    Reminded me of something that Mirko would have pulled off in his prime.

    Epic stuff.

    Looks like Bisping was expecting the leg kick and immediately blocked low.
    I on the other hand, are a master at stating the obvious..ha ha....

    I think he went to parry the left straight.

    There was some telegraphing via Belfort's head tilt, but Bisping didn't react correctly to avert the devastation.

    Now thats what I call a double healthy sized portion of shin sandwich! A beautifully timed kick made perfect by Bisping's last moment head movement into the oncoming hellfire just as Belfort adds that tiny bit more power with his own head dip.

    I agree with Primate and Spider, it looks like he wasn't expecting any kind of kick at all. A kick should never be parried or taken on the arms unless absolutely unavoidable. Accumulation over a couple of rounds will drop your hands make it hard to throw or can accumulate into a stoppage.

    Vitor looked huge last night. Bisping didnt have much of a chance.

    Good catch! Looks like you're right, he slaps Belfort's elbow, slips to the right, and the rest is history.

    Noticed that too, the guy looked like a monster! Also been going psycho at every opportunity like the stare down, then going nuts calling out Sonnen, not like Vitor to be going this mental. Roid rage? I dunno, perhaps he was just in the zone and saw this as last chance saloon so got revved up and decided it was all or nothing and trained like a mad man, and brought that mentality to the cage.

    Still, nice head kick though. Bisping is a little further away now from that elusive title shot once again.

    He's been on gear his entire career. Obviously on some good juice vs Bisping. Sure his taken something to pass the athletic commissions tick box.
