I didn’t forget.
That was back in the day and most were competitive fights.
Not nearly as egregious.

A chance to take the belt and ride off into the sunset after one of the greatest careers we have seen…
It was pretty bad.
Any meaningful exchange those 2 ever had, Hendo almost took his head off. The rest of the time was Bisping on his bike.
Put them in a room to fight to the death, and Hendo walks out 100/100 times – and Bisping damn well knows it.
Fuck that decision.

It was hilarious that even the old man version of Hendo nearly finished Bisping with a similar sequence to UFC 100. Legend.

Dm me. I dare you to send me your address.
To be fair to Bisping, by that point he only had one working eye…
That was the first 5 round Non Title ppv main event. Remember staying up till 6am watching despite having work at 10am. Was totally worth it, probably my favourite fight of all time. Still bugs me that it wasn’t a draw tho, Shogun having mount for 4mins in the final round should’ve been a 10-8 at least but back then it was 10-9 rounds for everything.

Damn you gonna fight me?
What a legend. Him KO’ing Wandy was arguably the most excited I have ever been watching a fight.

His first fight with Shogun Rua in the UFC was one for the ages. They were out to kill in that fight.

100%. That was an absolute war. Both fights were really.
Wandy never lost at MW in Pride so I think I was just so shocked when Hendo KO’d him. The walk out with the Hulk gloves on was also pretty awesome.

Remember Hendo’s prediction before the fight?
It kind of reminded me of Frank Shamrock’s pre-fight prediction vs Lober.
There was a time during Wandy’s historic run when he was asked who his toughest opponent was.
His response was Dan Henderson, and he said something like “when you fight him you’d better bring your lunch”.
This was prior to the second fight.
Something of a harbinger…

So damn good. What a beast Hendo was. I’m certainly biased based on my name but hands down my favorite fighter of all time.

Nothing wrong with that.
He’s definitely on the short list…

Like one of those kids who played too rough, only in adulthood!
