Despite his loss against Chael Sonnen, Michael Bisping can still beat Anderson Silva

Can this man defeat Anderson Silva? After his performance at UFC on FOX 2, Chael Sonnen believes he can. Photo by Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLC/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images.

And "The Count" gets that unlikely vote of confidence from none other than Sonnen himself.

The freshly-minted 185-pound division number one contender, who told media members at the UFC on Fox 2 post-fight press conference that Michael Bisping hit him so hard he didn't even know what round it was, also claimed the British banger proved to him with that performance he had the chops to defeat reigning middleweight kingpin Anderson Silva.

"Having fought Bisping and the alleged champion, I can tell you Bisping could beat him today. I was surprised by everything. I was never in a position where I was comfortable. I looked at him and thought 'my God, you have no idea how hard you hit me'."

Saving face?

Perhaps Sonnen is heaping on the praise to downplay his performance from last Saturday night (Jan. 28, 2012) at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. Despite a unanimous decision win, his performance was far from dominant and some mixed martial arts (MMA) fans and pundits, including UFC President Dana White, thought Bisping should have won the decision.

Star-divide

Nevertheless, Sonnen gets his "Spider" rematch in an attempt to finish what he started at UFC 117 way back in August 2010. After sticking it to the Brazilian for four-and-a-half rounds, Silva managed to pull off the fifth round submission win with a last-minute triangle choke.

But would he be so "lucky" against Bisping? We may never know.

Bisping will eventually get his title shot

There is a some lifeless rematches for Anderson after Sonnen, or dudes that seriously haven’t earned a shot. Anderson will retire sooner than later too I assume. So he’ll get his shot at Sonnen after Andy’s gone or whatever. Bisping has some years left in him for sure, and he’s durable.

Why can’t you understand that no matter who the gifs had in them, it’s the fact that the Bipsing one’s are and do get old. Quit pretending their still funny. You don’t have to put them up to fit in.

He almost won the fight. How? When? Go back and watch the highlights. They’re only Chaels.

Takedowns
Mount
More punches landed
Pressure
Octagon control

I cracked up when the fight ended and Bisping raised his arms. Only reason Chael gave him respect is because the Brit cracked him good in the 1st.

Some of em were pretty close

But some of em he lost pretty clearly imo and still went on to talk about how he thinks he won. I recently heard him in an interview say “I only have one proper loss on my record.” In his mind he’s only ever lost one fight. IMO the guy ain’t living in reality.

dude its supposed to be a double negative.

as in…i hope that you do NOT think that you are NOT a moron. (its a roundabout way of calling you a moron, just like me, just like the rest of us). I know reading and comprehension are difficult, and so you feel the need to post grammar corrections anytime you (think) you come across one…but no sir, there comes a point where you are trying so hard to look smart, that really you look more stupid in the process.

I'm a Sonnen fan...

But his comments are getting more and more ridiculous. Bisping is a GOOD striker. A. Silva is a GREAT striker. Sonnen’s style is the ONLY style that can beat A.S. in the middleweight division.

Not sure why people are convinced bisping will eventually get a title shot

His first fight against a top 5 MW and he lost a unanimous decision.who’s he gonna beat that will give him a shot?..guess none of that matters a lot of title shots in mma are gifted

true.

Remember when it came out of silva’s camp that he only wanted “Legacy” fights? Fights that would cement him as the number 1 fighter that ever lived? I don’t think crushing cans like bisping would do that for him. not many other fighters at MW would, IMO.

Cause Chael told you that?

Do you say that to be funny or because you truly believe it?

1. Anderson has 12 title defenses

2. Belcher challenged Anderson, does that mean he should take the fight? No…you earn your shot against a champion like Anderson Silva

Honestly I think Bisping deserves some credit, and is getting the short end again. (Imagine that)

He would have MAULED Maia had they fought, and in 11 days changed his training to try to stop the best wrestler in the MW division, supposedly by a mile, and did a much-better-than-anticipated job of it. While I think Sonnen won, Bisping spent most of the second round with Chael against the cage.

After the control of Sonnen int he second, tell me you don’t think Bisping at least won’t make a fool of himself against Ando?

getting KTFO'd by silva

no doubt about it

Silva is a world-class grappler (offense AND defense)…but if I was ever sentenced to ANY amount of time inside the octagon with Silva, I’m going to be relentlessly going for the TD, because to do anything else guarantees youre getting KTFO’d.

Man, I tried to tell you Chael wasn't gonna just walk through Bisping.

However, Chael did not look like himself to me. Whether that was bisping being ready for his TD’s and swarms or whatever it was…regardless, this played out about like I expected. I hesitate to think Chael fighting like this against Silva though, that will be horrible.

It's Funny How Things Look After This Fight

Bisping is better than everyone thought and Chael didn’t look so dominant. I scored the fight for Bisping, but it was close. I think Dana will find a way to gift Bisping a title shot to make up for what he thought was a bad decision.

I think Wand was about 10-15 seconds away from having the ref pull him off Bisping at the end of rd. 3

Bisping almost got finished at the end of every rd in that fight.

And just to add

Rashad is a completely different fighter today and I think he’d own Bisping. Wand 5 yrs younger would’ve killed him. Hendo did damn near kill him. I’ll give him props on the Chael fight but I think he just happened to match up pretty good with Sonnen’s skill set. So while I’ll agree that he isn’t a can, lets not pretend he’s in the elite category either.

If Chael is elite, Bisping is elite

Because that fight was razor thin…

My point being, there are only a few elite fighters in the UFC…let’s not pretend like that is a title bestowed on several fighters…Bisping not being elite doesn’t mean anything, Chael isn’t elite but he’s pretty good isn’t he? Why can’t we say the same about Bisping, is it that hard?

by Starr788 on Jan 30, 2012 11:55 AM EST via mobile up reply actions  

There is the flaw with your argument.

You for some reason have ingrained in your mind that Chael is an “elite” fighter. Based on what?? The guy has been finished in almost every single ne of his losses.

His performance against Anderson really is more telling of what an overhyped fighter Pito Silva is rather than what a great fighter Chael is.

Lose the hate man

Silva is elite. Chael is elite. Bisping is elite. All have the asterisk that they are elite for the 185 pound weight class.

I really wish Munoz had not gotten hurt as the Bisping that fought on Saturday would have tooled Maia, and people would be talking baout how he might have a chance against Silva.

Fine then.

Anderson has great, otherwordly, stand up when matched up with the right fighters, has serviceable BJJ and mediocre wrestling yet he has stayed atop the MW division for the longest time outta anyone in the history of the sport.

Now you know damn well that that wouldnt be that case if it were any other division in MMA. That by in itself should tell you all you need to know about the dumpster the MW division is.

Unless we devolve into a mythical P4P argument

there is no way to compare fighters from other divisions without bias and conjecture, so we have to judge them against their peers. Anderson is the best, followed by Sonnen, Munoz and, yes, Bisping, amongst a few others.

It's hard for me because he's on the losing end

I can say, yea he put up a good fight, but that doesn’t change the result. Without that W in his column over one of the best it’s hard to put him in that category imo. He has a good record but none of the names in the win column really jump out. What would you say is his biggest win? Dennis Kang, Chris Leben, controversial decision over Matt Hammil?? Nothing really stands out to me.
