Michael Bisping understands the criticism that Claudio Puelles received following his UFC 281 performance.
UFC lightweight, Claudio Puelles, took a big leap up in class on Saturday night when he took on his first-ranked opponent in Dan Hooker.
Puelles looked to implement his heel hook, a move that has won him three fights in the UFC. The ‘Prince of Peru’ attempted the Imanari roll several times. Eventually, Puelles would get himself a successful entry but Hooker’s experience served him well, facing no real danger before escaping back to his feet.
Hooker would dominate Puelles on the feet, punishing the 26-year-old who seemingly had no answer to the striking of ‘The Hangman’. Hooker would eventually stop Paul less with a front kick to the body in the second round.
Former UFC middleweight champion, Michael Bisping took to his YouTube channel to discuss the events of UFC 281. Bisping was critical of Puelles’s performance, saying that he was ‘happy’ that the crowd booed him following the fight.
“He’s back in a win against a very one-dimensional fighter,” Bisping said. “Puelles needs to go away now and do some work. Dan Hooker was sensational. ‘I’m not taking anything from the victory, but as we know.
“Puelles kept going for that Imanari roll, He’s good at that, but if you can’t get it, you can’t keep lying on the goddamn floor over and over again. I’m happy that the crowd booed him.”
Puelles now has a record of 12-3 and 5-2 within the UFC and although came up short, he is still young and has the potential for a bright future in the UFC

Off the back of his stunning fifth round title loss to challenger, Alex Pereira, at UFC 281 over the course of last weekend, now-former undisputed middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya has revealed he was dealing with some “medical stuff” ahead of the Madison Square Garden battle.
Headlining the event in his third Octagon walk of this year, Adesanya met with Sao Paulo striker, Pereira, attempting to secure a sixth successful defense of his undisputed middleweight crown. And avenge a pair of kickboxing defeats to Pereira back in 2016 and 2017, respectively.
Starting well against his Brazilian foe and avoiding the majority of Pereira’s biggest strikes in the first round, Israel Adesanya almost managed to stop the latter in a buzzer-beating effort in the first, stinging and then wobbling Pereira with a combination at the Octagon fence.
Winning rounds three and four on many’s scorecards, in the fifth and final round, off the back of a trip after a miscued leg kick attempt, Adesanya was wobbled at the fence by Pereira who unloaded with a series of strikes, before his patented left hook landed, sending the Nigerian-Kiwi to the canvas – and ultimately, unable to recover as he suffered a third career loss to Pereira and dropped his championship crown.
Revealing pre-existing health issues leading up to his fight, Adesanya insists that he did not want to make excuses for his title loss, however, must put his health first going forward.
“I don’t disclose everything,” Israel Adesanya told assembled media following UFC 281. “I’ve had some stuff, some medical stuff, that I’ve just put on the backburner, even stuff people make fun of me for. I’ve just got to look after myself, because my health comes first. I’ve got some things to fix first, but I’ll be back.” (Transcribed by NZ Herald)
