Too bad he’s gota go through like ten other guys who are ten times better than Evans

Wait a second…

He has fans??

Too bad he’s gota go through like ten other guys who are ten times better than Evans

So True

So True

i have no doubt in my mind that you 3 guys above me have no taste in fighters, infact im quite sure that all 3 of guys love matt hughes prob your fav fighter – and i think that says it all! bisping is a great fighter and i assure you, you will be eating your words in 08 , rashad kept taking him down he got back countless times and started to bang – how can you say there is 10 guys better than him – id say more like 3 !

Rashad lost that fight. I saw some comments by people who thought that Rashad won and they see what they look for- just like in the Hamill fight. Rashad lost his last two as far as I’m concerned, and Bisping’s won his last two. Also, the Bisping-Evans fight left more people impressed with Bisping than were impressed with Rashad. I am thoroughly unimpressed with Rashad, I thought he would win a decision fairly easily and after the fight I thought he clearly lost. I was jokingly suggesting another split decision for Bisping, which I was certain of after they read the first two scorecards… but then the third was for Evans! What a shock! What a cheat! But it does set up Bisping vs. Hamill II fairly nicely with both of them coming off of controversial defeats. Of course everyone made way too big a deal of the Hamill fight, it was very close but most people didn’t see it that way. People need to get off the count and take notice of who is really being babied here- Rashad. He lost the fight against Tito, and he lost against Bisping, and yet he’s on his way to the top. I blame all the people who cried and cried about the Hamill decision for the bad judging at UFC 78. Hamill lost, Rashad lost… Christ you guys are making me a Bisping fan…

Hate bisping haters !

I did think he would get TKO’d by Rashad but he did hang with him and I actually thought he could of squeaked out a decision. But there is no way he’s ever going to be champion. especially at 205, even at 185 he’s not good enough, in my opinion.

If I were him I would go to another organization where I could win. I imagine he couldnt beat Silva or Franklin and doubt he could be GSP/Hughs/Fitch or Parisyan in a Match weight fight. His skill level is way low and over blown.

most of you dislike him probably cos hes english.

I THINK BISPING WILL DEFINATELY BECOME WORLD CHAMPION…BUT NOT IN THE UFC. Notice how he doesnt mention being world champion of the UFC. Sure bisping you might become a champ in elite xc or wec but SURE AS HELL NOT THE UFC!!!

His UFC performances are just really not that great and thats why we dont like him. If Bisping wasnt on the reality show then i guarantee he would not be headlining anything. On top of that you would know that he lost most of his fan base after he got tooled and still won the decision becuase they dont really have many UFC international poster boys. And when he knew he lost the fight he still acted like a complete Prick in the ring against Hammill.

OK… I think “Great” might be pushing it a little bit.

The only thing i’ll give Bisbing from that fight is… NO ONE apart from the Iceman manages to stand up off the ground so often and easily.. I give him props for that!

But his stand up is looking a bit lame, unless that was nerves related he aint top 3 with a stand up game like that, not even top 5.

But i want to see him fight Hamil again, i actually think Bisbing will Hammer the sh*t out of Hamil if they go again.

i feel sorry for bisping and im english.hes good at everything but hes just not great at anything.hes the ken doherty of mma.i think he should definitely drop down dont forget rashad and hamil are world class wrestlers and to a certain extent he hung with them.i seriously believe hed beat mcdonald/herman/okami/leben etc.i think hed be a good match for franklin but he will never win a title unless the spyder vacates and moves up but that doesnt look likely now hollywood has dropped down.

Bisping is still very young and has plenty of time to improve or just wait out a few retirements. He has good skills, but he has gotten as good as he is going to get in Wolf’s Lair. If he is serious about competing for a title, and I think pretty much every fighter is, then he needs to make a permanent move to a better camp where he can train with top guys instead of the knobs he beats up on every day.

I THINK BISPING WILL DEFINATELY BECOME WORLD CHAMPION…BUT NOT IN THE UFC. Notice how he doesnt mention being world champion of the UFC. Sure bisping you might become a champ in elite xc or wec but SURE AS HELL NOT THE UFC!!!

UNLESS!!! The current crop of killers ALL retire due to age… Iceman/Wanderlei/Houston etc… but there are a load of young guns too so…yep no chance…

At 6foot2 he should drop to MW end of.

Shut up and go to 185 !!! he would get a bigger fan base

There is no weight division currently in the ufc..that he can do that in..maybe strikefore..not even the ifl..he can hold a belt..let him fight in cagerage..so he can get a belt around his ego.

I am a fan of Bisping. He was my favorite during TUF. I would like to see him at 185. He should have some exciting fights and some KO victories in his near future. I don’t see him defeating Anderson Silva any time soon, but then again, I see Henderson being the new champ in a few months.

drop to 185 now before hamill kills you!!!

He dominated Cage Rage for a long time – so he’s already had that belt and walked through the fights – he’d do the same in the IFL!

Bisping would give a good fight, and possibly defeat, a lot of light-heavyweights outside of the UFC, and be even better at Middleweight. It’s a good allround fighter, but will never be a great fighter.

drop to 185 now before hamill kills you!!!

Yep he needs to do something but with Hendo and Silva there he wouldn’t last very long at 185. Maybe he could beat Rich in England with another bad descision in his favor.

Bisping’s standup performance against a wrestler like Hammil was really telling. Bottom line is he’s a marketing tool for the UFC in the U.K. If he’s ever a champ the UFC’s in trouble.

Niether Bisping or Rashad will be LHW champions within the next two years, gaurenteed. If Bisping drops to 185 then he might stand a chance. There are way to many excellent fighters in there way to be able to even come close to the belt. Not gonna happen.

Michael Bisping: ‘I am still definitely going to be the world champion of King of the Cage despite loss to Rashad Evans’

Bisping also says “I pity the next guy I fight because I will be going out there with much more aggression now and finish him off in the first one or two rounds”.
Ummmmmm, didn’t you say tha SAME exact thing before the Rashad Evans fight? Rashad Evan’s puppy shows more aggression humping a stuffed animal than Bisping showed in his prevsious 2 fights. (in reference to Bipsing’s comment about his wife agreessively hitting the January sales)

Did anyone read the full article? They really need to get writers that know more about MMA to be writing about it. Here’s one line from the article “It was the first time in 16 UFC contests Bisping had not had his hands raised aloft in triumph.”

i think he should definitely drop down dont forget rashad and hamil are world class wrestlers and to a certain extent he hung with them.i seriously believe hed beat mcdonald/herman/okami/leben

I think that Chris Leben would beat up Bisping, and KO him the F out at that. Also, I think that Terry Martin would knock Bisping’s head off. If Jmac got Bisping to the ground, Bisping would get submitted. Okami would be too strong for Bisping. He would take him down and pound on him, get stood up, take him down, pound on him… Ed Herman. Now that is a winnable fight for Bisping, but I don’t even think that Bisping would be an overwhelming favorite to win the fight. Definitely the favorite, but noting like -450. Actually, I also think that Kendall Grove would desrtoy Bisping. Grove has a much more diverse stand up arsenal than Bisping. I am not even going to mention Silva, Henderson or Franklin, because it is pretty obvious what would happen to Pissping if they fought.

The only belt Bisping will ever see is Rampage’s when they train together. With what he showed at the fight…he doesn’t have the skills to match up with any of the top 10 LHWs. If he really wants to win then he should just run a round the ring doing that flying knee constantly to see if he can fluke one out. His hands are slow and do little damage. His jab is weak. You can see his kicks coming a mile away. His groud defense was decent and his ability to get back up was fairly impressive but that’s not enough to win fights. His cardio was good too. I’d like to see Shogun get Bisping in the clinch…that would be a highlight reel. I think that a few peopl have hit the nail on the head…he’s good at a few things but not great at anything. Maybe a drop down to 185 might rejuvinate him but it will still be hard for him to gain the speed he needs to compete in the UFC. He’s too slow.

i have no doubt in my mind that you 3 guys above me have no taste in fighters, infact im quite sure that all 3 of guys love matt hughes prob your fav fighter – and i think that says it all! bisping is a great fighter and i assure you, you will be eating your words in 08 , rashad kept taking him down he got back countless times and started to bang – how can you say there is 10 guys better than him – id say more like 3 !

u bisping haters just hate him cuz he is english and bcuz he won against matt hamill :S

why do alot of ppl hate him bcuz he won a fight with matt hamill :S

it was the judges that scored the bout not him

and plz dont give me that bollocks about the way he acted after the fight!
alot of ppl would celebrate like that if they won a fight in the ufc! it is normal.

no1 has got a desisive win over him
even if matt hamill would of won it still would of been via split decision just like evans.

so untill he gets owned by someone like eveans or hamill
plz will all the ppl that hate fighters after 1 or 2 dissapointin fights ..
he does need to get stuck in abit more when he fights instead of throwig lack lustered jabs apart from that he is a good fighter

Say what you want about Bisping but no question that he’s a gamer. He’s a tough son of a gun with a big heart and great determination. The Evans fight really needed to be a 5 rounder to decide things properly. In which case I think Bisping would have won.

They’re both more or less equally as $h!t or as good, depending on how you rate them.

It seems like Bisping is more hated than Matt Hughes and Tito Ortiz combined.

If you’re going to knock Mike then knock Rashad too. Fair is fair.

I am still definitely going to be the world champion’ despite loss to Rashad Evans……. NOT!! :) No chance

Both of them should drop down to 185. I’ll admit that Michael’s standup seemed tentative. He never threw his jab with much conviction either. It looks like he was just punching to score rather than hurt. As for Rashad he seemed more than happy with attempting to lay and pray a decision which really isn’t that entertaining. He only punches to set up the takedown. Well I suppose it is his bread and butter.

Both are equally as overhyped as one another in my opinion.

Dudes, Bisping will get murdered by the top guys (and less) at BOTH 205 or 185. The guy’s just not world class plain and simple. We’ll all see me proved right in time. Can you honestly imagine the guy against Anderson Silva? OUCH :)
And against Rampage OUCH OUCH lol

most of you dislike him probably cos hes english.

No, I dislike him because he is arrogant.

Bisping Champ?

Sure, right after monkeys wearing ascots fly out of my ass.

I hope his next fight isn’t Matt Hammill. Hammill has nothing to gain from fighting Bisping a 2nd time and he shouldn’t have to beat him twice to get 1 victory. Bisping is certainly a recognizable name and since Shogun lost his UFC debut, I think he’s a perfect opponent. Shogun should easily dispatch of Bisping and in doing so will regain much of the luster he lost in the Griffin fight.

I would like to see him fight Tito

And against Rampage OUCH OUCH lol

Yeah that’s true I agree completely. But Anderson pretty much murders every one doesn’t he (save for Hendo, Lindland, Filho). Still Bisping would be better off at 185. It’s not like he’s going to go “Well Rampage would whup me, Anderson would whup me, maybe I’ll go back to Cage Rage or retire”. There’s still decent money to be made for the guy and for the UFC by the mere fact he’s english. It suits both parties.

They could give him Leben, Herman, Starnes, Grove, Singer etc. All TUFers who he might be able to beat. It would be easy to sell to the casual fan as they’re all recognised despite the fact none of them will ever hold a UFC belt. He’s running out of names he can beat at 205 at the moment I think.

Anderson, Henderson, Franklin and maybe Okami would beat him. J-Mac Bisping might be decent. At least he’ll be further up the rankings.

Why is everyone always going on about Hammill, he sucks. Sure he can chuck guys to the ground, but then what?

Bisping should drop down to 185 and let Hammill get smashed by some average 205 guy, like Rashad. Was probably a good job the judges didn’t give Bisping the win, there would have been even more girls on here, bitching and crying about another close call going to the Brit. Not his fault the fighters on TUF 3 were not up to it and all got smashed. Oh, and lets not forget poor old Hammill getting injured (again) when the going got a little tough.

Rashad Evan’s puppy shows more aggression humping a stuffed animal than Bisping showed in his prevsious 2 fights.

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!

Put Bisping vs. Thiago Silva so he can be shown what a future champ is made of =)

I would love to see that fight. I was very impressed with Tiago’s composure and I would like to continue to see Tiago matched up against better fighters, the KID looks 4real.

Is it just me or is this guy a tool?

think that Chris Leben would beat up Bisping, and KO him the F out at that. Also, I think that Terry Martin would knock Bisping’s head off. If Jmac got Bisping to the ground, Bisping would get submitted. Okami would be too strong for Bisping. He would take him down and pound on him, get stood up, take him down, pound on him… Ed Herman. Now that is a winnable fight for Bisping, but I don’t even think that Bisping would be an overwhelming favorite to win the fight. Definitely the favorite, but noting like -450. Actually, I also think that Kendall Grove would desrtoy Bisping. Grove has a much more diverse stand up arsenal than Bisping. I am not even going to mention Silva, Henderson or Franklin, because it is pretty obvious what would happen to Pissping if they fought

You must be crazy. Bisping would destroy Chris Leben. And no one at 185 can keep him on the ground. He was able to stand right up against matt hammil and rashad evans. I hate to tell you but okami is not as strong as them.

i think that bisping really is a great fighter , you have to remember that he has only had a few world class fights, the competition in england and ireland stinks, no technique, no style, very easily taken down and mounted / choked out , the cage over here is literally about a quarter the size of the ufc octagon, i say give bisping a year in the ufc and i guarentee that he becomes a amazing fighter and champ , he just needs the experience, a good camp, and a few world class opponents. nobody thought jardine would beat chuck or forrest would beat shogun, thats waht the ufc is all about man , expect the unexpected !

Terry Martin could keep him down. He’s way too strong for Bisping. Leben grabbing the fence cost him a point, but won him the matchup with Martin. If he doesn’t grab the top of the cage, Martin puts him through the floor.

I find it funny to read from all the delusional Bisping fans ranting about how good Bisping is & how he “won his last two fights in my eyes”. Too bad reality doesn’t support the Bisping delusion. I liked him during TUF, but the more delusional ranting that I here, the more I start to wonder what reality is he (& his fans) talking about? All of the what ifs & I don’t believe its don’t matter. Get over it, start living in the real world, & stop crying! Pick yourself up like a man, stop making excuses, & focus on your next fight instead of making some delusional wannabe predictions about being world champ!

Cody, I must admit that I am a biased Chris Leben fan. However, seeing that Terrry Martin was swinging for the fences and couln’t KO Leben, I HIGHLY doubt that Bisping’s little pancake punches would even be felt by Leben.

And you are correct, I too was very amazed at Bisping’s ability to get up against Rashad. Hammill did not want the fight to go to the ground due to his injury, so when ever the fight hit the ground and Hammill was on top, he would just stand up and back off, allowing Bisping to get up. BUT Bisping seemed to have zero difficulties getting up from Rashad’s takedowns. I was very impressed with that. But for someone that been training Kickboxing since the age of what, 8 years old, and MMA since like 17 years old, I would think that Bisping would have better striking and some sort of KO power. Even fighting all of those nobodies in the UK, he only has ONE KO to his credit. I don’t ever see him getting another one, unless he drop to MW and fights a total tool.

Put Bisping vs. Thiago Silva so he can be shown what a future champ is made of =)

Man that would be a smack down!

I would love to see that fight. I was very impressed with Tiago’s composure and I would like to continue to see Tiago matched up against better fighters, the KID looks 4real.

Thiago will hold the belt at some point in his career…he’s for real. He basically dominated everyone’s favorite Nebraskan in the first round. Late 2008 or early 2009 he will have his shot.

ok,look.bottom line is (since no one else will say it) M I C H E A L B I S P I N G f#@cking sucks.this guy is nowhere near the top.i started out liking the guy.but no part of his game is impressive at all.all this talk of him dropping to 185 is useless cause jmac,leban,franklin and definitely anderson silva would all kick the shit of of him.i was glad he lost to a split decision cause karma’s a bitch.but the ufc needs a guy they can sale.so whatever,pimp him out,then when his rep is gone feed him to a top ten lhw,and send him packing to a lesser organization.

Wait a second…

He has fans??

Yeah he does, just because you don’t like him, doesn’t mean others don’t. Most of you dislike him because he is English. The judges were responsible were the ones who gave him the fight over Hamill, blame them.

Rashad is boring and did not win that fight. How the judges gave it to him I don’t know. They were probably conscious that Bisping had gotten an iffy decision last time out and gave it to Rashad.

To who thinks Chris ‘Melonhead’ Leben, Terry Martin and Kendall Grove (The most overhyped fighter in UFC, really enjoyed seeing Patrick Cote smashing his head in) would beat Bisping, Dream on. Bisping has better standup than any of them and would be too strong for them.

Bisping has won a fight in debatable circumstances, and now has lost 1 fight in debatable circumstances. I think its evened out. Hopefully we’ll see him progress from here.

“I think the fact I have been beaten will help my career”

Well then look out world, I think he’s in for a whole lot of career help in the future.

I will admit he did way better than I thought he would – but I still don’t think he’s near the top of division’s talent

i think rashad did win the fight but lost alot of fans with his safe fighting style. And thats not a good thing just ask tim syliva about that!

i have no doubt in my mind that you 3 guys above me have no taste in fighters, infact im quite sure that all 3 of guys love matt hughes prob your fav fighter – and i think that says it all! bisping is a great fighter and i assure you, you will be eating your words in 08 , rashad kept taking him down he got back countless times and started to bang – how can you say there is 10 guys better than him – id say more like 3 !

1 Rampage
2 Wanderlai
3 Forrest
4 Hendo
5 Silva (Thiago)
6 Liddell
7 Shogun
8 Houston
9 Tito
10 Jardine

I’d say that all 10 of those guys are better than Bisping. Heck I’ll even throw in one more…

11 MATT HAMMIL

GO AWAY BISPING. You didn’t win 15 fights because you LOST to Hamill. Bisping will never be a contender for the title. And to the handful of Bisping fans, I still don’t know what his appeal is to you. Is it just because he’s a Brit? The guy’s a 2nd rate fighter and his personality is annoying as hell. I just don’t understand it.

1 Rampage ( came off 3 loses in pride now he is ufc champ , he sucks )

2 Wanderlai ( good fighter, good match up for bisping in about 8 months )

3 Forrest ( great fighter, bisping is better )

4 Hendo ( getting on , by the time they fight hr will cream him )

5 Silva (Thiago)( good win against a guy withy no ground game – bisping good ground game )

6 Liddell ( keith jardine enough said )

7 Shogun ( forrest griffin, enough said )

8 Houston ( gassed after 1st round , bisping wins )

9 Tito ( ha hahahahahahahahahahahaha )

10 Jardine ( good but lucky, bisping tko rnd 1 )

Bisping beat Rashad, that’s just my oppinion, I’m not a flag waving Bisping fan or anything, but after seeing all the pre-fight shit talking Rashad was doing and how he didn’t back any of it up in the octagon I was really disapointed with his lackluster performance.

i have no words to explain how much im dissapointed. you guys dont like bisping because he’s english, he is better than a hell of a lot of fighter in the ufc.

1 Rampage ( came off 3 loses in pride now he is ufc champ , he sucks )
2 Wanderlai ( good fighter, good match up for bisping in about 8 months )
3 Forrest ( great fighter, bisping is better )
4 Hendo ( getting on , by the time they fight hr will cream him )
5 Silva (Thiago)( good win against a guy withy no ground game – bisping good ground game )
6 Liddell ( keith jardine enough said )
7 Shogun ( forrest griffin, enough said )
8 Houston ( gassed after 1st round , bisping wins )
9 Tito ( ha hahahahahahahahahahahaha )
10 Jardine ( good but lucky, bisping tko rnd 1 )

This must be a joke. People dont like Bisping because he doesnt perform on the big stage. Sure enough he had success in Cage Rage but what kind of fighter was he fighting? And to tell me he would beat Rampage, Wanderlei, Griffin or anyone of the rest of these guys mentioned above is just a joke. Maybe Tito and Jardine but that is it. He would get destroyed by the rest. If Rampage sucks then what the hell is Bisping!? If he cant beat Evans, whos striking is far inferior than most of the guys mentioned then he is hopeless in this division. Hes just in the UFC to break the English market.

i have no doubt in my mind that you 3 guys above me have no taste in fighters, infact im quite sure that all 3 of guys love matt hughes prob your fav fighter – and i think that says it all! bisping is a great fighter and i assure you, you will be eating your words in 08 , rashad kept taking him down he got back countless times and started to bang – how can you say there is 10 guys better than him – id say more like 3 !

What is with all you Bisping fans and saying “you just hate him cause he’s english” No we hate him cause he’s just not good and is a cocky piece of doo doo!

Nice to see all the Americans still bitching on about how bad Bisping is after his first loss, keep it up lads you make my day.

They just can not give credit to anyone who is not from there side of the pond, its the same with boxing. Keep it up lads I love it.

dream on buddy dream on, he’ll never be champ.

dream on buddy dream on, he’ll never be champ.

Need I say more, cheers buddy.

i think we will just have to agree to disagree on this one ! lol

most of you dislike him probably cos hes english.

thats rite only beacuse hes english hes a unreal fighter hes proved that wat about when he almost got knocked out wit a knee by elvis he got up and showed his heart and fukd him up

UNLESS!!! The current crop of killers ALL retire due to age… Iceman/Wanderlei/Houston etc… but there are a load of young guns too so…yep no chance…

At 6foot2 he should drop to MW end of.

Lets just set up a match with rampage and bisping, if bisping wins he can stay in the UFC, if he loses, he gets banned for life from the UFC and the US.

English fighters are weak, who cares about Bisping and the rest of them. The only people who are hyped on Bisping are soap opera fans who should tune in to Guiding Light instead of following MMA. Where do the English get off talking like they have or hold any MMA belt of signifigance to the world? This hasn’t and won’t ever happen. Haven’t you ever heard them speak. They’ll never get past the C3PO complex. Unless Big Ben gets in the ring with them it will never happen. Good luck Englishmen. Go and get em tough guys.

I think Bisping is the greatest! I watched him during the Ultimate Fighter Episode and he was a likeable guy and funny. I haven’t missed any of his fights since and from what I see he is no slouch. Silva on the other hand comes across very arrogant and it is really hard to handle his cockiness. I think that is why so many people love Bisping and other down to earth fighters like Forest Griffin – They don’t talk a whole lot of trash and come across like regualr kinda guys!
