A strong fight on paper, sure, but a fight that was simply bad news and never should’ve happened.

Michael Bisping replaced Anderson Silva on short notice in the main event in Shanghai, just three weeks after getting beaten up by GSP. While some American commissions may’ve had issues, ”The Count” was given permission to fight by the UFC as they self-regulate in China where there aren’t any commissions overseeing them.

It’s probably safe to assume that the British fighter was not fit to fight and one could sense that he was bound to lose. Low and behold, Gastelum went on knocked him out with a vicious left hook and Bisping simply had no business being in the octagon that night.
