Anderson Silva Tko 3:52 rd 1.
That’s what would happen.

makes some sense, but then again this guy seems to duck real competition.

Thanks, it is a good read. Not your typical Bisping. He shows a more humble side.

One thing that bothered me is who are these people that think he can beat the spider? lol

He kept it real and you got to appreciate the honesty!

He takes a lot of crap from us but I do expect him to be tough at 185 lb. He should be able to demolish Mr. tuppaware, if not training didnt go as well as he thought!

We keep calling McCarthy tuppaware, its getting really funny. I hope it gets back to McCarthy, he would probably be honored to even here is name being talked about!

I can see it now…UFC 83 Bruce Buffer is going to announce:
In this corner Charles “Tuppaware” McCarthy, I would LMAO! Props to VM on a good one thats seems to be sticking around

bisping was not impressive in his last two fights at light heavyweight so hopefully he can make a strong comeback at middleweight. He def doesn’t deserve to get a title shot just yet but with a few quality wins, he will be right up there with the contenders. I dont see why he wouldn’t be a title contender, silva has beaten everyone else in the division already so it may just work out and if it does happen, im goin wit bisping all the wayyyy

I would pay good money to see Silva wipe Bisping from existence.

I’d like to meet these “people” that were saying Bisping could beat Silva.

I like how Bisping is starting his own rumours about beating Silva. Let’s see you beat Franklin or Hendo before you start making up stuff. I remember Terry Martin was talking about beating Silva ofcourse that was before the Leben fight.

he should be thinking about fighting real competition
 and bitting this guys first
1.leben
2.okami
3.lutter
4.franklin
5.henderson

then u might have a chance against silva

I’d like to meet these “people” that were saying Bisping could beat Silva.

it was his son.
but I still like Bisping

it was his son.
but I still like Bisping

haha

What dream world is this guy living in? No one said he could beat Silva. In fact no one said he is a top 20 middleweight.

bisping throws punches alot like rich so unles his ground game is a hundred times better it will be a while before he gets the spida

Bisping, your good, but not that good. Presently, you have a lot to prove, but it is a def possibility he could have what it takes (this is mma, unpredictability is part of the game)… until judgement day….

Anderson Silva will fucking murder him if and when they ever do fight.

Your gonna get Friggen smoked

First sensible thing I’ve heard this fog-breather say in a long time.

i probably one of the few people who still like Bisping and i think he will definently be a force at middleweight

he should be thinking about fighting real competition
and bitting this guys first
1.leben
2.okami
3.lutter
4.franklin

Leben?? chris leben?? lol

i probably one of the few people who still like Bisping and i think he will definently be a force at middleweight

I too am with you on this one Keystone.

He just needs to control his mouth. I’m quite excited about his prospects at this weight.

I wish him the best but this division has some depth now and I don’t see him beating anybody like Rich Franklin or Dan Henderson. He would get killed by either guy IMO so he has the right idea by not worrying about the Spider right now because he does have a lot to prove. Maybe he will be a more exciting fighter at MW, God I hope so.

I don’t think “the count” would make it 2 minutes with the spider, nuff said.

I dunno. I think of Bisping as primarily a striker, and i think thats what it takes to beat silva.
Everyone says “oh well you need to be a good wrestler to beat silva, and take him down and control him.” I disagree. That’s what everyone was saying about Liddell for years, but really you just need a good technical striker to beat Liddell.
I’m not saying that Bisping could ever strike with silva, but I think it might be a step in the right direction.

Come on bisping! Some guys like to hate on everyone! Bisping has definatley got the tools to be a threat at middleweight. He’s worked well on his takedown defence or at least avoiding damage and has now gone back to working muay thai and kick boxing……. I believe he will be a threat. Some of you guys want other middleweights to just lie down and bow down to anderson silva. That aint in bisping’s make-up cos he’s got a fighters instinct.

bisping, please admit you lost to hamill! it was the biggest “get the f*c* outta here” decision in UFC history!

I too am with you on this one Keystone.

Im on Board! Not saying he can beat Silva but that division is starving for a contender and a few big wins will get him to the Big Show. If Bisping ever earns a title shot, they will have it in England and sell TONS of tickets, since Silva doesnt mind going to Hostile Territory and Kicking a lil hometown Hiney!

The rest of the division is wide open and if he starts fighting meaningful competition and wins, he could be right in the hunt for a title shot. At best it wont happen till 2009, or 2010, but down the line it is a possibility. At LHW, his main problem was his size, now at middleweight his size will be an advantage so I wont be shocked to see him find success at middleweight. Keep in mind he was undefeated for a long time and no matter what, thats hard to do!

If he is serious about trying to step up and become a middleweight contender he is going to have to start off by beating McFedries, Leben, or someone Hardnosed and tough like that. Until I see him step up and defeat a tough fighter like that, I just can not take him serious!

Straight up. Bisping is the MMa version of ^The Truman Show^starring Jim Carey..he is playing himself.

fedor Close To Signing With Ufc???*
http://www.mmafightline.com/news/200…o_318666.shtml

Sources close to negotiations between the UFC and Fedor’s management have informed MMAFightline.com that the two sides are currently discussing a possible one fight deal that would bring Fedor to the cage, presumably to face Randy Couture.
It is unknown whether Couture would end his lawsuit and come back to the UFC to face Fedor if the UFC were able to offer such a fight, but Couture has stated on numerous occasions that this is the only fight that makes sense at this stage of his career.

It should be noted that nothing is eminent at this point and negotiations are in the general discussion phase. If made, however, the deal would be unprecedented. The UFC is notorious for locking up fighters in long term deals and not allowing them to leave as champions. We’ll have more on this story as it develops.

Bisping will knock out McCarthy.

bisping, please admit you lost to hamill! it was the biggest “get the f*c* outta here” decision in UFC history!

Actually, I’d give the “get the f*c* outta here” award to Rashad Evans for his last two fights. Not the worst in the sport’s history, but I think the worst in recent history.

Three parts of a four part interview with Bisping are available at http://www.setanta.com/en/UK/Our-Sports/UFC/. Did you know he and Rampage are homeboys?

Must be a forum in England he frequents, little ego trip for that swelling head of his I’m sure. At least he’s semi-honest and realizes he has to prove himself in this division before there is any possibility for contender talk. He has the tools and ability to become a threat at middleweight some day, always felt he was a little small so the drop was smart. Check that… kinda smart, a machine called The Spider does reign supreme there.

If he is serious about trying to step up and become a middleweight contender he is going to have to start off by beating McFedries, Leben, or someone Hardnosed and tough like that. Until I see him step up and defeat a tough fighter like that, I just can not take him serious!

I agree set him up with a tough stand up fighter who brings it and see what Bisping has or perhaps doesn’t have for him, he hasn’t exactly blown through anyone and that Hamill fight was a total disgrace.

Three parts of a four part interview with Bisping are available at http://www.setanta.com/en/UK/Our-Sports/UFC/. Did you know he and Rampage are homeboys?

Yeah, didnt you see Rampage giving Bisping all kinds of instruction during his fight with Rampage?

Yeah, didnt you see Rampage giving Bisping all kinds of instruction during his fight with Rampage?

Correction: during his fight against Rashad

This makes much more sense and I think people actually need to give this guy the benefit of the doubt. His whole career he has fought larger guys and done well. I am looking forward to seeing what he can do at the lighter weight class.

Three parts of a four part interview with Bisping are available at http://www.setanta.com/en/UK/Our-Sports/UFC/. Did you know he and Rampage are homeboys?

Did see Bisping now trains at the same camp as Rampage, not sure if it’s full-time or part-time though. Bit surprising to hear they’re good friends or even friends, I would never have guessed that and still have trouble fully beleiving it LOL! Might have just been him rooting for a training partner, ya know a camp bond type deal.

No they are boys and have been since before September. Kongo is also down with them!

Michael Bisping is an arrogant fighter and very overrated. I dont like him because of his disrespect towards fights and hes a flat out asshole. But he will defeated Charles McCarthy fairly easy IMO, but he’s way to cocky to say he thinks he has a chance against Anderson Silva, Bisping, even in defeating McCarthy will not be upon the top 20 MW’s so the onyl way he will get a title shot, well, he porbably will because the UFC’s MW Division is so weak

WAR MCCARTHY ahah

he should be thinking about fighting real competition
and bitting this guys first
1.leben
2.okami

Agreed, he needs to knock a couple of these guys down first.

I too am with you on this one Keystone.

He just needs to control his mouth. I’m quite excited about his prospects at this weight.

Yep, i think Bisping will shake up this division. He’ll be very dangerous as a Middy.

Bisping has some learning to do but his takedown defence is world class. He needs to let his hands really go though. Occassionally he needs to swing for the fences. He had Rashad on the back foot a few times in their fight but he paused and let him back in. It may have been because of his fitness or maybe just confidence… Should be enjoyable watching him fight in this divison though.

Everyone needs to just relax, because my inside source has confirmed that Ross Pointon was the DumbAss that made the quote that Bisping could be Silva. We can all go back to our normal lives now, knowing that the comment came out of Pointon’s mouth….

*Beat

i hope charles ko’s bisping early

Oh yea, now I do remember seeing all 3 of them training on the Countdown to UFC 82 show. Still sick over the fact Herring won that fight, I mean he did and all I just have grown quite the dislike for him and his sluggish surviving style. Thanks though man, you’re always on top of things.

it was his son.
but I still like Bisping

That’s funny man…You’re probably right about his son. hahaha

I won’t be impressed until he proves it. His only loss was to a guy who also should probably be at MW himself.

No more arcticles on info based from this source. Completely unreliable.

P.S. I hate Bisbing

P.S Bisbing lost to Hamill.

the guy’s a b-level fighter at best

Maybe he should fight at Middleweight first before thinking he can take on the champion.

Coming from a guy who almost got KTFO by Elvis Sinosic maybe he should just be happy to be in the UFC at all.

BTW Hamill won, you lost a boxing match to a deaf wrestler.

FAIL.

i dont think he can beat silva yet, but he will be a top middleweight in the ufc.

like i said ufc wants to protect their fighters records. give them some greaseball fighters to rack up some wins and avoid fighters that’ll knock right right why not give him lutter or franklin?

The “people” saying Bisping can beat Silva are in many places such as
Asylums
Crack Houses

I don’t see Bisping ever holding a belt. He’s a very technical fighter, but I just don’t see it. He’s like a more well rounded Lebin, a great test to overcome in order to get a title shot.

Well, maybe one day he will get a title shot, I’m sure Dana can arrange the fights accordingly for his UK golden boy, but he’ll never have the strap around his waist.

Silva would would destroy him

i haven’t been very impressed with bisping yet. he’s got some decent wins and decent performances, but against a guy like silva he’d get dimantled, boxed up, and sent back to matey town wherever via air mail.

Has Bisbing ever even fought any noteworthy opponents? An undefeated record is only worth the caliber of your competition. He was in a league of his own on TUF. The jury is still out with him for me. I’d like to see him against Rich Franklin, and then we will all know if he is the real deal or not. Isn’t it sad that Rich is going to become a gate keeper to title contention?
Call me crazy, but I think that a refined Nate Marquart will be the one to dethrone Silva. He had some shining moments in there fight, and was doing ok until getting stood up by Big John.

people who think bisping could beat KIng Anderson are fuc%%g stupid

P.S. I hate Bisbing

P.S Bisbing lost to Hamill.

Get over it! I’m sick of hearing people saying that he lost to Hamill. He got the decision, he didn’t deserve it. Hardly his fault is it? It happened, move on.

I was a huge Bisbing fan right up to the point when he fought Hammil and talked all that trash after he clearly lost the fight. I lost all respect for him then and now cant believe the UFC is giving him such an easy fight

What a joke bisping hasn’t said he wants this fight yet this article is just a reason for bisping haters to have a go at him. Someone is saying he ducks fighters? he wanted the rematch with hamill in america a.s.a.p it was hamill who ran for his operation. Bisping will kill a man next time out. mwwahahahahahah…..

Bisping maybe lost to Hamill but he won Evans i think. and look who Evans is fighting now?

Bisping maybe lost to Hamill but he won Evans i think. and look who Evans is fighting now?

Bisping Beat Hamill, and lost to Evans. I hate to quote Dana, but you can’t leave it in the judges hands! It doesn’t matter who people think should have won. And yes if the judges would have gave Bisbing the match he very well could be the one fighting Liddel right now. Especially since the card is in England!
At any rate I think we found Bisbings greatest fan! lol.

Bizzer is weak sauce

he should be thinking about fighting real competition
and bitting this guys first
1.leben
2.okami
3.lutter
4.franklin
5.henderson

then u might have a chance against silva

Agreed.

I don’t think Bisping would be a favorite against anyone on this list, spare Chris Leben. And that would be a SLIM favorite. I think Leben has a tougher chin and hits harder. Bisping has better strikes. I think many would have Leben the favorite.

I think Captain Miserable can hang with Bisping. If Bisping comes out like Swick did in his first fight cutting down to a lower weight class, Bisping will have a long night.

Not sure who these people are that think Bisping has a chance to beat Silva, but I do however would like to see how improved Bisping will be 20 lbs lighter. If he wins this fight though, I cant think of anyone else at MW who would be in line behind Okami.

Ok first of all I seriously had to read this twice to even believe that it wasnt a joke. This kid has a way to go…I dont see him beating any of the top five middleweights in the UFC. I think he is a perfect fit for the WEC!

Also…Bulldawgsf, I know Heath Herring and he is one of the most humble and polite people I have ever met in my life. He is very down to earth and works his ass off at the gym. He has come a long way in his career and Im looking forward to his next fight. Lets all not forget that he was seconds away from winning that second fight with Nog. (cause there isnt a person in here who can say that Nog didnt act like a little bitch and roll around on the ground for the last 26 seconds of their last fight) He knew if he stood up it was over!!

makes some sense, but then again this guy seems to duck real competition.

funny’ that’s what I was thinking at first… but realisically he should get at least one tune up fight at that weight class. He’d just better win!

Bisping maybe lost to Hamill but he won Evans i think. and look who Evans is fighting now?

This is what i thought too, after watching the hammil fight I thought hammil by UD and then the rashad fight I thought bisping just did enough? like these guys said above never leave it to a judge or trust a judge..

Come on bisping! Some guys like to hate on everyone! Bisping has definatley got the tools to be a threat at middleweight. He’s worked well on his takedown defence or at least avoiding damage and has now gone back to working muay thai and kick boxing……. I believe he will be a threat. Some of you guys want other middleweights to just lie down and bow down to anderson silva. That aint in bisping’s make-up cos he’s got a fighters instinct.

Were I agree 75% of fighting is mental, just like all physical sports, you have to believe you will win, to win. You can not go into any physical sport thinking I might be able to win, it has to be “I Will” and “I can” win. Do I think he has a chance at gold in this division, HELL’S NO, not a snowballs chance in hell does he beat even the top 2 in this class after Silva, let alone Silva. Someone mentioned that Bisping’s style was like FRankilin and I agree, and we all know how well that style worked.

He takes a lot of crap from us but I do expect him to be tough at 185 lb. He should be able to demolish Mr. tuppaware, if not training didnt go as well as he thought!

We keep calling McCarthy tuppaware, its getting really funny. I hope it gets back to McCarthy, he would probably be honored to even here is name being talked about!

I can see it now…UFC 83 Bruce Buffer is going to announce:
In this corner Charles “Tuppaware” McCarthy, I would LMAO! Props to VM on a good one thats seems to be sticking around

Hahaha Tupperware, I’m so glad that has stuck…props VMike

Makes no ends…Bisbing has to fight Okami, Franklin, Lutter, Leben etc etc before this conversation is even worth talking about

I’d like to meet these “people” that were saying Bisping could beat Silva.

My exact thoghts.

Bisping doesnt deserve a shot at Silva…PERIOD!

Oh yea, now I do remember seeing all 3 of them training on the Countdown to UFC 82 show. Still sick over the fact Herring won that fight, I mean he did and all I just have grown quite the dislike for him and his sluggish surviving style. Thanks though man, you’re always on top of things.

The 3 along with Brandon Verra all trained together for UFC 75 Hendo vs. Rampage. If you buy that DVD and check outt he behind the scene stuff, the 3 were hanging out. all over England. They are tight and will continue to be!

Everyone needs to just relax, because my inside source has confirmed that Ross Pointon was the DumbAss that made the quote that Bisping could be Silva. We can all go back to our normal lives now, knowing that the comment came out of Pointon’s mouth….

My insider says you have no insider. Back it up with a link or something

This is what i thought too, after watching the hammil fight I thought hammil by UD and then the rashad fight I thought bisping just did enough? like these guys said above never leave it to a judge or trust a judge..

Bisping beat Hamil! I watched the fight like 10 times straight.
It seemed like Hamil won because he came out the gate and dominated the stand up in the 1st round shocking everyone. Neither fighter did any damage in the 2nd and 3rd round, it was basically Bisping out scoring Hamil. He landed more shots, stuffed takedowns and when he got taken down he got up. Because the scoring system is the way it is in the UFC, Bisping did win that fight. But if that fight were judged under the Pride scoring system, which has a criteria for fight as a whole, Hamil would probably have won.

I dont think it was an unfair decision at all. It was an accurate decision under the UFC’s heavily flawed scoring system. Until the system changes stuff like this will happen again. The UFC needs to realize that its a fight, not 3 fights (1 rd each) and best of 3 wins.

The bad thing about this fight is that even if Bisping wins it convincingly and looks great…it still won’t mean much because he is fighting Charles McArthy. He’ll still need a win against battle hardened competition before he can entertain thoughts of even fighting guys Frankilin/Okami.

Stick him in there with Leben if he goes through McArthy (which I’m sure he will). That would be a great fight for fans and a good opportunity to progress for both fighters!

I have to agree! If Bisping goes through McCarthy as easy as most of expect him to, he should fight a very tough Leben who is maturing as a fighter. If he can get past Leben, then I will be ready to take him serious.

I also feel that fighting Tuppaware is a loose/loose for Bisping. A win does nothing for him and a loss will be very bad to his carrer.

Wow you guys, check out all the comments that get left every time there is s spot on here concerning the count. You guys must love the man, blah blah blah, if he was from the U.S you would all be backing him, but cause he is from over the pond the guys a bum, same old story haha

I completely agree. Bisping is three wins away from a title shot. After beating tuppaware, he should fight Leben. Then, depending on other fighters results, should fight Franklin/Lutter/Hendo. IF he can win those three he should get a title shot. Big IF

By the way, does anyone know if Evan Tanner is going to try and stay in the mix at 185, or is it another 2 1/2 year break?

Thanks, it is a good read. Not your typical Bisping. He shows a more humble side.

One thing that bothered me is who are these people that think he can beat the spider? lol

He kept it real and you got to appreciate the honesty!

It was probably the Sun Newspaper who said he could beat Silva…They don’t know ANYTHING about MMA along with the rest of the media in the UK. Still very un-educated over this side of the pond…except for people like myself of course :)

Tanner said that he is back to Stay. He is in the mix. the UFC should have given him an easier opponent than Yushin Okami. Bisping has been headlining pay per view events and fighting consistently for like a year and a half and he get McCarthy. On the other hand, Tanner has been drunk on a boat for 2 years and they throw him in there with Okami? Bad match making! Overall the match making in the UFC is solid so I cant complain too much!

You make another great point John.

Thank you my freind!

Anderson Silva Tko 3:52 rd 1.
That’s what would happen.

10 seconds into the round

Come on. let’s be honest. The only thing thing interesting about Bisping so far is his accent.

Silva would fold Bisping into three pieces and wipe his ass with him. Three-ply.

UFC.COM have a new video on bisping. he says he is angry and mcarthy is getting knocked out and then some other people are gonna start getting knocked out. he says it with so much cockyness and arrogance i love it. come on mike!!!

i love how everyone is assuming bisping is gonna get killed by franklin, hendo, and silva when you have never seen him fight at middleweight yeah it is highly unlikly he will be silva. but i bet you all said the same thing about matt serra and GSP one punch can do anything to any fighter. and the reason bisping has a mouth it is becuase he is a postive and cocky fighter and it is uselly adrenline

EVERYONE GET OVER THE FUCKING HAMIL FIGHT

Wow you guys, check out all the comments that get left every time there is s spot on here concerning the count. You guys must love the man, blah blah blah, if he was from the U.S you would all be backing him, but cause he is from over the pond the guys a bum, same old story haha

Totally agree, i love this site but i hate that one eyed American thing. It kills the vibe of the site sometimes……

so many haters..i agree bisping ain’t ready for anderson silva yet…but a few tune up fights at middle weight..he should easily be able to defeat the lower ranked fighters in the mw division..then move up to the higher ranked..and hopefully get a shot at anderson silva..bispings a great kick boxer..just look at what happened when they thought liddel was invincible and rampage knocked him the fuck out..i know bisping ain’t on liddel’s level of striking but he has a punchers chance..
