Michael Bisping analyzes Gregory Rodrigues' loss to Jared Cannonier

On his YouTube channel, Michael Bisping broke down Gregory Rodrigues' loss to Jared Cannonier and asserted that ‘Robocop’ had too big of a weight cut for the bout, which affected his gas tank. Bisping also expressed disappointment that Rodrigues failed to utilize his jiu-jitsu skills. Bisping explained:

“In round two, we started seeing a very different fight. Gregory Rodrigues is really big for the weight class so I’m guessing that he has a monster weight cut. Also, he’s big, he’s fast, he’s powerful, he’s got that fast twitch muscle fiber. I always say, and it’s a cliché at this point, you can’t be a sprinter and a marathon runner at the same time, it’s just impossible. He’s really good in the first round, he’s got world class jiu-jitsu that he seemingly never uses these days… You’ve got to be able to maintain that pace and he couldn’t do that.”
