Bisping

I would still very much like to see Sexyama vs Wandi, that's got fight of the year written all over it.

Bisping will never fight for a title at any weight (And he shouldn't since he's not a legit top-5 and maybe not even a legit top-10) unless a path is carefully laid out for him. He is what he is... A mouthy Brit that has solid skills and is entertaining to watch. Partly because of his ability and style, and partly because you love to hate the guy and find yourself wishing for him to get his ass knocked out in highlight reel fashion. Life will not be complete unless I see him on the wrong end of at least 5 more Hendo-like fights...

I could actually see him beating Maia or Wanderlei in a number 1 contenders match.

I could see him beating Maia. He has completely fallen off with me. I think very little of him anymore

Wand will always have his chin at risk though. He fought pretty conservative in the first fight and still almost finished the damn thing atleast twice

Bisping: Has he made it to solid top ten level? Yes, er maybe. That division is still log jammed like no other from 2 to 14 for me. But I could justify putting him at # 10 in the world if I had to. If Leben gets by Stann, I want to see a rematch between the two for the right to undoubtedly be deep in the top ten and in the 2011 title picture.

Akiyama: This guy started his career at a high level. But he has never gotten much better as his career has moved forward it seems. the talent level of his competition has gotten better but his hasn't. A fight with Munoz or Simpson might be interesting.

Don't worry, once Bisping gets his wish to face Nate or Sonnen he'll get KTFO.

I've never understood why people don't like Bisping, aside from getting a bad decision given to him. He always comes to fight, I don't think he's ever been in a boring fight. I think people sell him short, we're talking about a guy that Rashad Evans couldn't keep on the matt.

So do I think Bisping will ever get a title shot? Sure
Do I think he will ever win the Title? No as good a fighter as he is he still dosen't belong in the cage with the likes of Anderson, Vitor, or even Nate imo. But he's a damn good fighter
