i’m always wondering how come certain fighters are quick to bleeding like chandler’s ear after that groundgame and this win s not deserved imho Henderson was the better on every level and not the first blood really losing my believe in the fairness of the UFC competition the last months ts clearly going downwoards just like this Bisping and mc Gregor if theze guyz represent ufc best ? sad level of quality its just the money and the quantty not the quality of the fighters thats count
