    Bisping's chin is shot, any sort if punch scares the **** out of him. Which is why he's always fighting from the outside and afraid to sit on his punches. I don't see his ufc career lasting much longer.

    Not to parrot Rogan, but that was an instructional video on hip and elbow escapes from mount by Bisping.

    Im not sure it was PRIDE that even put him on a pedastal. He had alot of support amongst the Asian fans because of his heritage but the guy never fought anyone of any note even in PRIDE. Iv never truly understood what all the fuss was about with him.

    He put together some fair wins in Pride in Ninja and Suluev, but most of the hype comes from his run in Spirit MC, a Korean org that is good but not great.

    Props to Bisping. I found myself supporting him when the bell went. Couldn't help myself. Bisping went after Kang like he said he would. He didn't run around like a *****. He got sparked with the right hand. His jujitsu escaping techniques were brillant. A real joy to watch. He lost the round but came out physically unscathed. The next round, he went for the takedowns, GNP, it was brillant. He had killer instinct.

    Really great to see him partially overcome his mental demons (which I believe he has). Kang isn't Henderson but he isn't a journeyman. I hope he can maintain his approach against Silva and co.

    I don't think Bisping has the durability to stand up as much as he does. I think he needs to use his wrestling and jj more. However they do need to improve. He is right though, Britain is about boxing, kickboxing, maybe a little judo. Now BJJ and wrestling is becoming more widespread in the uk. Hell, I was reading in fighting fit that we've even got a gracie.

    I really enjoyed it actually. Wilks v Brown was good. Winner's hands looking winning :) Pearson looked brillant and a I felt like he was a little GSP. Bisping showed balls and bounced back (off the canvas) almost literally. Couture and Vera was the only down point really but even then Couture has is on Hopkins level. ANYTHING he does to get the W is amazing.

    You don't just have A Gracie in England you have the best, Roger. His Judo game has improved because of it.
