MMA Thread

So I am torn on the Bisping vs Henderson fight. I mean we all know Henderson doesn't deserve a title shot, but I will be damned if I am not pulling for him. Would be awesome to see him KO Bisping, get the UFC title, and retire in the same night. That being said, I think Henderson is going to get beat up. Dude is just way too slow and a full on 1 trick pony now. Plus he doesn't even have the chin to save him like he once did.

So is this their new way of doing the post fight conference? Bring out 1 fighter at a time?

I suppose it makes sense. This way it gets started sooner so you don't have to wait for every fighter to be ready, and fighters don't have to sit around staring at the ceiling when there are no questions for them.

@Mario Speedwagon would you mind giving Shonuff this lovely new avatar for the next month?

Listen, I can totally respect him giving it a try, but he has no business being in the UFC right now. He is in for name recognition only, and that is it. There is no other person on the face of the planet that would have been given a chance to fight in the UFC as their professional debut when they have zero experience. And no, WWE does not count as actual experience in fighting.

He won't ever have a successful MMA career, and not because he won't try hard or isn't athletically gifted. He is 37 years old, has only been training for 2 years, and beyond these 2 years of training has no real combat sports background. No wrestling, no boxing, no BJJ, no kickboxing, nothing.

On the topic of WWE. I haven't watched it since I was a little kid, just because I find it pretty silly. However, how was he such a big name? I thought all the best guys were giants like The Rock and Brock Lesnar? Do they have weight classes there too?
