Jorge Rivera fighting Bisping at UFC 127

I've always liked Rivera.The guy comes to fight and is from place of birth,Massachusetts.

Another guy that has the power to hurt Bisping but will likely be outboxed and lose a decision

At 38,I'm not sure how much Jorge has left in the tank.

bisping has enough skill (not enough power) to beat jorge. ud for bisping

This gets Bisping closer to a title shot how?

The fight that was "95 percent" certain just 10 days is now essentially a done deal.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today learned from sources close to UFC middleweight Jorge Rivera (18-7 MMA, 8-5 UFC) that he and British slugger Michael Bisping (20-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) have each verbally agreed to meet at UFC 127.

Bout agreements are expected to be finalized shortly.

Although not officially announced by the organization, UFC 127 is expected to take place Feb. 27, likely at Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia. The show is expected to air on pay-per-view.

he beat the shit out of nate quarry ant thats enough for me to jump on the george train.

Thats a good matchup, I think this fight ends in a KO.

Bisping should take this with his style, he looks like he's building some power in his shots too.

to be laughing on the night and that's me. He can try and make himself
relevant by talking [expletive] and doing stupid videos. I make myself
relevant by constantly fighting the best in the world in main events and
co-main events for the UFC. Obviously Jorge hasn't written any of that
himself because the guy hasn't got two brain cells to rub together. I
doubt he can even read. Looking at him, I don't imagine he spent too
much time in school. The guy's 38 years old. You'd think he'd grow up
and mature. He's going on like a childish teenager. It's all pathetic
garbage. He should spend less time making videos and more time in the
gym."

Oh the irony.

Good oppurtunity for Rivera, dude has been around the block about 5 times already. 7-5 in the UFC, with his first fight back in 2003. And he has won his last 3 fights all in the UFC.

Maybe not the marquee matchup that we expect for bisping, but it's good to see an old dog like Jorge have a bone thrown his way.


Here's hoping for the upset.

I think Bisping wins this fight but it maybe a way bigger challenge than he thinks it will be.
