he seemed to be in deep water severly struggling to swim against Hendo. He was continuously circling left towards Hendo’s right hand, which he had mentioned being the real danger in pre fight interviews, even with his corner telling him not to on numerous occasions during and inbetween the first two rounds. I agree with the comments made that his boxing is good, he is an accurate puncher, but he doesnt have one punch KO power. Like others have said, that’s not something you can teach. You either have the heavy hands to finish guys quickly or you dont. Technique plays a part obviously, but you need the natural power.

I do however think the cheap shot from Hendo was pretty poor after the way he’d spoken about Bisping before the fight. He made Bisping out to be cocky and arrogant (which granted, is true), yet he made himself out to be the honorable one. To throw the shot in the way he did and then make the comments he did after the fight on his reason for doing so, threw everything pre fight out the window for me.

Something that pretty much no one has said, and quite honestly would make an excellent Judo Chop, was Hendo’s footwork in that fight. Bisping wasn’t able to circle to Hendo’s left because Dan was aggressively cutting off that angle. Too often, we see fighters chase someone who’s circling away as opposed to cutting off the cage. Hollywood was able to do that and that was a big, big reason why he won. Everyone says Bisping made the mistake circling to Dan’s right, but Dan was forcing him to do that with his footwork.
