But it has been done before, it was done anderson silva picking fights with forrest griffin, bj penn stepping up to GSP, the whole conor-diaz feud. i didn't expect bisping to vacate the belt, i just wanted the match to be for no title. Why should GSP win a belt and immediately vacate it, how is this any different to the Germaine De Randamie and Mcgregor fiasco (i know GSP is an all time great)? Also i don't expect GSP to fight straight away but i would be disappointed as a fan if he didn't unify the belts. That's just my take on the situation, me and you clearly see different sides and that's alright.
For sure dude. I get what you are saying and somewhat agree. Of course the Anderson and Mcgregor thing at different weightclasses sort of doesn't fit being that the belts held were not the classes where the fight was taking place. In order for that to be an example, Bisping would have had to face GSP at 170 while holding the belt in a different class. GSP's belt was on the line against Penn.
The De Randamie situation is very similar circumstances with very different ways of handling it. De Randamie was making accusations about another fighter whether true or not and fought very dirty to get the belt to begin with. It is difficult to celebrate someones good achievement when they are sort of shitty about how they got there.
I do see your point. I as a fan would also like to see GSP unify and then drop right after. I think he could beat Whittaker, I also think he looks shitty at 185 and is very small for the class. Anyway, I can sort of agree with what you say.
