These guys coached against each other in the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter, and Bisping was a complete ass the entire time. He was talking shit to Henderson and Henderson’s fighters the entire time they did the show.

To paraphrase Chris Rock, I’m not saying Henderson was right, but I understand.

I guess that’s fair; I haven’t fought anything bigger than a mosquito since my brother and I were younger, and there was never a scenario like that. I still think there was malicious intent that went beyond trying to finish the fight, but it was probably unavoidable once he went to finish it.

I don’t think he knew Bisping was out, though.

Not to pull out an old favorite, but have you done any martial arts/combat sports? I haven’t, and I’m not sure that in that emotional/adrenalized state, it’s reasonable to expect Henderson to back off in the time he had (especially since, as he mentioned, the ref hadn’t stopped him yet). I’m certainly not sure it was a ton of time, and I’m not sure that he had to re-aim it so much that it made a difference.

If you’ve seen the press conference, you saw that Henderson really couldn’t remember how he set up the punch (with a left jab, or something else). He had to be reminded that it was a kick/feint. His answers to those questions indicate, to me, that he was running on reflexes to a very large degree.

I don’t know about the Henderson thing. He said that he wasn’t that type fighter to do that, but he was wanting to shut him up?

Yeah. And I also read the stuff I could online and followed the rest via Twitter. Neither here nor there, though.

And re: the punch: Come on, that was low. He didn’t know for maybe the first split-second of that punch, but he had to re-aim it because Bisping was falling. There’s a ton of time to recalculate or pull back, in my mind.

At least you watched the highlights. Did you see that pathetic “recap” over at the old home? The worst kind of “blogger in a basement” crap.

Also, I don’t blame Henderson as much for the last punch. It looked like he decided to throw before seeing Bisping out, and finally saw him out in the middle of throwing the punch.

Henderson is kind of a cunt I guess. I probably wouldn’t say it to his face, but from where I’m at I think it’s an appropriate statement.
