Comments
They get to make up a title for Canada but I cant get a UFC in Maine, come on Dana, hook a brotha up
I agree with Bisping, no one really cares about flyweights.
At least we all prefer watching fights of bigger weight classes like WW, MW LHW and HW...
This flyweight title fight should have been co main event ,and Bisping vs Stann a 5round Main event
Maine - 1.3 million people , Toronto and GTA 12 million - do the math brutha.
Sick card but let's see what fights are actually happening when it comes, I find it hard to get excited for cards from a long time off - too uch chance of injuries.
In what world is MacDonald vs. Penn not a co-main event?
Bisping looked smaller than the "poison midgetts" after that shelacking by Benavedez and the comments by Stan.
He's becoming a cartoon character. I'm sure he'll resort to his "why is everyone picking on me" line next.
Bisping the tool gets SERVED by Benavidez.
