Always hated Bisping since he robbed Matt Hamill but damn if I wasn't cheering for the guy with that upset. He worked for it, he hung in there, he believed in himself, his dream came true. Good on Bisping.

Hunt seems like a great guy. I am a fan of Rockhold's skills but he needs to take personality cues from someone like Hunt.

Sat down and listened to the entire 2 hour thing with Helwani. Kind of want my 2 hours back and feel like he could have summed it up in a couple of minutes, but it is what it is. I'm not really surprised that the UFC is that controlling, and I think we've all known that for years now.

I understand it has to be rough for him, but I thought about stopping this a couple of times, mostly due to getting tired of listening to him get choked up over a 2 our period.

A bunch of people on my timeline freaked out over hearing that the UFC was paying him or something and now seem to understand why he was booted.

Helwani is really tough to listen to. Those pauses he does constantly are really agrivating
I don't think I've ever listened to his show all the way through. Just the pertinent snippets cut out, a few minutes here or there. Then his time interviewing or reading an article he's written.

The pauses didn't really bother me, but I can see how they might.

Dunno if that was a"Pls don't retire, Hendo"or more of a"Well, since you're retiring, here you go"

It would be fucking wild if they give Hendo the next title shot against Bisping. He'd have a legit shot at a belt before he retires and Bisping would get the chance to redeem his KTFO from that TUF season.

I was just coming to post about the story of him being hospitalized. The only thing I found was they said "it doesn't look good". Crazy if he is dead already
