Bisping losing his sheen

[Shaolin Exile]

Well until this morning I thought I was the only person in the UK who couldn't care less whether Bisping wins or loses. However, I was still curious enough to come on here and learn the news.

I was puzzled that it was devoid of comment and then looked at the UFC website. Then I heard in my head the old football chant (to the tune of "She'll be coming round the mountain") "Oh it's all gone quiet over there?.........."

Where are the usual haters, admirers of Bisping's undoubted skill (I recognise that but I am ambivalent about the prospect of him becoming the first British UFC champ), and those quasi racists who would support absolutely anyone over an American as long as he happened to have a UK passport.

Vs Dan Henderson - KTFO
Vs Chael Sonnen - Worst Sonnen beat the best Bisping
Vs Vitor Belfort - TKTFO

....whch does rather pose the question whether he will ever be a world champion. World class, yes but will he get a UFC title shot (still less a UFC title) before time runs out. In sporting terms at 34 he's arguably well into middle-age.

On the other hand, even before he came into MMA proper, back in 2002, his some time coach and the founder of KSBO (Paul Lloyd Davies) tipped Bisping to become a UFC champ should he ever decide to return to combat sports full time. Part of me would like to see Paul proved right
but there are some things about Bisping's approach to competition whuch makes me wonder if he has what it takes to be a champ

[Babycakes]

absolutely devastated for him.

I'm gutted for him as well. You still upset about the spitting thing John? I personally don't need him to come across like an Olympic gamesmaker, offering to give up his seat and share his packed lunch to make team gb look good. I like the way he makes it personal and talks shit. It's fucking hilarious.

All the best mike, bit of a set back, but just means there's more people to bash.

Feel sorry for him having to fight Belfort who is going to move back up to lhw after this win so what was the point ? if stann would have beaten bisping they would have given him a title shot !! Same with sonnen constantly getting title fights after losing his last 3 they're not giving people like bisping the title shots they have worked so hard for.

Beat the best Brian Stann and to be honest I thought he beat Sonnen

What's that got to do with anything, the best Stann lost to Sonnen, Davis and even Cantwell and Krystof?... He never beat Sonnen.

[Jimmy Boogaloo]

Sonnen I am sure would take a rematch with Bisping, but he'd much rather avoid it, betcha!

It would be good to see Sonnen 'the clown' try and take Belfort out like he said he could.

I'd like to see mike fight someone he can run over next, then a big fight with Hector 'big hands' Lombard.
