    Eh, I didn’t say that he was perfect, just that he’s objectively better than Rogan is - especially when paired with Cormier (who I really like).

    The Rocky comparison is a tricky one, because the man’s crowning achievement is winning the title after being dominated and dragged back into the fight by his coach. I think the Belal fight surprised a lot of people, especially since Leon is no slouch on the ground. As a grappler myself I’m always going to back the wrestler, but I can see why Bisping would back Leon.

    My issue with UFC above most MMA promotions is that it’s becoming more and more like WWE with every passing year. I wonder sometimes if it’s the commentators, or what they’re being told to push by Dana and co.

      We are definitely in agreement on this part.
