What is GSP thinking? Bisping fought at LHW multiple times, most recently against Luke Rockhold.
If he thought BJ Penn's jab stung..
Bisping had to become a slugger to adapt to the times, he's a homerun hitter now.
Bisping's fist is bigger than GSP's head.
The sport is more ruthless now.
GSP used to sneak by being a nice guy. Nobody wanted to beat him up, because he was so friendly.
The last guy that fought GSP to basically a draw Johny Hendricks can't compete in the UFC @ 185 lbs.
GSP used to be extremely intimidating. His greatness is undeniable, nobody can take away his accolades or accomplishments, but let's be honest the aura of invincibility is gone.
Bisping is the dominant Champion. 5 straight wins since losing to Luke Rockhold, a next generational talent that would obliterate GSP with ease.
Can you imagine what Luke Rockhold would do to GSP?
GSP's fans mirror him, they're frontrunners, waiting around to see if Georges still has it, waiting around to see if they still have it themselves.
These guys stopped following the sport, because their Champion quit on them.
Now they're considering coming back, but only if their guy can win first.
"If I come back as the same Georges St. Pierre I used to be when I was very successful, I'm going to have a very bad night the night of the fight"
OP is correct. I'm a huge GSP fan. Dude is a hero for us French Canadians... but this is a horrible match up for him. He's going to get battered.
Bisping is gonna send GSP back to retirement. He should've taken the Silva fight back when he had the chance. The sport has passed him by.
At least Silva went out with dignity as the true GOAT.
GSP will pull it off
Hats off to Bisping. If he wins this his last 4 wins would be Silva, Rockhold, Henderson, and GSP. I don't give a fuck what any of the haters say that whos who list of fighters.

He fought Silva and Henderson way outside of their primes. Silva hadn't won a fight since 2012 and was in his 40's, and Dan Henderson was like 45.
He's been ducking competition. Refused to fight Romero. Now he wants to fight a welterweight who hasn't fought in 4 years who is also outside of his prime. Whittaker is the real champ.
