I really didn't expect that from Jon. Classy move on Jones' part.

GSP wants to pretend he's coming back, let him fight Bisping and maybe they'll both retire afterwards.
Belts mean nothing in the UFC, all I care about is fights and GSP/Bisping is a solid fight that interests me.
Also, pretty easy to blame Dana, but I'm willing to bet it's GSP doing all the work here ... I'm pretty sure he sees Bisping as way more beatable for him than Woodley and is angling for this fight like a muh'******.

The devaluation of the belts is a massive problem IMO, as the UFC is considered as the gold standard for MMA and thus to be a champion in the UFC means you are one of the best fighters in the world. If the UFC belts are worthless, then there is no point to having belts in the first place. Now granted the UFC has hurt the prestige of the belts by making so many interim championships, but still.

you don't blame fighter for higher ups decisions? Then *** have you been doing for last several months *****ing constantly about bisping, when the UFC first was going to make this fight? Feels like you quite often like to blame the fighters, but simply pick and choose based on if you like the fighter or not. Your giant hypocrite when it comes to anything concerning bisping.
