    Kennedy was also a much bigger fighter. Besides Henderson, who wasn't really trying to take him down, this is the first fighter Bisping has faced in a while that wasn't his size or bigger. You would have to go back to Cung Le, another guy who wasn't really trying to take him down. Plus, I don't know how I would feel about a GSP who was 15-20 pounds bigger in natural weight haven't never fought. There is a reason he never ventured above 170. Not saying he couldn't beat MWs then or now, but the landscape at 185 is much different than 2013 and some of his inherent advantages go away. GSP was a tremendous fighter, but I don't think he is THAT much more skilled than Bisping to overcome a layoff after some of his skills that put him over the top already eroded. A lot of that could be passion related, but I doubt anyone is trying to have tough moments in fights. He could beat Bisping, but I think we should also prepare for GSP look like a fighter who might be a little past his prime.

    or Misha took less money.

    He could be Jacare and Yoel in the division that fight is occurring. The likelihood of Georges fighting him was slim and this was the fight they were working on so I mean...shit could be worse. I mean the fact he is headlining a show after a lot of (stupid) people thought a replay of the Marquardt fight would play out in last two fights is a testament to MMA in general. If he wins this weekend, it's only going to contribute to his case for getting a big marquee fight.

    Situations like this are intriguing because I don't think the UFC would (or should) get into a place where everyone who gets a long sanction is granted a release from their contract. What's the point of suspending someone if they aren't under UFC contract for most of the suspension length anyway? On top of that, the UFC has to define what a sanction or suspension is beyond you sit out for X number of months. I mean someone like Barnett had some flexibility BEFORE he got suspended. However, I don't think they're going to let Barnett be a full time indie or pro wrestler just because he's suspended. I think folks should be able to make money while on the shelf, but something has to register with the UFC that their fighters should not doing other contact sports full time while still under contract and under suspension. Letting someone do a grappling fight every now and then is fine. A pro wrestling match here and there is fine. However, letting people be transferred to another sports endeavor while under suspension for cheating makes no sense at all.

    My guess would be August or September, but that might be the International Fight Week headliner. I think they would want to see how Cormier/Rumble II goes before trying to see if they can have the winner fight JBJ. The fight is in early to mid April, but that's pushing it in terms of trying to promote a fight that might not happen for various reasons.

    Given 205 is sort of a targeted division for ACB, he could make some money depending on his feelings on accepting money from Chechen warlords. However, if you're staunch defender of catching PED users, I dunno if Russia (or Japan as mentioned in Meltzer's article) is the place to be fighting.

    If you ever want to remember why MMA is banned in Lebanon, Carlos Condit is your trivia answer.

    According to Karim Zidan, his father was never a cornerman. FWIW, his cousin Frodo Khasbulaev also couldn't get a visa. Although, that's not really surprising considering that was the reason behind his career stateside being cut short.

    Apparently, Maia vs. Gamebred has been added to the Nashville card.

    Besides all his other work, Frailty is one of my favorite movies.

    Brian Collette replaced Zack Mwekassa in the Glory LHW contender tournament on short notice. As you can see, things did not go well.

    I had Carla and Mutante winning, but I thought Lombard lost fair and square. Hendricks was way more effective than Lombard as the fight went on. Lombard let him jab away and just kept following him.
