I'm re watching old seasons of TUF. I'm currently on Season 3, the one with Bisping. Its hilariousI bet Mighty mouse is shivering in his boots watching TUF (whatever number it is) )

It is comical.
The fights are definitely a much higher quality this season, but you just know that there is a pre-recorded segment from Dana for each and every fighter, making the case for how that guy is the perfect style/power/ground game/striking/whatever to give Johnson (who has already fought everyone without being stretched at all) a fight.
I'm not a big fan of fighters moving up chasing higher belts (I'm looking at you Conor) but in DJ's case I don't understand why he hasn't. He is utterly dominant at 125, considered a P4P great, and has fought at 135 before. McGregor is chasing that 2 belt status so hard, yet Johnson seems to have no interest. He could have legitimately called for a 135 shot ages ago.
In other news there's rumours of Moose vs Hall 2 headlining the Belfast card whic I think would be a great fight.
Tottally agree I also think they should cut half the rosta and have fewer but higher quality cards as lately they have been shockingly watered downIn my opinion I'd bin off 125 anyway and merge it with 135.

Me being me i'll have to bring the subject up again but what can I say to convince him that MMA is not all bad?
I was gonna rnc him at his desk until he went to sleep but I guess getting him to watch ufc 2 would at least keep me in employment.Tell him to watch UFC 2. That's the one I always show anyone that doubts the need for grappling. After they've admitted that grappling is important, they surely have to accept that mixing martial arts is the logical way forward. If your colleague isn't convinced of this after watching that, he's burying his head in the sand.
I doubt he'd even watch it, in case his Sensei found itRemember also that UFC 2 features a bout between 2 Karate fighters (Rhodes vs Ettish) both of whom have zero grappling experience. Within one minute, they've abandoned their Karate and are rolling around on the floor trying to learn grappling on the fly and failing badly. It'd be interesting to hear what your Karate workmate says about that.
Faber's fight against Brad 'No Wins' Pickett is going to be his last. He's retiring.
What a career. And going out on a guaranteed win against the worst fighter in the UFC (aside from Joanne Calderwood).

That would be a very winnable fight for GSPBisping claims that he has signed to fight GSP at UFC 206 in Toronto. Says he is waiting for GSP to agree.
No word on whether it's for the belt or just another "superfight" that the new owners are so keen on.
I'm not saying it would be easy but it's certainly less risky than some of the fighters being spoken aboutI'm not so sure.
Bisping has always had great takedown defence, he would have a major size advantage and GSP hasn't fought in 3 years.
