Some good fights. Dillishaw with the comeback and Namajunas with the big upset. GSP is a beast though. His next match up will be awesome, if he stays Middleweight he takes on Whittaker. If he goes back down to welterweight he has to face Woodley. Either fight will be epic.

He's going to drop back down to 170. I think. If he sticks around. They may try and super fight him with McGregor. That would be a big money fight.

This would be a huge fight, but I do not see it happening. GSP packed on a lot of muscle and he can probably get to 170, but I dont know how much lower he could get. Connor ran out of gas when he moved up weights and I do not see him fighting GSP at anything above like 155. If they do happen to fight the lead up will be interesting GSP wont get into the trash talk. As for the fight itself Connor will be faster, but GSP may be able to keep him at bay with the jab. If GSP gets a hold of him then its pretty much over. I think the next fight will be GSP vs Woodley. I dont see GSP losing this one. I think 170 is a tough weight for Woodley to make and will gas out easy due to being malnourished. Plus Woodley is pretty bulky and those types of builds usually gas out easy. I think Whittaker will be the much tougher fight.
I had 2 of the 3 title fights picked correctly. I did not see Thug Rose doing JJ like she did. That was an impressive *** beating. Thug Rose was methodical about the way she beat that ***. There should be a rematch but I honestly don't know that you book an immediate rematch after a first round KO.
I had TJ by finish over Cody. I felt that TJ lost his belt by a whisker to Cruz and when Cody dominated Cruz it was because Cruz tries to point fight and doesn't have the firepower in his hands to finish with strikes. TJ has straight lead in his hands and even though he got caught to end round 1 he recovered and ate Cody up. He's a superior fighter with better footwork. Cody needs more work before he should get another title shot. I would love to see a champ v champ TJ v Mighty Mouse fight. That would be a HUGE card.
If anyone thought Bisping could beat GSP it would have to have been a boxing match....and then ******* Freddie Roach shows up in GSP's corner!! Holy **** was that a shock to see. It shows that GSP had trained and put the time in to face a pure striker. I thought GSP took the first, Bisping the second and then in the third it was the GSP show. Bisping did some serious damage with elbows on his back. He kept GSP from passing guard and mucked him up really good. Gotta give Bisping credit for his defense there but GSP beat him at his own game with the knock down and then the choke out.
Bisping was fortunate to even get a title shot and I felt Dan Henderson had beat him by decision when they fought. Now what to do with GSP? Stay and fight Whittaker or drop down and fight Woodley? Either one of those two fights will be a huge main event and I guarantee they will place that card in Montreal for a big money gate. Personally, if TWood is back from his surgery or whatever injury treatment he had/has on his shoulder I think that's the fight you make. It puts GSP back down at 170 and keeps him away from some of the 185 lb monsters he could run into who are much larger than he is.

Dana says a lot of things, and then different things happen. Whittaker shredded his knee, he might be out for a while
