Some things that happend in the UFC just leaves big question marks. Right on point Berry. Remember when I jokingly replied to you a long time ago that NP stands for National Privilege and IC stands for Irish Connection on many shades... versions of Conor? Well Danan did went to UK to meet with the Leprechaun although it never happened but Yair is suddenly 'un-fired' and he's going to fight Zabit.. somewhere..

Did you see the video of Till cutting weight on YT? I think they took it down as a 'damage control' by UFC and only one member of some athletic commission has spoken about it while UFC is basically silent. If you can't locate it, it's basically Till sweating himself out on treadmill and then after a break, where he had to been put on gloves, he went for pad work which apparently goes for a long time.. then he went into a sauna then weights himself all the while he was being surrounded by his teammates who were looking out and cheering for him. Regardless of how you see, I think it's the coaches responsibility to protect his fighters despite their ambitions.. and since that vid came out, more people started clamoring Till to go up.. but then UFC is silent (and probably Rogan's in it as he barely acknowledged that infamous sparring Instagram post)  because as you said magic. Also..

I would say Bisping got gifted the Hamill fight rather those two fights you've said. Bisping was and is still misunderstood imo. People mistook his volume and staggering number of strikes landed as having pillow fists while the Count himself has a lot of TKO wins and of course that Rockhold KO. In the later stages of his career, he was basically fighting with basically one eye and his final two losses came from the fact that both his opponents exploited the supposed blindspot in his bad eye. The signs of damage in his 'good' eye is what made him to hang up ultimately. He came across as an asshole to many but it's clearly him hyping a fight if you watch his BYM podcast where he's just a hardworking dad to his three kids at best and a lovable jerk at worst. He's also the big reason why we got UK stars like Till right now.

Ironically, his late career resurgence came after his eye got messed up as he improved his footwork under Parillo and became Left Hook Larry. Before he got distracted and kneed by Silva, he staggered Silva with a left hook early on and out pointing him using in and out movement on Silva against the cage. But the knee coincided with the bell and Bisping got chance to recover. Keep in mind, I'm not from UK, a big Silva fan before he turned out to be a cheat, and I could say there's some 'magic' involved when it comes to Bisping getting a chance to recover rather than lose, but Bisping was not losing the fight before that or even after he recovered. It's a false narrative to me. The same also applied to Hendo rematch where Hendo only landed 2 H-Bombs and lost to Bisping not because of Hometown Cooking, but because of Bisping's chin and Kickboxing.

Another long ass comment for me and Utica card was a letdown mostly. But hey.. we got Gillespie and One Kick Man hype train at least. I dont remember who the fighters were, but in the past couple months, there was a fight where fighter a was losing bad on the cards, but with 40 seconds left, locked in a tight guillotine. His opponent, fighter b, refused to tap, and the bell sounded. There was a second after the fight where fighter b appeared limp, before standing up. They gave the fight to fighter a as a submission win. If these same rules were applied across the board, than Silva KOed Bisping. Silva was more concerned with his new fighting style than he was with points, so I get the decision, but my point is, the rules seem to change a little bit in every fight. The only explanation for the "magic" is the bottom line. Till has a large and loyal fanbase that the UFC is trying to capitalize on. Not only did he royally screw up his weight cut, but he didnt get a decisive win. The home crowd definitely pushed him up on the score cards. Magic always has deception behind it.
