Damn, a lot of Bisping love here. Somebody has to be that dick. Why not me?
Bisping's probably taking the Gastelum fight cause he believes it's another easy win for him against a bloated welterweight. I seriously doubt he'd be fighting in 3 weeks if it was a true top 5 middleweight. I just don't see him coming back that quick against guys like Romero or Jacare.
In Bisping's mind, Hendo was supposed to be easy cause he was old. Meanwhile, he almost got stopped again, took an ugly beating, and got what many of us though was a gift decision. GSP was supposed to be easy cause he was a welterweight who hadn't fought in years & wasn't a finisher towards end of his reign. Then GSP knocks him on his ass & chokes Bisping to sleep.
With Gastelum, he thinks he has another easy match-up against another welterweight. This time one with diet/discipline issues. Gastelum got popped for weed, & Bisping seems to have a hard-on for weed smokers. He probably thinks it makes Gastelum mentally weak.
Bisping is sensitive and likes to project his own insecurities onto his opponents. He pushes a guy like GSP and then throws a bitch fit about GSP pushing him back. He complains that GSP wanted to fight him cause he was an easy fight, yet he's the guy who avoided most of the top contenders. He looks down on cannabis users but admits to being a heavy drinker.
I'm actually surprised that all he's said so far on Gastelum's Instagram was 'the loser buys the beer'. Let's hope that he behaves and doesn't embarrass himself again.
