I had a roommate that had colitis, and I know when he had flare ups, he could barely leave his room, never mind training and competing, so I do have enormous respect for him toughing it out. Still though, his plan was to become a multi division champion, and if that worked out like it did, I guarantee he planned on moving down to welterweight. You also can't deny that Bisping was an easier fight than Tyron, as much as I despise the whiny ww champ. Forget the Conor comparisons. These two athletes are at much different stages in their careers. I definitely respect GSP enough to take him at his word about the illness, but I don't think his illness changes his original intent.
