now that he lacked before and instead of speed/technique based takedowns he has hulk strength takedowns

Weird and kind of inconclusive

If they make GSP vs Whittaker for UFC 221 in Perth I may have to fly there and see it in person

It looks like the line was about correct at evens based on what we saw I think

Lost a few hundred back but still a good card for me, card delivered on the action and I won a few k so can't complain.

I wonder what GSP is going to do now, it has to be Woodley or Whittaker. I hope we find out soon.

If he loses the extra unnecessary muscle I think GSP can still beat Woodley if he can avoid being knocked out by the counter, I think he's in just awful shape against Whittaker though. Even better TDD than Bisping, hits harder than Bisping and is younger. That said, if GSP keeps all the muscle at 185, Wonderboy knocked Whittaker out, granted that was when he was greener so anything is possible. 185 Whittaker is an entirely different beast to before he moved up though I think he's taking that belt when they unify

3/3 challengers win, pretty crazy

Best card this year? I can't remember a better one at least. Crazy all around.

Not sure if I should feel vindicated with my GSP bet or not. I was worried about the extra weight etc., but felt strongly from my research that long layoffs are misunderstood in MMA. Better lucky than good tho. Lost a little on the sweats and ended up +2.2u for an ROI of about 38%.

lol Woodley just said he wants to go to 185 to fight GSP, Weidman just says 'look how much bigger than you I am' at the desk

I expect Whittaker beats GSP then he gets a WW title shot, i'm sure he can still make 170 but who knows. Donald Trump got elected President, GSP making 5 title defenses at MW wouldn't be the strangest thing to happen in the past year or so

Definitely the best card in a long time, 3 new champs, exciting fights and finishes etc and no fights that completely sucked

I think you see GSP target Conor next, or he targets Woodley at 170, then Conor at 155. He is almost surely chasing 3 belts because he said when he retires there will be no doubt he is the GOAT. I already think there is no doubt he is the GOAT after tonight but I'd guess that's what will happen. I'd say virtually no shot he fights Whitaker but I could be wrong, just don't see that appealing to him on any level right now.

I don't know what the odds would be for Conor McGregor vs. Georges St-Pierre but for GSP, it may weirdly make more sense than the imminent danger of facing Tyron Woodley or Robert Whittaker.

Conor probably likes his own chances and I'd imagine the public at large would take his two fights against Nate Diaz at 170 at face value as though he has a realistic chance against GSP at 170...it'd be an easy fight to sell even if superficially it doesn't make any sense apart from the monetary aspect of it all which WME will very likely look at.

Looking at Tyron Woodley and Chris Weidman side-by-side is ridiculous to think Tyron wants to move up to middleweight.

He wants to move up to mw to fight gsp without risking the ww belt. It was hilarious watching Weidman explain to woodley why gsp fought bisping at mw instead of him at ww when it is the exact same angle woodley is trying to shoot.

The fact that there were so many finishes and no debatable or ridic decisions was nice too.

If TJ wins this will be another top 10 card ever for me, if Cody wins i'll still be up but it'll just be a small-medium amount

Still haven't bet the main but my gut says GSP wins for some reason, I feel like i'll know during the walkouts i've gone back and forth on it so many times.

Re: Rose if she wants Rousey-level fame she needs to grow her hair back. It's stupid and shallow, but being hot still matters as far as being a draw is concerned in WMMA and Rose is hot with hair and isn't without. She has the potential to be a superstar though if she can put a Joanna-like streak of defenses together

I want to see Cody Nodad Necktat get knocked out cold so badly right now i'm going to mark out if TJ beats him entirely separately from my bet.

Cody and TJ both look so confident like the idea they could lose isn't even possible. The winner of this rivalry is going to rule BW in the post-Cruz era (i'd love to see Cruz win the belt back but his days are numbered due to his body)
But then she wouldn't be Rose... Also, quite happy for her after Joanna's shameful comments about her abusive past, there is a line (and I personally draw it pretty far) and she crossed it.

Pretty sure GSP is not staying at MW after his post-fight comments. He avoided challenging Whitaker , though I do remember something about him saying he has to fight at MW if he wants to stay in the UFC. What will most likely happen is that he's going to vacate the belt (make a new deal with UFC), they are going to upgrade Whittakers interim belt into the real belt and GSP will fight Woodley (or go to LW and fight Conor?).

Wonderboy could have a wormhole straight to the top of the MW division, since he beat Whittaker in 2014. If Whittaker can't get the GSP fight, he might want that rematch. The risk/reward for Wonderboy would be better than fighting more WW killers with no title shot in sight. Whittaker did all the heavy lifting for Wonderboy by beating Brunson, Souza and Romero.

Wonderboy vs Wonderbob 2

What a great card that was.

Slightly losing one for me with the big bet on Bisping.
But Vick and Dillashaw coming through meant it wasn't that painful.
