Michael Bisping, Over hated, Or Underrated

Mayhem is just as good as any top ten fighter not named Anderson or Chael Sonnen.

The division has great depth sportwide but Bisping is arguably top five in the UFC.

08. Yushin Okami
09. Michael Bisping
10. Chris Leben

Chael Sonnen is off mine for taking steroids, Jake Shields is a Welterweight now and Dan Henderson a Light-Heavyweight.

Peoples rankimgs are their rankings, but Wandy at 5 is generous even with his resume as a LHW, his only win at MW is against Bisping, can't drop Sonnen out just yet, Belcher ahead of Okami? hell I'm a Belcher fan too, no Santiago? and Sheilds was the SF MW Champ beating Hendo, Miller and Bisping, he was a WW before that still, but he deserves to be ranked in two classes till further notice, Hendo had 5 fights at MW before this return to LHW which hasn't happened yet and KO'd Bisping at MW, Lawler? I hate him but he'd beat Bisping.

Mayhem>Bisping

But Bisping top 5 in the UFC?

Anderson
Sonnen
Vitor
Nate
Maia
Okami
Wandy
Belcher

Belcher has nothing on Bisping's resume and is probably retired, out for at least a year. Okami would lose to Bisping probably, got a point about Wandy though. Top 8 at least.

Okami would not lose to Bisping

Bisping as a MW wins over Kang, Miller and Leben, best win as a LHW a true loss to Hamill

Belcher Cote, Gouveia, Santiago, Kang and a fight he probably won against Akiyama

Henderson and Shields have both said they wont fight at MW anymore so I didn't include them. Sonnen is off because he cheated so no sympathy. Belcher really beat Yoshihiro Akiyama and was on fire before the injury.

Akiyama clearly won that fight, Belcher is never going to fight again if we're realistic.

I had it 29-28 Belcher.

Well the judges didn't. Don't listen to Rogan.

That's what I thought when the fight finished and it had nothing to do with Rogan.

Whatever, you know that superman punch off the cage kind of should have won Belcher that fight regardless of the other 14 minutes and 55 seconds, actually.

Stay away from the rankings!

If Bisping beats Akiyama that should justify a top ten place.

There's nothing wrong with your rankings freak.

Thanks for having my back Ali. Us citizens of the commonwealth gotta stick together.

I haven't read anywhere that Shields and Hendo said they won't fight at MW anymore, Shields said about the time he signed with the UFC he wanted to fight Anderson. I'm not throwing them out of the ranking until a couple fights at WW and LHW respectively, both are top 10 fighters amongst MWs. Yeah Sonnen tested positive, but he was already a top 3 MW before that without any positive tests, I hate the guy but I'm not dropping him out of the top 10. Belcher may not fight again, until thast definite though he's above Bisping.

I wouldn't say don't do rankings, but not directed at that, I don't do the ranks anymore because some skew the results.

Why would beating someone who isn't in the top 10 justify getting into the top 10?

Akiyama is a solid Middleweight, he's borderline top ten. If he'd stayed active Sexyama wouldn't have gassed so easily against Leben. Factor in Bisping's previous wins and I don't see how he shouldn't be in the top ten.

I don't see why I should move him ahead of anyone in my top 10 for beating someone who isn't the top 10

Michael Bisping
Evenly hated
Several spots overrated
#14 MW in the world
#9 MW in the UFC

That's your choice, If Mike wins convincingly next I feel he's earned a top ten spot.

I am talking about UFC top ten btw, not the universal middleweight rankings.

Ah. UFC possibly
