who the hell is charles mccarthy?

That’s not even going to be a close one…McCarthy hasn’t done much in the cage and he was a weakling on TUF. I was hoping for a more formidable opponent for Bisbing. I still wish he would have settled the score with Hammil.

are they trying to pump bisping’s tires with this fight?? If not, it’s quite the slap in the face i’d say……

Is this a joke??? I’m not a Bisping fan, but he’s going to eat McCarthy up!

why is Bisbing so overrated? Put him in there with MacDonald, not McFarthy!

McCarthy who? Oh right the guy that is 1-1 in the octagon and did nothing on TUF.

The kick Loiseau landed to his ribs was DEADLY!!

Bisping takes this with no troubles.

what a waste – I guess they don’t want Bisping to lose his debut at 185. Not much upside in this for Bisping though…no credit for a win and disaster if he loses.

You people didn’t actually believe, as some were suggesting, that Bisping would be the opponent for the return of Evan Tanner did you? There is a ton of cash to be made in England as long as Bisping is the poster boy. They are always going to give him very winnable fights over there, especially for his debut at a new weight class.

I guess Jason macdonald didn’t know what he was saying when he said the UFC was coming to Canada for UFC 83.

UFC 83 is just 1 week after UFC 82..definately no title on the line for UFC 83

I would love to see Chainsaw cut him apart. McCarthy, even when he loses, at least puts on a good show. (i.e. his fight with David Loiseau)

Speaking of the Crow, for a “185-pound weight class hungry for talented marquee names” when is he going to re-appear?

This could be a fight night and not UFC 83. Zuffa did say that in 2008 they would be holding fight nights in places other than Las Vegas and Hollywood, FL

I’m not surprised. UKPoster Child vs I just got kicked in my liver by a crazy hard spinning back kick and I’ll ball up and cry now McWho.. I can take this whole take on Pussping being a serious contender in any division in the ufc.

I would of been surprised if he was matched up in his first fight against.

Leben
McDonald
Franklin
Nate Marq
Alemida
Lutter

He might do pretty as middle weight at wec.

Charles McCarthy? LOL. What a joke. I’m surprised they didn’t dig up Josh Rafferty to take on Bisping. This match up is a disgrace. Before the Bisping/Evans fight, Dana was saying that both guys were in the Top 10 of the LHW division. If that was true, and he moved down a weight class, a much weaker weight class, you would think that he would stay in the Top 10, if he was truely in the top 10 (I don’t think he ever was in the LHW division).

Another dissapointing matchup booked by the UFC.

Another can to beef up his resume, I hope this can kicks his arse, 2 losses in a row would be nice.

Something doesnt’t add up with this one….

This is just pathetic. Dana could you please at least try to make it look like you are throwing Bisping in against a decent opponent ? CAPTAIN MISERBALE ? I know him only for being sad all the time and eating oatmeal at TUF 4 kitchen table lol.

Way to go Dana, look out for # 1 (yourself), only worry about the UFC brass and your bank account. Forget about the fans who actually want to see Bisping get laid out in dramatic fashion.

Guys he should be fighting who are “decent” and would at least put up a solid showing to some extent

1. Edwin DeWees (baby face)
2. Trevor Prangley
3. Ivan Salaverry
4. Scott Smith

I mean come on Dana, you can’t possibly get more sacrificial a lamb than Charles McCarthy. Your a douchebag !!!

Another can to beef up his resume, I hope this can kicks his arse, 2 losses in a row would be nice.

u drinkin pal??
are you really trying to say you hope this nobody beats bisping??
common now!

who the hell is charles mccarthy?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=4MgZ7fEr2xU

i’m not saying he should be fighting for a title shot or anything, but give him some more credit then this goof!

Rumor has it that Mary Kate Olsen put Charles McCarthy in a triangle choke at a downtown Manhattan night club last week. Again it could just be a rumor…..

Mike Bisbing vs Ed Herman!!!

VERY WELL PUT AS USUAL MIKE !

BUT YOU SEE DANA CALLED THEM BOTH TOP 10 LHW BECAUSE THE CARD BLEW WHALE COCK AND HE NEEDED TO MAKE SOME MONEY OFF PPV SALES. AGAIN A GREAT PLACE TO HAVE A UFC EVENT ACROSS THE STREET FROM PROJECTS IN ONE OF THE MOST CRIME RIDDEN CITIES IN THE U.S. (NEWARK)

march 3 is a sunday and i think that ufc 82 is supposed to be march 2 so tell me how this is gonna work out?

I thought Bispings opponent progression was natural during his first few fights. After all you should not throw them to the wolves just because the won a TV show. I thought he was competing against guys at his skill level at the time, and was progressing to more difficult fighters, eventually securing a fight against a top 10 (UFC Rating not mine)LHW. Now he drops where he should have an advantage in size and strength, and they give him a gimme. Very lame. He should be fighting a top 10 MW. Still a fan of his, but this fight on paper is way too one sided.

march 3 is a sunday and i think that ufc 82 is supposed to be march 2 so tell me how this is gonna work out?

 sorry i mean a monday and supposed to be on march 1st.

Bisping is a good fighter. I don’t know who this guy is, but I can’t believe they wouldn’t give him a serious contender. I can’t believe Bisping would take the fight. I guess they are trying to ease him into it but like it was said before, if he was a serious top 10 LHW then he should hold up as a middleweight too.

its not official yet but, dude i actually started liking bisping after i he was robbed in the evans fight but, dude is going to loose all my respect again if he steps that far down in competition, its a joke match-up like josh haynes was, like eric schafer was, like sinosic was bisping needs to fight SOMEBODY not a nobody

I would love to see Chainsaw cut him apart. McCarthy, even when he loses, at least puts on a good show. (i.e. his fight with David Loiseau)

Speaking of the Crow, for a “185-pound weight class hungry for talented marquee names” when is he going to re-appear?

I don’t think “The Crow” will ever be back in the UFC, he is not the same fighter since he got beat by franklin.

Captain Miserable gets knocked out in the 1st

Hell, if I was from England, I’d be pissed as hell that my hometown fighter has this fight. He drops from a higher weight class and they don’t give him some serious competition?

Can Can, let’s do the Can Can, let’s do the Can. (that’s the song playing in my head right now)

Could he be fighting in cage rage cos thats on in London on march 8th!

They are probably afraid to give Bisping real talent for a fight in England cause the judges would screw that guy over again like with Hamill. Instead they throw him a bum so the fans from England can make believe Bisping is such an incredible fighter like when Bisping took on the great 8-11 Elvis Sinosic.

Truth be told…is anyone really surprised by this?

I would love to see Chainsaw cut him apart. McCarthy, even when he loses, at least puts on a good show. (i.e. his fight with David Loiseau)
Speaking of the Crow, for a “185-pound weight class hungry for talented marquee names” when is he going to re-appear?

 McCarthy didnt get dominated by Louiseau. He even won the first round. I say McCarthy wins by RNC.

I had to check to see if it was April 1st.

I THINK BISPING SHOULD JUST JUMP OFF A CLIFF!!!

I don’t think “The Crow” will ever be back in the UFC, he is not the same fighter since he got beat by franklin.

I seen the crows fight on showtime..and he looked horrible..like no takedown defense..got mounted like 100 times in the match..I don’t think he is coming back..Franklin fight might of fried his brain.

Rumor has it that Mary Kate Olsen put Charles McCarthy in a triangle choke at a downtown Manhattan night club last week. Again it could just be a rumor…..

If bisping can keep it standing i say he wins but if this fight goes to the ground i say it is anybodies fight as mcarthy a a very good ground fighter and i think he is underated because of his highlight reel loss to the crow. But dont be suprised to see Charles win this fight

i like the bisping vs. jason mcdonald idea a lot better than this, but i guess its better for business for him to start of with a win in his new weight class, and he needs to be a little more impressive this time in front of his home crowd if the ufc wants to keep the hype up in england…i hope bisping highlights this dude with a flying knee

I hope this is an undercard fight cause that’s a pretty weak matchup. I’m sick of all the coddling that Bisbing is getting in the UFC…they could ahve at least given him a B level fighter in this weak division. I hope McCarthy beats the snot out of him and KOs him in vicious style.

Hell, if I was from England, I’d be pissed as hell that my hometown fighter has this fight. He drops from a higher weight class and they don’t give him some serious competition?

Well said, I would think most MMA fans all over the world are disgusted with the match up.

Thats too funny!! I’m not suprized. Its gonna be another weak fight, Especially since the 185 is being dominated by the spider, bisping wouldn’t even be able to be a contender against anderson silva. But i wouldn’t be suprised that if he beats this guy, and anderson silva beats dan henderson that they’ll give bisping to silva WATCH FOR It!!!

Charles is a tough dude…he def won the first round vs. The Crow and will not be a pushover for Bisping…

Everyone is talking about Charles being a can…lets talk about Bisping being extremely overrated and over-hyped

Chainsaw by heel hook

his ass should fight terry martin or alan belcher as a real fight not a canned picked up fight….pussping wont last as a middleweight for too long im sure they will feed him cans 3 or 4 fights in a row and throw him in on serious contention status…just like the rashad evans bisping fight being implicated as a “top 5” lightheavy weights.

Okay folks…let’s be honest, Bisping is going to destroy the rest of this division. Other than Silva, Henderson, and hopefully soon to be resigned Lindland, who’s gojng to challenge Bisping? The guy was robbed against Evans in a very close fight(my opinion). I see him holding the belt, or atleast challenging for it, very soon.

All you Bisping haters take note, the guy doesn’t book his own fights, and he’s proven he’s not afraid of tough competition. Give the UFC time to develop him. He’s still young, and has tons of potential…I look forward to seeing him take on Franklin, Lutter, MacDouchebag, and all the rest. And remember, Hendo doesn’t really want to fight at 185…

Bisping, the future 185ib champion of the UFC!!!

This should be about the sports fans what we want and the buisness will follow oh but the ufc does not work that way thats why the mma world need s a competiton not an arrogant prick lke dana white and zuffa fratattas buying pride so they killed it and thus bought the competition
but what do i know i’m just an mma fan

Bisping, the future 185ib champion of the UFC!!!

Listen i respect you for liking Bisping BUT, as much as i think he will be athreat for the title, there are many bad match ups in the 185 weight class for him.

Hendo, although i feel bisping has better stand up, hendo will throw him around like a little girl

Silva, I think is a better match up than the Hendo fight, BUT come on…….. I’t Anderson Silva will anybody beat him?

Franklin, I think that would be a greaat fight until franklin took him to the groun, and he would probably stop Bisping as much as it pains me to say it.

I think bisping would beat down, Leban, Macdonald, Martin, and terrel, BUT oncce again I feel…..

Herman would be aterrible match up for bisping, he has a solid chin, and would ground and pound the shit out of bisping.

I dont think it will be long until he might enter the welterwieght division, cause 185 will only leave him so far, example…..FRANKLIN

I know McCarthy sucks but i hope he beats the shit outta Bisping.

MAN! after the Bisping, Hammil fiasco, we (myself included)were all like “I’m never paying for another UFC until they schedule a rematch.” I don’t care what you think of Hammil or Bisping, we deserve to see that fight.

…and for the record, I’ll be shelling out $40 on Dec 29, Oh well.

Charles by Bispings dislocated elbow.

Bisping, the future 185ib champion of the UFC!!!

Seriously? Come on Bisping, if you’re going to sound off you should tell people it’s you. That’s not cool man.

Sucks for Hamil, and for us the fans that we won’t see a rematch in the USA!!!! between those two, dammit

What a stupid fight, I could live with it not being on the main card at all.
Big risk for Bisping, does nothing for his career and huge for Mccarthy if he could pull off the win damn lol.
But yeah Bisping should kill him, what a waste of time.

Charles McCarthy? Why the hell Dana sign him to fight Bisping? He’s not even in the same level as Bisping, maybe Dana was just using him as a walkout to make Bisping look good or maybe Dana’s just a cheap bastard for putting low level fighers againts the high level fighers so he doesn’t have to pay much money in this fight. One of you don’t know McCarthy is don’t worry he’s not too bad, he actually fought againts David Loiseau which you might have seen it on UFC Unleashed and he also fought on the Ultimate Fighter show. I’d like to see him fight Matt Lindland.

Y did Bisping even accept this fight.

off topic: Interesting interview with Pat Miletich, talking about how much potential Cory Hill has:

IGN: Who do you think is the fighter in your camp that’s off most MMA fans’ radar screens, but has the most potential for future success?

Pat: Corey Hill.

IGN: Oh, from Ultimate Fighter…

Pat: Well, you know, he wasn’t 100% truthful to get on the show, so he went in there absolutely knowing nothing about Jens Pulver or me or Jeremy Horn. It’s funny because Corey Hill looks at me now and says “You were a World Champion?” And I say “Yeah, I held the title for three, three and a half years”, and he says “No kidding.” He doesn’t know a lot about the sport, but his boxing, kicking, his submission stuff, his positional stuff, he’s working on all that, and his wrestling ability and his ability to take people down when he wants to do is unreal. I don’t know any 155-pounders out there who could take him down.

IGN: Really? Not even Sean Sherk?

Pat: Sean Sherk would have a lot of real trouble taking down Corey Hill, mark my words.

IGN: Wow.

Pat: There are wrestlers that are tough and ready for this sport, and he’s one of the best. He’s a rottweiler. No one else has that body type. He’s got wide shoulders and a waist like my wife’s.

Besides him, LC Davis is fighting for the 145-pound title, he’s popping on the scene, everyone knows about Rockwell, Ryan McGivern is just coming into his own, Rory Markham’s working a lot on his ground game, there’s a lot of guys who have serious potential.

IGN: What were the circumstances that led to Matt Hughes, Robbie Lawler, and Matt Pena leaving to form their own camp?

Pat: Money. Money was one of the more motivating factors. They were offered money from a sports agent to start a facility down there using Matt’s name. He’s been commuting from Hillsborough, which is 3.5 hours away, and he’s got kids and a family, so it’s not been easy. I couldn’t do it, I know that much. He decided that it was time for him and his family and his career to start up a new place closer to him to allow him to train for fights and see his family. I don’t blame him.

IGN: Was it unexpected?

Pat: Not necessarily unexpected, they came to me, told me about it, told me they were working on it, and I said “Awesome, do what you gotta do.”

absolute rubish

Bisping, the future 185ib champion of the UFC!!!

I think it’s a bit optimistic to say he will destroy the rest of the division outside of Dan and Anderson. I am not saying he won’t have any success, but he’s not going to walk through Leben, Grove, Martin, Herman, Lutter, J-Mac and Tanner. He’s certainly not ready to fight Rich Franklin. I would like to see him face Terry Martin next. Bisping’s technique vs. Martin’s power would be interesting.

WTF????

This is a damn joke right? How are we ever going to take
Bisping seriously when he won’t step up in his tier of opponent.

J-Mac would ruin this wanker.

You know what’s going to happen. Fedor and Bisping are going to end up fighting because their won’t be anyone left to not fight. (yes i am aware of the weight class issues)

“Fighters Fuckin Fight” – Ross Pointon.

If/when Bisping wins I want to see him face…

Lindland (debut)
J-mac
Okami (i don’t think he would do very well w/ Yush)
I want to see how their strenght matches up.

He doesnt deserve Franklin or Silva yet or with a W over
McCarthy.

weird march 2nd rumor has canada in april 19th i believe so having another ufc event a week later on the 8th?? is a tad weird, and then u have karo parisyan saying end of march he might be fighting at palms casino, tito says cinco de mayo weekend??
who really knows what who or when anyone is fighting

I really don’t see Bisping making any kind of impact in the MW division.

Lame match, anything that has BIsbing in it is a disappointing match though. Man if Bisbing loses this one then he REALLY has nowhere to go, this could be GREAT!!
This had better not be the main event.

He is no threat to bisping

i think bisping tearing through mccarthy

Cool, this will be a fight I won’t waste my money on and I won’t feel like I missed out either. I will plan my vacation around this one.

I think it’s a bit optimistic to say he will destroy the rest of the division outside of Dan and Anderson. I am not saying he won’t have any success, but he’s not going to walk through Leben, Grove, Martin, Herman, Lutter, J-Mac and Tanner. He’s certainly not ready to fight Rich Franklin. I would like to see him face Terry Martin next. Bisping’s technique vs. Martin’s power would be interesting.

Cool enough, we all have our views – and I am very optimistic about Bispings chances. You’re right, he will find some competitive fights in the 185ib division – and he will be in tough if/when he faces the likes of Silva, Hendo, Lindland. I can’t see any of the guys you mentioned (other than Leben or mabye Lutter, and defintely Franklin) actually giving him a fight. He faught a world class wrestler (Evans), who carries some heavy hands, and he was never in jepardy…None of the guys he’ll be fighting now will be near as strong as Evans was…

All you who have criticized Bisping for his opponents, wake up…blame the UFC for not throwing him in against a legit contender. And to the guy who said “J-Mac would ruin this wanker”, good luck my friend. Mac’s not quite in Bisping’s league.

Again, Bisping will tear things up. Personally, I’d love to see him fight Franklin (a fighter I very much respect)… he’d make short work of the former champ…too much on his feet, and there’s no way Franklin could keep him on the ground…

bisping lacks ko power… feed him to pete drago sell so he can get back on the winning track.

Well this fight blows. They should spice it up a little, put Josh Haynes in there, and then all three of them can slap and bite and scratch each other while screaming like girls.

Put Rampage on the side doing the running man with the ring girls. Then i’ll watch

Lose Lose for Bisping. A win is expected with no suprise and a loss will break him in the MW division.

What a stupid debut fight. At least let him fight Mr. Speedo, Shonie Carter.

VERY WELL PUT AS USUAL MIKE !

BUT YOU SEE DANA CALLED THEM BOTH TOP 10 LHW BECAUSE THE CARD BLEW WHALE COCK AND HE NEEDED TO MAKE SOME MONEY OFF PPV SALES. AGAIN A GREAT PLACE TO HAVE A UFC EVENT ACROSS THE STREET FROM PROJECTS IN ONE OF THE MOST CRIME RIDDEN CITIES IN THE U.S. (NEWARK)

Whale penises can be up to 6 feet long.

Hey Dana, since you insist on spoonfeeding Bisping, why don’t you have him fight a nice fluffy kitten for his next match? My money would be on the kitten.

This is a joke! They just want to keep Bispings record in England unbeaten. Just another marketing plot by Dana. This really is just stealing money from the fans. If anyone orders this ppv they are clearly stupid. This is your main event? This is a joke.

MAN! after the Bisping, Hammil fiasco, we (myself included)were all like “I’m never paying for another UFC until they schedule a rematch.” I don’t care what you think of Hammil or Bisping, we deserve to see that fight.

agree that was a steal a cheat a farse bisbing vs HAMIlll oh now the ufc is waiting for him to be totally deaf and blind then the will rematch, RUBBISH I SAY

Listen i respect you for liking Bisping BUT, as much as i think he will be athreat for the title, there are many bad match ups in the 185 weight class for him.

I dont think it will be long until he might enter the welterwieght division, cause 185 will only leave him so far, example…..FRANKLIN

If Bisping was robbed in the evans fight..then Matt Hammil was Car jacked and shot by the judges in their fight. If Dana considers " Bisping " to be these top10? lhw..when dropping down to 185..why is he set up to fight Charles..he doesn’t choose his opponents Well at least he can say I want to fight the best in the division from JumpStreet. He will go on camera and say how good Charles is and he is a dangerous opponent..all tha tjumbo talk..but he knows he got a freebee..I saw his true colors when he got manhandled by Hammil in every rounf of their fight..to turn around and talk all that gack..even Goldberg and Rogan during the fight gave it to Hammil..but Joe was feeling to femmine interview him afterwards..not like he did with Gray Manard..Michael is a good MMA fighter..but lightyears from being great..and not what the UFC paints him as.

Hey Franklin..just pulled out of the Travis Lutter fight..why not fight Lutter?? That would be a better fight to see.

what a waste – I guess they don’t want Bisping to lose his debut at 185. Not much upside in this for Bisping though…no credit for a win and disaster if he loses.

One would have to agree with that!

I’d say there is more pressure on fighting schmuks due to the downside of losing to one.

Mike Bisbing vs Ed Herman!!!

would have to put money on Bisping for that one

bisping lacks ko power… feed him to pete drago sell so he can get back on the winning track.

think drago has lost just about every televised fight he has ever had. what a hanger on

think drago has lost just about every televised fight he has ever had. what a hanger on

Pete Sell is one tuff Mofo..win or lose puts on a show and leaves everything he has in the cage..I would love to see Bisping fight Pete Sell..IMO Pete would be a dangerous opponent for the Brit..remember he beat Charles McCarthy on the TUF 4..so Bisping fighting Charles now says alot about how good Bisping is right.

I could see Bisping being top ten in that division, buti can’t see him beating franklin, mcdonald, oakami, silva, henderson, etc. Bisping is a good Light Heavyweight and a good Middleweight—but is there any division where he could be considered “great?”

Prediction:

Dana keeps kissing the brit’s ass.

NEXT TIME Bisping is on a card, I’m taking a break from the TV. I can’t stand that half assed fighter. He should not even be in the UFC. He sucks.

Are you kidding me UFC / Dana!!?? That’s what you have to offer us…the fan? Bisping vs. McCarthy…this must be a joke. First steroids, then the Fedor/Randy fiasco and now spoon feeding Bisping a walk over opponent. Man…I’m begining to lose my patience.

finally someones opens their eyes bisping sucks

i think they should at least would of match bisping with Kendal grove

lets face it, somebody important loves Bisbing. He’s decent but not that great. what about a rematch with the guy who clearly beat him……Hammil???
 is it me?

Booooring!

I would love to see Chainsaw cut him apart. McCarthy, even when he loses, at least puts on a good show. (i.e. his fight with David Loiseau)
Speaking of the Crow, for a “185-pound weight class hungry for talented marquee names” when is he going to re-appear?

As soon as he finds his gahonas. He lost them in the Franklin fight and he hasn’t been the same since. I hope he can get back on track, because he is such an exciting fighter.

bisping lacks ko power… feed him to pete drago sell so he can get back on the winning track.

i think he lacks KO power for the bigger boys at 205. he may be able to KO some folks at 185.

Personally, I’d love to see him fight Franklin (a fighter I very much respect)… he’d make short work of the former champ…too much on his feet, and there’s no way Franklin could keep him on the ground…

..i’d have to agree. after Bisping’s performance against Hamill/Evans, there’s no way i see Franklin keeping Bisping on the ground (if he’d even attempt to take down Bisping). I’d put my money on Bisping for the W via UD against Franklin.

Franklin has dominated the MW divison (minus Silva)…. but it has been the WEAKEST divison….so i’m not very impressed at all with Franklin. the MW div’s just a black hole for talent.

Ha! captain miserable is going to get creamed , oh my god – what the hell is dana thinking , like seriuosly, i love bisping but first fight at 185, he should hae asked for a harder fight !

There is a ton of cash to be made in England as long as Bisping is the poster boy. They are always going to give him very winnable fights over there, especially for his debut at a new weight class.

Yeah this is very true. I wonder if Michael minds being put up against bums?

I see Charles winning via submission and Bisping sitting there with that “I have to take a dump” face he always has going on.

Thats too funny!! I’m not suprized. Its gonna be another weak fight, Especially since the 185 is being dominated by the spider, bisping wouldn’t even be able to be a contender against anderson silva. But i wouldn’t be suprised that if he beats this guy, and anderson silva beats dan henderson that they’ll give bisping to silva WATCH FOR It!!!

The only way for this to happen is if Dan Henderson walks into the fight drunk, and if Bisping sucks Dana White’s itty bitty dick for a second time. Oh, and then a third time. Then all of the sudden, there’s a title fight in England….woooohoooo.

i love how everyone is hatein on bisping still yeah he lost t matt hamil get the fuck over it and he beat evans… rashaad bitched out like every other wrestler does when they know there loseing

bisping is gonna make it to henderson for the title and i dont see him winning

I don’t think “The Crow” will ever be back in the UFC, he is not the same fighter since he got beat by franklin.

“The Crow” fights for ElitceXC along with “Ruthless” Robbi Lawler, Nick Diaz and Kimbo Slice!

They should put bisbing against Yushin Okami or maybe Jeremy Horn, UFC should give him a test but not a cake-walk!

That’s not even going to be a close one…McCarthy hasn’t done much in the cage and he was a weakling on TUF. I was hoping for a more formidable opponent for Bisbing. I still wish he would have settled the score with Hammil.

charles thats my fucking coach i train with him 6 days a week he busts his fucking ass … charles is my homeboy know dont be talking fucking shit nothing wrong with bisping but dont talk about charles

The news is quite shocking, but I believe Charles McCarthy is underrated and shouldn’t be taken lightly. Kevin Kelly says someone like Edwin Dewees would put up a more solid fight, but there’s no doubt in my mind McCarthy would win over Dewees, who is pretty weak in my opinion.

I hope McCarthy wins this match, just to have the non-believers to eat their own words for breakfast, lunch, dinner and a midnight snack!

what a stupid fucking fight this is.almost as bad check kongo vs justin mccally

I hope McCarthy (who I’ve never even heard of) absolutely destroys Bisping and uses him as a stepping stone. And to the people who say Bisping beat Evans, wow. 15-1 my ass he’s on a 2 loss streak right now and everyone knows it.

michael b would look like nate quarry if he fought rich franklin. michael b is a little pussy, and has not fought at the level of franklin.matt h schooled him very lucky they were in bispings back yard.

I love how everyone here talks tough sitting behing their computer saying how McCarthy is a bum. Get into the cage with him and he will rip your arm off. McCarthy 2nd round arm bar.

I cant believe how many think bisbing is going to tear through the 185lbs division.. first off leben would knock him out, macdonald would choke him out, sakara who also dropped to 185 would pick him aprt then knock him out, herman would ground and pound him, jorge rivera would knock him out, and im not even mentioning franklin, marquardt, horn, hendo, silva.. couse they would all destroy bisbing… hes good but hes got a way to go before he challenges any of the top guys..

Oh and McCarthy will win by ground and pound or submission…

Bisping has one of the best takedown defenses in the UFC. He could really shake things up in the Middle weights…..

I want to see Bisping fight Anderson Silva that would be amazing, although I am a fan of Bisping – Sliva would win easy, He’s crazy kick boxer!

patrick cote vs michael bisping

i think you all under estimate bisping wayyyy too much as for him fighting people like anderson silva rich franklin and those kind of fights on his 1st fight in a new weight division its just not going to happen this is just to get him used to it i also think that after a few fights in this division he will be ready for people like anderson silva and he think he will be too strong for silva and i cant wait to see wot you all write about him then lol.

Bisping too strong for Silva. Not in this lifetime. Bisping could be the Worlds Strongest Man and still would not be too strong for Silva. I dont care how strong Bisping is, if he eats a couple of those sharp knees or a flurry of strikes from all angles he will be in big trouble. Bisping will never have the tools to challenge Anderson Silva. In fact very few fighters out there right now do. Anderson has too many weapons and he is at the top of his game. It will take a very skilled fighter to even challenge him. The only other UFC fighters that could even match skill sets would be St. Pierre and BJ Penn. BJ is where he belongs and St. Pierre could move up in weight i suppose but its not likely.
