Right on brendan, Bispings gonna get pounded into the mat all night

I’m going to have to agree with you guys. Bisbing was getting out struck by Matt Hamill and Hendo is a way better striker. Plus he got taken down by Rashad and Henderson is a better wrestler. I think Bisbing will score with some solid combinations, but Hendo will land the big shots that win rounds and score points with takedowns if he’s in trouble. And Henderson did fine against Franklin who is one of the top strikers at 185. Though there is a little grain of doubt in my mind because this isn’t Michael Bisbing the 205er, this is Michael Bisbing the Middle weight. And he has looked outstanding since making the cut to 85. I got Hendo, but I’m giving Bisbing a shot.

Hendo SUCS COCK AS a striker! Lets be honest….Winging WILD punches packed with TONS of KO power dontr make you a good striker….it makes yo a good BRAWLER….Did you see what Bsisping did last time he fought a Brawler (Leben)? He Piucked him apart!

I Totally agree with Kevin! Bisping has quitely become one of my favorite fighters in the sport. I think he hasnt even reached half his potential yet. Bisping is finally catchingy his stride and will look better and better with each fight. Age has caught up to Hendo….SIMPLE as that!

War Bisping….U guys say its fun to pick an upset, but lets be realistic….I am being realistic! I already Bet $100 on bisping as a HUGE DOG!!!!

War the Count! Great fighters and one of the best personalities in the UFC!

FYI: I finally got to see the episode of TUF…Thos British Kats look like they aren’t messing around!

Kevin: U know I am a RUA Lover, but its hard to argue that they arent the most dissapointing family in mma this past year! Shogun will snap out of it when he makes Liddell Tap!

good call

Doh! Wallet feeling a bit light eh?

LOL “almost died”….yea Vitor really drank his milkshake.

“team questinitis”… well crafted.. i like…

its too bad UFC ruined what could have been a solid fighter by just tossin him to the wolves. instead of working his way up with evolving skills.

ChefDaddy! Great to here from u buddy! U have been missed!

If you wanna watch a “good boxing match”, watch a Boxing match, you wont find good boxing in MMA. There’s nothing more boring than watching one man run away from the other for 15 minutes. Remember it’s fans who pay their wages so are entitled to want to see “flashy fights”.

It’s hell of an advantage Bizbing has though, knowing all he has to do is runaway and get to the end bell knowing the boss has his back and will see he gets the decision. For evidence see Hammill fight!

i will watch whatever i want to watch.im a fan that helps pay for thier wages so am entitled to want to watch one in mma as well. you too are entitled to tune in or not as well. i also enjoy watching a good jits fight as well. and there is something more boring than what you say. guida and those that fight like him. if i want to watch 2 half naked men rolling on the floor together without at least some submission or gnp there are plenty of websites to visit for that. and dana white has no more power to control the outcome than you or i so keep the conspiracy theories out of here.

Hendo’s not a great slugger either, he’s just fn stubborn. When he does it right though he uses it very well to close the distance for clinch takedowns, which is what he needs to do here.

great point egads, dream last night was the perfect show, lots of slugging lots of jits! I’m a huge jits guy!!

i just hate getting told that if you like the standup the best you are not a true mma fan but if you prefer the jits, and some even only jits, then thats ok. i love a good mix the best. the condit/kamoman fight was one of the best fights in long time because it had it all. my whole point at first was to say that bisping chosing a countering/boxing style against henderson who is primarily a slugger/wrestler is a good strategy. and personally i have niothing against it. like it or not getting wins whether its pretty or not is the way to win belts and make lotsa money.

The thing I hate the most is when people boo a fight and think it’s boring just because they expect a brawl and don’t consider a highly competitive and technical stand-up fight exciting or flashy.

It gives the sport a bad rep and only appeals to the meat-head losers who should be watching bum fights online or something.

“BFK for LIFE!” <>

He can’t punch! He’s a tipper tapper with no power whatsoever.

all i can say about that is….

   so was Ali

Thanks attakdog for carefuly considering and giving a lot of thought to my post. Keep on hating.

I will until he does something worthy of praise! Like knocking someone out, or stopping someone ranked in the top 25.

I seem to remember Ali scoring a few KO’s too?? And fighting top ranked opponents and not a diet of cans and has beens.

Wow, attakdog I have just noticed, all you do is slag of Bisping, all through this thread, you have abslutely major hate for this guy. You say your from England so am I. What is the real reason for your hate, did he pick on you at school, did he steal your girlfriend off you or is it because he didn’t give have time to give you his autograph, maybe he just beat you up once. Be honest now.

I’ve answered this in a previous post, but here goes again, I hate Bizbing because he’s an arrogant prick who hasn’t beaten anyone in the top 25 of any division and is protected from on high because he won the weakest series to date of the Ultimate fighter!

I’d love to see Bizbing try and beat me up, it’d likely be the first KO of his pathetic career at least. He’d probably end up running away and inviting me to chase him if I showed the tiniest sign of aggression though.

isnt ali great??? he did get 12 rounds to beat up his opponents to point of KO but… all i mean power isnt everything

What are you trying to say, that boxing KO’s aren’t legitimate because fights can last 36 minutes instead of 15??? Odd

I think you are mistaking confidence for arrogance. He is always respectful, and doesn’t bad mouth other fighters. The only fight that Bisping seemed to be a bit cautious in was when he was fighting Leban. And that was the best tactic possible against a fighter with a granite Jaw. Only a fighter with an idiotic gameplan would want to stand up and bang to please the crowd fighting Leban. Did you not see the shots that Leban took against Sakara, Terry Martin and even Patrick Cote couldn’t knock Leban out. Why on earth would Bisping want to waste his time standing up trading blows with Leban just so you can be entertained and get himself KTFO. That was the smartest and most logical way to fight someone like Leban. You make it sound like he fights this way in every fight. Get yourself a girlfriend or boyfriend if you are that way inclined, to release some of that pent up agrresion you have against Bisping. It will do you the world of good.
Your not Ross Pointon by any chance are you?

Hmmmmmmmm, Leben’s chin didn’t look so great when Anderson Silva KO’d him in under a minute!!!

Everyone’s on here saying what a fantastic striker this idiot Bizbing is, well if you’re such an amazing striker you should be able to put away a top 30 ranked guy like Leben in under 15 minutes just like Silva did, granite jaw or not.

As for his run away and pitter patter tactics he used against Leben, he will employ those exact same tactics against Henderson, everyone with a shred of MMA knowledge knows this. He wont want to go near Hendersons big right or his Olympic level wrestling. Hence he will get on his bike doing laps of the octagon until the time has elapsed, knowing his old buddy Dana will see him alright via the judges scorecards! Great news for the watching fans.

Resorting to personal insults about my sexuality is the last refuge of a scoundrel and proves you’ve lost the argument. I have no idea who Ross Pointon is either.

The No1 contender match should be made as soon as possible between Maia and Marquadt. Either one of those would be a worthwhile opponent. Nate is much better now than when he last fought. Maia’s an easy sell, the UFCs greatest striker vs the greatest submission guy, that could result in Anderson pulling some PPV numbers for once.

As for an Okami match, just pointless, Silva would destroy him in under a round. The match only has any kind of significance due to Okami holding a DQ win over him therefore Silva could avenge a loss but it’s not much interest for the rest of us.

The next man to get the shot will likely be Bizbing though. When Dana gives him the decision over Hendo at 100 then he can milk the UK crowds at the end of this year by selling out the o2 with his british cash cow.

If silva get’s past Leites he WILL defend his title at 102 against Okami it was said by Dana himself.

What contender circus?

did I miss a memo or something…

The UFC have stated that the winner of Hendo/Bisping will get the next shot at silva, Dana said it, Bisping confirmed that was his understanding and so did Hendo.

The winner of this fight WILL be the UFC’s MW No.1 Contender…period

We (the fans) are the only people discussing it.

Nate is great (see what I did there) and Maia has phenominal potential.

But face it the decision has been made

Bisping has never said the winner of him and Hendo will get a title shot,maybe number one contender.

Okami was set to face Silva at 90 but broke his hand so Cote stepped in,then at the post fight conference Dana said Okami will face the winner of Silva vs. Leites!!

I agree, but okami just because of the pussy win over silva!

First off I think Henderson is going to win, his first fight at 185 against Silva he had bad endurance, Franklin is a great fighter and Henderson controlled almost the entire fight and has shown his cardio is much better and should have no problem bringing Bisping down for some ground and pound. Second I think & Marquardt & Maia should have a fight for the next shot at the title? Anyway I’m glad this division has much more talent add Wandy to the mix and possibly Hughes.

Matt Hughes would get destroyed if he moved up now. Wrong time to move up. If he was going to do it at all he should have done it a good while back.

For his sake I hope he fights Serra and then calls it a day. Or maybe fights BJ again after that and then call it quits. There’s far too many guys at WW now that would beat him for him to ever be competitive again. I don’t think he can beat GSP, Alves, Fitch, Koscheck, Kampmann, Swick and others.

He’s done a lot in the sport and he should be happy to take a step back now.

He needn’t even think at MW.

• about MW.

As long as Hughes beats Serra I think he should move up. He has had trouble with his endurance when cutting weight and for his style endurance is huge. But with saying that I don’t think he’ll have the strength needed for his style at 185 but he is still a good fighter and should be able to crack the top five or at least seven?

No chance. Hughes just aint relevant in the world of MMA anymore. It’s evolved and he hasn’t, simple as that. Get out while youve still got all your faculties.

You might be right another Shamrock? But until he loses to a fighter that is not in the top four or five I’m not going to go that far. A loss to Serra and I’ll be leaning more towards your view attakdog.

“As long as Hughes beats Serra I think he should move up. He has had trouble with his endurance when cutting weight and for his style endurance is huge.”

Excuse me? Since when has Matt Hughes had trouble with his endurance when cutting weight? Wait, no, you’re right, I suppose 13 wins in the UFC welterweight division isn’t quite enough to prove that you belong there.

Don’t get your panties tied in a knot burtoni I never said he didn’t belong. Make sure you read the post above before you reply to a post.

The game has past Matt now. He’s at the end of his career and honestly I don’t mean to be disrespectful but I wonder if he’s even top 10 in the world at WW.

He aint anymore.

I like Bisping. All his fights are interesting and he’s fun to watch. I don’t think he’s overrated at all. I don’t know why so many people hate on him. Good to see a lot of people here are thinking he might win. I like Henderson just as much so this fight should be awesome.
