I didnt think Bisping would win before the fight tbh, until the bell rang for the start of the fight , then i thought Bisping might just knock Rockhold out , Rockhold was so static, no head movement , his chin was in the air and he was standing straight up, i think he thought a few kicks would get rid of Bisping, but he was there to be knocked out, it actually gave me pleasure to see it happen, i think he deserved to be knocked out for not respecting his opponent.
Interesting to see Brock will be back , looks like it might be for UFC 200 ,, and apparently McGregor v Diaz is back on, although i doubt it will be in time for 200.”
McGregor vs Diaz is on for 202.
The entire setup has worked out conveniently well for Dana; 200 will sell because of it's name and now has the extra security of Brock, whilst McGregor will be used to prop up a lesser PPV later down the line:
Personally I can see the next few PPV's going like this:
200- Jones vs Cormier
201- Lawler vs Woodley (Mighty Mouse co-main)
202- Diaz vs McGregor
203- Miocic vs Overeem (Tate/ Nunes vs Holm co-main)
204- Bisping defense in England
205 (MSG)- McGregor vs Edgar/ Aldo
206- Jones/Cormier vs Rumble
207- Ronda's return
