Rashad needs to fight someone on his own level - and at this point that would need to be someone like Brad Scott.

lol that's harsh. I'm very confident that Evans was a juicer, it's realistically the only thing that explains such a steep decline.

Bisping is shot though, chin is gone. He could definitely catch and finish him with something, he's still got enough power left to flick Bisping's switch.

Rashad's decline is due to age and having no legs. His knees are wrecked.

Rashad is P4P the most boring fighter in the UFC right now. *** are they thinking making him headline an event in the year 2018. No one wants to see him throw a total of 10 punches in 5 rounds. Im just hoping for a finish so we don't have to snooze for 25 minutes

Bisping's chin is gone cause he got KO'd once in over 5 years with a brutal perfectly placed punch?I wouldn't put too much stock into that.His chin seems the same as it always been.I can't stand the new if someone gets ko'd once their chin is gone,I heard this a lot about Daniel fricken' Cormier lol.

No dude, Bisping's chin is hitting it's end, as do most aging fighters. It wasn't just the Gastelum KO, Bisping's  last couple of fights he was rocked more often or put away. You could even argue Hendo beat him and it would've saved the division a lot of headache because Hendo wouldn't have held onto the title and let Romero, Rockhold or Whittaker and Jacare fight for the vacant title.

This is Prize-Fighting. If thinking about contenders gives you a headache...this isn't for you. 

Its basically the best problem you could possibly have in Prize-fighting..too many deserving contenders.

Kuma mate I definitely wouldn't say that of Cormier, he ate a flush head kick right behind the ear that would have dropped anybody. Bisping got slept in the opening moments of the first against Gastelum, and prior to that got basically flashed by GSP of a hook...and GSP is anything but a power puncher. He was also KO'ed by Belfort in 2013.

And he got rocked and destroyed the first time by Rockhold, rocked and arguably KO'd by Anderson Silva, pretty badly hurt on the feet by Thales Leites, his age has been showing.

First Rockhold fight was relatively close prior to the stoppage. Even if you think otherwise, Bisping still handled Rockhold far more convincingly in the rematch ;) 

As for Anderson - no arguable KO. He was very clearly never KO'd. He was knocked down violently at the bell as he let his guard down because Herb Dean's dumbass made him think he was stopping the fight so he could put his mouthpiece back in. But he was still very much conscious despite having had half of his face sliced open.

Leites landed some good shots. Bisping was hardly ever "pretty badly hurt". I legit watched that fight two days ago. It's for sure Bisping's most controversial recent win, that part I'd never argue against. But Bisping wasn't really 'badly hurt' at all throughout. 

Stop.

@ImperatorFishrat

GSP had harder Punch then both rampage, Shogun and Cain when they tested it.  GSP punches hard and always has, he just rarely through all his power into his shots.  That however was not the case in the Bisping fight. GSP was throwing power shots most of that fight. So to say GSP does not have power is inaccurate. He just rarely used his power, but he does have good power and he was throwing it in the bisping fight. In fact GSP coach came out and said they spent the last four years working on GSP ability to finish. That he was throwing with power through out that time.  That he had been dropping people in sparring.  So I don't think that fair to suggest GSP does not have power in my opinion.

What?  I think you completely misunderstood what MikeG was saying. Your comment makes no sense in the contexts of what Mike or anyone else was saying.

I can see Rashad retiring if he wins - but no way if he loses, even if the UFC cuts him.
