Why did Bisping make it so easy for Hendo? Just an off-night or is he just mediocre?

Thats an understatement; he subbed Henderson and Lutter.

 

Alot of people laugh at his BJJ credentials but personally i think there solid. Lutter has solid BJJ and Silva schooled him. Albeit that fat ass got tired.

 

I used to be one of those people.

Then he did in 2 rounds what it took 2 nog brothers 3 fights to do.

 

Bisping is just not good..an average Joe who trained hard. How can you not telegraph a looping right hand like that.. The man is showing you whats coming from a mile and hes telling you that its the only thing coming w/o much speed and with haymaker trajectory and get hit like that?

BAsically Hendo toyed with him with the right

Pure grabage, just goes to prove anyone who trained may not become a UFC champ but certainly can make it into the octagon if pursued enough

 

Good post, especially considering your a new fan.

I seen this as a 50/50 fight TBH, I was always impressed with Bisping, Ive never seen him on the level of a Penn, Fedor, Silva or St Pierre but always a good fighter that can handle himself & able to compete with anyone without being embarassed.
I thought Henderson was there for the taking, he hasnt looked quite the same in UFC as he did in pride but what a shock, not Hendo winning of course, the WAY it happened, Bisping has always took a shot quite well & despite Dan having a notoriously dangerous right hand, his strength is wrestling.

I think Bisping did have an off night TBH but Im not sure he beats Dan on a great night either.

He`s still young, he still has a future, he can defo come back if he is mentally strong enough, time will tell us.

 

If you mean WANDERLEI Silva, then he would be more than a live threat, he`d KO him like he did last time, Wand is shot, tho when they met in their prime Wand won convincingly, handing Dan his 1st defeat.
Wanderlei is the better primes fighter, he proved that, he will & should rank higher than Dan on an ATG MMA list, 5 yrs unbeaten as Pride champion. He`s shot to **** now tho.

If you mean ANDERSON Silva, then not so much, I mean, Dan will always be a threat to anyone under HWT but Andy Silva outclassed him & chocked him out last time & I think he whips Dan`s ass 9 times out of 10 TBH.

:good

 

The Nogueira brothers gave Silva his black belt.

The HWT Nog (my fav fighter but is on the slide now:|) probably has the best BJJ in all of MMA, I dont mean he`s better at BJJ than say BJ Penn but IMHO nobody applies their BJJ to work as effectively in an MMA fight than Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.

If those guys teach you BJJ to suit MMA then you`ve learned from the best & Silva learned from the best, believe me.

 

If you catch the replay, youd hear Hendo yelling, "Mike heres a big right coming! Thats all im throwing!"

Again what a joke of a fight, Hendo didnt even attempt a takedown (and no hes not afraid of Bispings average JJ) He didnt want to take him down because he didnt need to, he toyed with him.

 

i think bisping made it easier for him circling right to hendersons power hand,but i think bisping bit off more than he could chew.....hendo is a big fight for anyone

 

Agreed, the version that fought Fedor 3 times without coming close to being stopped & subbed just about everyone else in Pride is easily the 2nd greatest HWT in MMA history, he was fast & sharp as a razor, he sees punches & kicks far too late now but up until the Mir fight his enormous heart & great chin bought him enough time to produce one of his wizardry submissions.

Im still hoping he can come back (just as I do with Morales, when will I ever learn ? :-() & sub Lesnar or Couture, a big name... but he looked shot to pieces last time out, I wont hold my breath.
