Bisping vs Hendo 2 - McGregor vs Diaz 2
Michael Bisping vs Dan Henderson 2 for the UFC Middleweight champion!
Heard this was announced recently by Bisping on his SiriusXM radio show. The venue is Manchester England at UFC 204 in early October 2016.
Ageless Hendo coming off a solid win over Hector Lombard and Bisping defending his title for the first time since his underdog victory of a cocky Luke Rockhold.
Unsure if Hendo can repeat his first brutal ko performance win over Bisping from 7 yrs ago but his tank of a overhand sledgehammer doesn't seem to be losing any power! Then again, Bisping proved in his second chance victory over Rockhold that he learns from his mistakes. Hope its a good fight.
Any Hendo fans and Bisping haters out there? Might be Hendos last fight....
Oh and if anyone is interested, McGregor and Diaz have their second fight at UFC 202 in a couple of weeks...

I have always liked bisping ever since the he was in the Ultimate Fighter house. He is just a hard worker who never gave up and I could not believe when he won the title. If he can erase his brutal KO and beat henderson to defend his title he will really leave his mark on the sport. He certainly is not one of the greats but he is a work horse. I would love to see him beat dan. Its a real pickem fight for me though....

I Never Really liked Bisping's attitude. He Is A Tough Fighter no doubt though. Hendo Is Getting Old But The Last Thing A Fighter Loses Is His Punching Power. As For Mcgregor And Diaz Would Like To See Diaz Finish Him Again, Mcgregor is a good fighter but I think he is overrated.

hahahah Bispings such a polarising character. Most either love him or can't stand him. Either way, hes a cardio machine and now the mw champ!
@LittleTom: I agree bro, I was amazed when he beat Rockhold and bloody stoked. Bispings been around for 10 year and had plenty of opportunities but always fallen at the last hurdle and lost key fights (Hendo, Wand, Kennedy, Sonnen, Belfort, Rockhold) was great to see him win the title - hard earned!
@Muscle91: I agree man. I think half the problem with McGregor is his fan base. Most have no idea about MMA and subscribe to the belief that "Connor is God! Connor is God!", then troll the internet spewing their dribble with a deep down belief that he could beat GSP and Jon Jones in the same cage at the same time with both hands tied behind his back! lol
Connors dam talented (@ 145lb) but hes one dimensional and relies heavily on his punching accuracy and power - with every step up in weight class that power deminishes and becomes less of an asset so i hope McGregor has learnt his lesson from their first fight and applies more of a strategy then simply trying to KO Diaz with one punch!
Also, I know Connors been working hard on ju jitsu with Dillon Danis (black belt under Marcelo Garcia) but it would take years and years of training to catch the Gracie black belt Diaz. A full training camp for Diaz should see a repeat result of their first fight.

Also, I read the main event fight will take place at about 4am in the morning Manchester time, this is to suit the American tv audience. Not too sure how UK fans feel about this but jeez thats a tough ask to stay up that late..... the event will probably kick off around 11pm....

I think Hendo has a few left in him to beat Bisping. At the rate these belts are changing hands, I expect a Hendo victory but I simply don't see him keeping it long. His time is short in the sport, age catching up and all. But with all that, he can beat Bisping.
I think both Diaz brothers are great. Really. I am curious though if Connor was just too cocky or Nate is just that good. I want Nate to win. I think Nate should win.

Had a mate messaging me all day yesterday jizzing himself over the ufc 202 pre fight press conference.
"Tyson"....."Tyson"....."iron Mike Tyson"...."madness". I had no idea what he was on about but just assumed Mike Tyson had made an appearance and koas somehow ensued. Not really the Mike Tyson 2016 but he had my interest.
So yeah, i wasn't sure what to expect but nevertheless based on his excitement I was rather looking forward to watching it.
IMHO it was a bit of a fizzer. The talking point is the final four or so minutes and even that didn't live up to my mates hype - hes one of those McGregor fan boys constantly overhyping everything Conor!
Anyway heres the full presser:

Bispings going to walk all over Hendo. Hendo has way too many miles on him at this point imo.
