Another really good night of fights. With so many fighters on the roster now it is hard to know who is who at times. But there was no mistaking who was fighting on this night. Another really good card for "free" fight night. Here is a link to give you details if you missed it. It looks like for those who follow the sport, the UK fans should be very proud of Michael Bisping and what he has accomplished.
Bisping now with the belt, is looking to even the score with long time veteran Dan Henderson who Knocked Bisping out cold with a huge over hand right that put Bisping out to the point his toes were curled up and backwards and he was as stiff as a board. Instead of circling away from his power hand he moved into it. And that cost him in the first fight.
I don't think that will be the case in the second. But those counting Henderson out due to his age would be wrong to do so. Bisping historically has had trouble with high level wrestlers, and Henderson is an Olympic world class wrestler with knockout power in both hands.
For the woman, Nunes is calling out Rhonda Rousey. I don't see Rhonda beating anyone in the top three right now. You have Nunes the champ, then Pena, the woman from Poland who is amazing, Holly Holm, and Tate who I think all can now beat Rhonda. Tate is a different fighter now, and was able to pull off the upset against Holm when she was down all four rounds going into the fifth when she was able to take Holly's back and sink in the choke.
Nunes brings everything into the cage. She can hit with both hands, black belt in Jits, Muay Thai is strong, and has a good power double. Rhonda can not compete with this woman. However, the other woman I mentioned can. Tate got caught early and her nose was broke. She continued for a while, but you cant go far when your nose is shattered.
Connor and Nate will be coming up soon as I am sure this fight will go much further but unfortunately I believe with the same result. Nate is just to big, and far to much experience, and most importantly, he has a world class ground game. You cant be champ without a ground game such as Jits. Not for long anyway.
Some great fights coming up. For those who don't know, Jones will be out for at least two years, and I would not be surprised if his career is done along with his legacy now. I wish he had better advisers around him. His brother who is in the NFL was also accused of using PED's and it may appear big brother was not watching out for his little brother John.
Brock Lesner also tested for PED's and he is certainly done for good. Jones at least has a shot in two years to come back. But he will never dominate again.
