Bisping a bit put out by hector Lombards potential title shot.

Say Whaaaat?!

I think Mike is hugely underated (possibly the most underated in the UFC) but the above statement is a bit wide of the mark. Belcher is legit and would be a terrible match-up for Mike.

BJJ BB and a one punch knockout artist.

Has Bisping finished someone with a single shot in the UFC?

I can only think of Belcher finishing one opponent with one strike in the UFC, and that was a head kick to Santiago?

[rockyf]

Also as much as I like Belcher I have never understood why people think he is such a danger to Bisping or the top of the MW division...that 'can' that Bisping beat called Jason Day stopped Belcher I seem to remember and he has also lost to a few other middle pack fighters! And please dont tell me he was robbed against Akiyama..!! At best it was close..!!

[londonpride]

bisping would get exposed by the likes of belfort,beltcher and lombard

thats why he's fighting tim boetsch level competition

as usual

Yeah 'cos Wanderlei, Sonnen, Henderson and Rashad are lower level fighters. Don't talk shit. Hendo aside Bisping acquited himself very well against all of the others too, there's an argument he would have beaten all 3 had it been different judges (note how Bisping haters harp on about getting lucky vs Hamill but conveniently ignore his extremely close losses). The blokes proven he deserves to be near the top (doubt he'll ever make it the whole way), the haters should just accept it, it all gets a bit petty. Bisping is a tough fighter who makes the most of his abilities, he's done well against some of the best and has been fighting - and winning most - in the UFC for years - and has only been stopped once! He deserves the respect and acknowledgement of a fighter of his ability imo, no matter what you think of him as a person.
To still suggest he fights nobodies is utterly rediculous. He's beaten all the 'lower' fighters convincingly and only been stopped once against multiple top level fighters that he's gone to war with, he's really not that bad a fighter is he..

I would definitely pick these 7 guys to beat Bisping:

Anderson
Chael(again)
Vitor
Lombard
Rockhold
Stann
Munoz

I think all those guys are extremely tough matchups for him and would beat him. I think guys like Boetsch, Weidman and Belcher could beat him as well, but I'm not quite as confident in them as I am in the top group. Bisping's habit of blocking punches with his face is going to start catching up to him when he faces guys like Vitor, Lombard, Munoz, etc. He doesn't have the chin to eat what those guys can dish out for 15 minutes.

i never said those fighters suck silly

the fighters you list prove my point ...every time he gets someone good he loses! he has not beaten 1 top 10 guy ever!

youre just another bisping fan living a lie. thinking that he's good. think about why they gave him boestch and not belfort or beltcher. he would lose AGAIN

[Grizzly.]

^^ agreed. All I've ever said is as soon as he fights someone good he loses. It doesn't matter if he nearly won at the end of the day he didn't... You could be 0-10 in the UFC on split decision loses and that doesn't mean you'll get a title shot if you then go on and win one fight because you 'nearly' won in the previous.

I'll repeat... What is Bisping loses at 149??

I'm enjoy watching Tim Boetsch fight but I see this bout for what it is.

Bisping fighting a top 20 guy who's on a good streak.

Just like Rivera was, Hamill was and Jason Day was.

It's probably closer than Rivera was because of the wrestling but it's still a similar match up.

Top 20? The guy just destroyed Okami, who was considered #2/3 in the division.

[Ben CQ]

I don't see him top 10.

He's looked good at 185 but I still think he's a bit rough round the edges to break the big time. Maybe he'll prove me wrong.

No doubt Okami was a huge comeback win though.

I still think he loses to:

Silva
Sonnen
Munoz
Belfort
Belcher
Bisping
Palhares
Lombard
Stann
Weidman
