You do NOT stop striking or cranking down a submission until told to stop by the referee. Hendo immediately got off of Bisping when instructed to so no foul there.

Lesnar is an idiot but it's hard to think of anyone beating him. And that hurts me to say.

GSP always makes guys look bad. It's even worse when the opponent's strength is listed as "good takedown defense" and he ends up on his back over half the fight. Give him about 9-10 months to beef up a bit and then let him try out 185 against someone like Leben before talking about Silva.

Great night of fights and even better when preceded by the Top 100 Fights show.

No technical foul, sure, but we all knew the guy was out when he hit floor. Henderson knew it, and even admitted as much in his post-fight interview. The ref obviously knew it because he was lunging in to stop him before the second hit landed, he just didn't get there in time. It was totally unnecessary and unnecessarily dangerous. If by freak accident the guy had died from the knockout hit, that would've been a simple tragedy that's expected to happen in a sport like this on rare occasions. If he had died from the second, I would hope Henderson would get at least a civil suit for it. It was ridiculous.

I totally agree. Everyone keeps talking about how unprofessional Brock was after his fight and how it makes MMA and UFC look bad. I think that the second elbow that Henderson through was at the pinnacle of unprofessianal. He easily could have killed Bisping with that elbow. Henderson is a professional fighter and has knocked many people out. He KNEW Bisping was out when he his the floor from the first punch.

Are you kidding me? It's easy to say that when you're watching the highlights in slow motion but once Hendo got airborne there was no stopping him. In addition there was nothing illegal about his actions since fighters are to keep fighting until the referee stops the fight.

Last but not least, I'm aware of what Hendo said in the post-fight interview with Joe Rogan but it's quite obvious Hendo wasn't even aware of his actions til he saw the big screen himself and said what he said to add fuel to the fire of his Bisping feud.
