I like Bisping and DC but they definitely both have biased commentary at times. The whole UFC has commentary has biased opinions at times. I'd say John Anik is the most neutral and professional

[@youknow2849]

That's because he's the analytical commentator, it's the color commentators like Joe DC and Mike

[@jagaloon14]

Justin was phenomenal tonight. This is the best performance of his career by a long shot. I bet on Fiziev thinking the speed and technical ability would outmatch Gaethje but now I quite literally believe that if you’re not fighting at a pace that will both drain yourself and him, and you’re able to outlast, he will win. Love gaethje fights, been a fan, never the biggest, but wow was this performance a spectacle. Proving very well he is still a force to be reckon with. I wish nothing but longevity for this guy

[@thehottamale2910]

No it’s not. He systematically destroyed an 11 fight win streak Tony this wud be his second best maybe….maybe

[@kaltkalt2083]

I was just gonna say his performance against tony was just incredible, by far the best he’s ever looked. I too thought Fiziev would win, dude is so fast, strong, and has insanely fast reaction time. But I’ve loved Gaethje since WSOF so i was rooting for him. Amazing performance. I had no problem with anything bisping said. So he thought leon narrowly won - 2 judges did too, the other had a draw. I thought usman pulled it out (so did usman and leon i don’t care what he said). But it was very close. And leon had 30 something more significant strikes, usman had a few takedowns but did nothing with them as I remember.

He isn't defending his friend as much as he's calling out a commentator for being a non-objective moron in his commentary. There's a way to do it, and when you can't call a match cause someone you really like is in there, then take the night off.

I always root for Justin and he's definitely one of my favorite fighters, but someone new seriously needs to break through in the lightweight division.. I was thinking tonight was the night it possibly happened but figured Justin wouldn't let that happen at all lol. I just think the lightweight division is pretty much at complete stand still with no new talent in the upper ranks what so ever and like the same 3 or 4 title challengers year after year.

[@TheAbomb]

Justin is a savage,amazing to watch. Definitely future hall of famer. Hope this title run gets him that real belt. I would love to see him take champ status before he leaves.

[@MrRobjs83]

What did Bisping say exactly? And the fight that they'd want to see is a rematch with Dustin since it was such a great fight, not Charles but of course he feels he could do better at least than he did getting finished in the 1st round

[@onlymybest9162]

That's where gathje needs to shut up. He shit the bed twice in 2 title fights, it was embarassing. He talked a lot of trash about charles and he got smoked. Meanwhile Bisping won the middleweight title on short notice against a guy who had already defeated him and he also defended the title. Gaethje needs to just shut up, it is a bad look for him.

I like Justin a lot but I don't agree with his opinion on Bisping's commentary. DC is incredibly biased toward certain fighters and I believe if the bias was heavily aimed toward Usman then Justin wouldn't have had anything to say regarding it. All that aside though, what a fighter Justin is. He's also become a lot more concise and intelligent with his media interactions and I believe he's matured a lot over the years. Would love to see him as a champion one day.

Boxing 101 Justin could of made it easy for himself, took him out in the 1st or 2nd round if he used his jab from the very beginning. it was a super close fight leading up to the third, but once he started using his jab he completely took over the fight! Great fight by both guys tho

[@Adnomery_Research_LLC]

Absolutely Pedro - I said the same thing. That jab was like a piston! My old lady was getting pissed because I was coming unglued going, "SH*T, that jab is SHARP ... another jab ... another! ... that's 8, 9, 10 ... DAMN NEVER SEEN HIM DO THAT BEFORE ... 11, 12 ... ... and so on. LMAO 😂. I think I counted like 20. To me, the jab-fest was the best part, and the rest of it was ... not so great. Justin only landed what, maybe 5 good leg kicks? But they were HURTING Fizzy - he switched to southpaw for a LONG time ... big mistake, most of the jabs he ate were from lefty. MMA GUYS CAN'T FIGHT WORTH A DAMN FROM THE OFF SIDE, unless it's "one trick", like Fizzy throws a (back round kick + right hand) from that side. Poirier does OK with a (lead right cross+ step up into a right hook). Tony Ferg used to do a HARD back leg round kick then right straight) before he turned 100 yr old, but USUALLY THEY CAN'T DO SQUAT when switching. Much better off natural. Only MARVIN HAGLER was the great exception. ANYWAY - that fight was nowhere NEAR as compelling or violent as the Alvarez and Poirier fights. Alvarez BLASTING his body like 50 times was one of the best UFC fights EVER. I use it to teach body punching. I felt sorry for Fizzy too - dude didn't get much luck. But I TOTALLY agree with those who hype his speed and power - looked like he hits 3 times as hard as Justin ... just couldn't land snot (pun). He gets that cardio up, and some luck, he will be Top 3.
