Heading into his main event fight against Kelvin Gastelum at UFC Shanghai, many people were questioning Michael Bisping’s decision to jump right back into action just three weeks after being choked out by Georges St-Pierre. Bisping’s own coach, Jason Parillo, even suggested that Gastelum was “a bigger threat” than Georges St-Pierre, but Bisping carried on anyway and was knocked out in the first round for his troubles. Now, with the benefit of hindsight, it seems Bisping sees why everyone thought it was a bad idea in the first place.
Speaking on his Believe You Me podcast, the former middleweight champion said that he thinks it was the wrong choice to have such a quick turnaround after a brutal loss and training camp.
