As it has been discussed in that other thread (http://forums.sherdog.com/threads/bisping-to-gsp-sign-the-papers-buddy.3375559/) about Bisping possibly fighting GSP at UFC 206 in Toronto, his 2016 could be the wildest I've ever seen.
Bisping fought and beat Anderson Silva on Feb 27, 2016 in London, winning by controversial unanimous decision. Regardless of how you feel the fight went, he was awarded the decision and a title shot.
Then, Bisping fought a rematch with Luke Rockhold for the MW belt at UFC 199 on June 4th, 2016, winning that fight by first round KO.
After that, we know Bisping fought Dan Henderson at UFC 204 on October 8th, 2016, winning that fight by unanimous decision. Again, it doesn't matter what you or I thought about the judges' decision, as he won the decision and kept his belt.
Finally, the RUMOR, and I can't stress enough that it's still a rumor, is that Georges St-Pierre would fight for the MW belt against Bisping at UFC 206 in Toronto on December 10, 2016.
In 2016, Michael Bisping may have fought the following:
Anderson Silva
Luke Rockhold (Champion)
Dan Henderson
Georges St-Pierre
Can you think of a harder murderer's row a fighter has gone through in a calendar year? Look past the fact that Hendo was 13th ranked and about 170 years old during the fight, it's still Dan Henderson. You know, the guy that people tend to have in their top 10 all-time P4P lists? That's three P4P all-time top ten guys and Luke Rockhold.
According to fightmatrix, Silva is the #1 all-time MW, Rockhold is the #3 all-time MW, Henderson is the #4 all-time MW and #9 all-time LHW, and GSP is the #1 all-time WW.
If that fight materializes and he wins that fight, then he's obviously the fighter of the year, right?
