Paid Members Chunk Posted October 4, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 4, 2016 Henderson has looked pretty shit for a couple of years now though, hasn't he? The only way he beats Bisping is with a lucky shot, for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WeeAl Posted October 4, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 4, 2016 The first embedded episode for 204 is up. Really looking forward to this fight, amd only a few days to go now. I'd put it in here if I could figure out how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way he beats Bisping is with a lucky shot, for me.  Didn't seem to be much luck involved in the headkick/elbow combination that starched Hector Lombard a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not likely to get caught the way Lombard did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members lambyUK Posted October 4, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 4, 2016 Here's the episode. Bisping's son Lucas really is hilarious picking against his Dad. Bisping's reaction really is fantastic. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members lambyUK Posted October 4, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 4, 2016 Apologies for the double post, but it seems that from UFC 204 that we finally will be getting the UFC ON FOX post fight shows live straight after the PPV.  Hopefully it's not just a one off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theringmaster Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 His son picked both Silva and Rockhold to beat him also, maybe his lucky charm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

textonly Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Bisping's fight IQ is much higher than that of Lombard though, isn't it? He's not likely to get caught the way Lombard did. Â I know what you mean to an extent - Bisping is generally a smart fighter - but wasn't the big story of the last Hendo-Bisping fight that Bisping kept circling towards Hendo's power hand against all advice and conventional wisdom? It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. On one hand he should have learned his lesson and should be fighting from distance and being patient, but on the other he may be riding a wave of confidence after dusting Rockhold, he may be amped up by the home crowd and he may think Hendo's a bit faded since they last fought. I'd honestly say it's 50/50 as to whether Bisping fights smart or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bisping who fought Hendo, Wanderlei, Leben and Rashad is a world away from the BIsping of today in my opinion. Â I don't see him making the same mistakes as he did back then. That's not to say that Henderson can't win of course, but I don't see Bisping making it anywhere near as easy for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
METAL ON METAL Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 For anyone going to the open workouts today, the location has been moved. It's now at the actual Arena instead of the Trafford Centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 5, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 5, 2016 I don't see him making the same mistakes as he did back then. That's not to say that Henderson can't win of course, but I don't see Bisping making it anywhere near as easy for him. I agree. And not only has Bisping improved since the first fight, Henderson has sharply declined. Hendo was in the form of his career around the time of the Bisping fight at UFC 100. He's far removed from that now. He's still got that knockout punch and he's fucking fearless so he's always dangerous. But he's slower and more banged up and he's been through a shitload of wars and injuries since 2009. Â If he connects clean, Hendo can beat anyone. And I'm including heavyweights in that. His power is brutal. But it's all about timing for me and although Bisping's got a lot of miles on the clock now himself, he's in much better form than Hendo.

That's one of the best things they've ever produced. I can't recommend that documentary highly enough. Such a great story. Absolutely outstanding. It did the perfect job of getting me excited for Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
