Bisping

Where do u guys think he stacks up against some of the top 185ers? Like Chael, Vitor, Spider, Belcher, Nate just to name a few. I think Bisping is very talented but in big fights I think his chin will let him down. t has before and it will again its just a matter of time but do u guys think he could beat any of these guys or is he always gonna be good but not good enough?

I've taken Henderson and Shields out of my rankings as they won't be fighting at Middleweight anymore and I've taken out Sonnen for being a cheat. So here is where I have Bisping-

Middleweight-

01. Anderson Silva
02. Vitor Belfort
03. Nate Marquardt
04. Demian Maia
05. Wanderlei Silva
06. Ronaldo Souza
07. Yushin Okami
08. Michael Bisping
09. Chris Leben
10. Alan Belcher

I try to not like Bisping but I love watching him fight. He is an action guy who trys to finish fights but he just has this chin problem in big fights.

Everybody on that list clowns him except the one that's like blind in one eye. He'd have no chance of not getting clipped by Vitor over a 3 round fight, obviously I still consider AS to be on a much higher level, Nate is well rounded enough and punches hard enough to stick him, and Sonnen would "bury him where he stands". I think Maia is the biggest name for him that would be the most winnable fight

Yeah u are probably right and I wouldnt make him a favorite or nothing but I would like to see him vs Vitor. There would definitely be some fireworks in that fight.

I think he could keep it standing long enough for him to beat Maia. He's no chance at all against Silva or Belfort and Marquardt would beat him 99/100 times.

Vitor would win by 1st round KO.

Yeah for having a bad chin bisping takes a shit load of shots on that think. He doesnt seem to try to protect it at all. He backs out with his chin high and thats what would be his downfall against most top level competition.

They realize this is Bisping's chance at a title shot even though I'm not sure he's a top 10 MW. Fully expecting a #1 contender's match between him and the winner of Nate-Okami

Probably right but it would be fun while it lasted.

I think Nate vs Bisping would be a very good matchup.

Dana has already said the winner of Nate-Okami gets the next title shot after Vitor.

I think nate beats Okami and gets the shot but I wouldnt mind seeing Okami vs nate loser fighting Bisping.

That's what I was thinking also.

The fight makes sense.

It's not his chin that will let him down it's his power, Mike doesn't have the pop to make the elite respect him.

I can see Bisping beating Maia and Belcher, but the rest will be too much for him.

He looks too small at Middleweight. He'd have much more power at Light-Heavyweight.

Damn ahaha your sig just spoiled that fight for me. nice KO though, damn!

Ali he doesnt throw as hard as the other top guys in the division but he does throw his punches in bunches. He has pretty good combos.

Sorry, I thought everyone would've seen the card by now.

Bisping is top ten inside the UFC but will never have a good enough chin to power ratio to survive fight in fight out with his style.

It's cool dude.

Ya, watching it now.

I give Mike credit tonight, he sat down on his punches and dazed Akiyama. Right before the low blow happened he was gaining alot of momentum.

I agree with this but i do feel he is good enough to jump up and take one of the top guys on any given night he just cant beat them consistantly.
