I actually don't mind Bisping, but I think he's going to get crushed by Rockhold. They already fought once in the UFC, no? Too bad Souza got hurt - I think he's the one who really deserves the title shot.
The most hilarious thing I saw was about Urijah Hall saying that Rockhold was ducking him. Wtf - the guy is coming off of a loss to a non-T5 ranked fighter (on top of some lackluster fights) and he thinks he deserves a title shot?

I'm a Rousey fan too. You also have to remember that Cyborg is physically way bigger than Rousey also. Plus there's that whole PED use thing (which you could really hear in her voice in the post fight interview).
I know people always say they could tell, but I thought the fight was going to end quickly. Neither Werdum nor Miocic were really moving their head around and against someone with Miocic's power, you can't just stand in front of him and let him go to town on your face. When he started landing those clean unanswered hits, I knew it was going to be lights out soon for Werdum.
Heavyweights don't really excite me because of their general slow pace of fights and gassing out, but I bet Velasquez gets the next shot if he beats Browne.
On a side note, anyone see that DJ signed an 8 fight contract with the UFC? I'm a huge fan of him and actually follow his Twitch stream as well. It's pretty cool to see him talk pretty candidly about fighting while he's playing video games.
