When he gets in there with top flight (Akyama is not that, sorry folks) competition he folds. I have no personal problem or beef with him, not like the thousands of users here who claim they could kick his ***. Its just that in the middleweight division, you need power to be succesful amongst many other things and Im convinced that Dominick Cruz or Faber hit 5 times as hard as he does... Akyama was completely gased in that 3rd round leaivng his bobbing head open SO many times and Bisping kept going to that stupid one-two that couldnt knock out his own kid. Sure he has great cardio, decent movement and an alright ground game, but lets be realistic, put him in with marquardt, okami, belfort, sonnen, silva, and he loses emphatically.

jonzero1 Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 yeah that sounds about right. I think in the interests of getting Bisping to a title shot, Maia is his way in. Marquardt, Sonnen (I know...), Belfort, Palhares would all beat the count IMO. Maia is the UFC's 'credible' way to hype a title shot for him, and I think the Count could 'Anderson' his way to victory. Then when he loses, a war of words and fight with Sonnen sometime next year.

Mile_High_Junkie Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 The Count is fun to watch, but he's not champion material... not in UFC anyway. Everyone mentioned so far will beat him except maybe Maia by outpointing him. I'd like to see him fight either Alan Belcher or Patrick Cote. Good matchups.

battlemonkey Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I'd give him Maia or Grove where it would be an easier win for Bisping then the UFC would probally give him a title shot....

bacon_n_jelly Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 If Maia wins his next fight I think it'd be a very interesting match up. Bisping outpointed Miller on the feet, but Maia also did that a few months before. It's hard to tell how it'd go as Bisping'sstand-up seems consistently the same, but Maia could easily have bigger improvements. Bisping only wins by decision, depending on if he can beat up Maia in the stand-up. Maia wins this if he gets it to the ground, but he could also outpoint the count. I'm a Maia fan so i think if he wins against Grove he should get Bisping. Not gonna say for sure who would win but i say the first round will determine it. Maia loses all confidence in takedowns if he gets beat up a bit (anderson fight), so if bisping has a strong first i say him ftw. But i want Maia to rip his arm off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munkie Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Bisping wants to make a push for the title, sure. Watch, his next fight will be against a nobody that is on his way out. I mean, come on, those are the only kind of fighters Pissping has ever beat convincingly. Let's look at his TKO's. Josh Haynes, does he even fight anymore? Eric Shafer, who immediately lost to Bonnar and was cut. Elvis Sinosic, 8 - 12, nuff said. Charles McCarthy, who actually broke his own arm blocking, doesn't count. Jason Day, who immediately lost to Grove and was cut. Denis Kang, immediately cut after going 1-2 in the UFC. Watch, Bisping will probably beat Chris Camozzi or Goran Reljic and Shady and his bf TTT will both go crazy saying that that makes him the number 1 contender. What a joke.

ThePredictor Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 If Bisping got matched up with any of the following people (no particular order), I would predict Bisping would lose. -Silva -Sonnen -Belfort -Marquardt -Belcher -Munoz -Okami -Grove -Leben -Maia -Palhares -Wandy ...and arguably a couple more. I don't like Bisping, but that's the honest truth. I don't think he would beat any of those people. And yes, I put Leben on that list even though he already beat him. I wouldn't exactly rank Bisping as a contender right now. At all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(2 decisions, One was FOTN, and most recent win over Akiyama who just came over the Leben loss) See what I'm getting at here? Leben is WAY closer to a title shot than Bisping, and They put him against Brian Stann. If Leben is still low enough to have to fight Stann, Bisping is at minimum 2 fights away from a title shot.

JP24 Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Maia. This... Well, the winner of Maia vs. Grove... Which will be Maia. Styles make fights, and Bisping has the perfect skill set to keep Maia on the feet, and I think they have equal stand-up. Maia's stand-up is so sadly underrated. It'd be a stand-up war, and I'd like to see it, AND a win like that for Bisping would shoot him into the title picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoaquinPhoenix Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I don't mind Bisping the same way I used to because he has a lot of heart, and a lot of charisma. I understand that this guy will do anything to become the best fighter; the question is: If he fulfills his potential optimally, can he be the champion (past simply winning the belt) ? In other words: will he EVER be able to win the belt AND defend his title AT LEAST ONCE ? Unfortunately for those who are big, big fans of his, he cannot..... IMO That being frankly stated, I really do have a new-found admiration for Michael Bisping and I will cheer for him against certain opponents.

Bisping on the other hand has beaten Dan Miller and Akiyama. I do believe Bisping is 2 fights away from a title shot. His next fight should be Maia and then maybe the winner of Okami/Marquardt. Which he'll probably lose. Leben IMO is 2 maybe 3 fights away. I would say give a shot to the winner of Nate and Yushin, but Silva is out until February so the division shouldn't stay on hold.
