Holy ****. Unreal night of MMA. Three champs lost their belts tonight. The GOAT solidified his status tonight. Thug Rose won everybody's hearts. TJ becomes a two-time BW champ and makes the BW division very interesting.

What a year, I lost my grandma, had my 2nd child, bought my first house, got wisdoms removed, traveled to europe and GSP took the MW title, what a crazy year.

Good bye guys.

lol ok Green.

Predictions: 4 of 8 Winners, 1 Perfect, 255 Points   |   Tied for 1006th

The reality is GSP looked like an old man in there, it's just that Bisping looked worse. Unbelievable how much he has dropped off since the Rockhold fight.

I don't think at this point GSP can beat any of the top 3. Not whittaker, Not weidman, Not Romero.

Watch him stall forever before defendsing.

I don't blame GSP, I blame the UFC for booking this ****show.

The reality is that fight was a dumpster fire.

Predictions: 4 of 8 Winners, 1 Perfect, 255 Points   |   Tied for 1006th

Two old men going at it like two pensioners fighting over the last pound of honey baked ham at the deli.

I'm sure they'll sell this as a Cinderella story, but in truth, GSP looked like an old man in there and is going to get annihilated by anyone in the top 3. Even Gastelum would smoke him if he were still in the division.  Basically anyone with rudimentary TDD/grappling/wrestling skills will merk him.

Absolutely ******* god-awful booking by the UFC.. I don't blame GSP for pushing for it but this "sport" is really becoming a joke.

GSP is going to stall forever before fighting again. In fact I'll bet Whittaker gets shafted because they''re going to book another moneyfight between GSP and Mcgregor.

GSP winning this was the worst outcome for two divisions; LW, and MW.

GSP didn’t look great that’s for sure. He looked slow, stiff and Bisping was starting to take over. If he fights Bobby Knuckles it’ll be a horror show.

Easily 1 of the top five cards of the year imo. So much violence & drama from start to finish. Can't get over how Killashaw KOd No Love like that...unreal.

Watch, GSP says he can make 155 and does so against McGregor, takes McGregor's belt and then leaves the sport. Meanwhile, McGregor sees no other major payday on the horizon and leaves the sport. Woodley pouts the entire time this is going on and does not defend the belt. LW, WW, and MW all successfully screwed up.

I think I should be a fight promoter.

That would require mcgregor to defend a belt. Yet the same people say bisping ducked tittle defences when really Whittaker got injured

GSP is the GOAT!!



This card was amazing! I picked like ****, but my god was it amazing!

My favourite moment of the night was surprisingly not GSP's sub, but it was the second after he landed his first punch on Bisping. You saw him for a brief moment crack a smile like it finally clicked that he is back doing what he loves. GSP was the one that got me into the sport, like many Canadian fans I'm sure, I was disappointed when he announced his hiatus, but accepted it because he had given us all so much entertainment over the years! Seeing him smile in the cage made me smile!

Thank you, Georges!
