If Bisping gets smoked by Robert and retires what would be his legacy ?

[leto1776]

Not accusing Bisping of PEDs, but it's just weird that he had his greatest success in his mid 30s after a mediocre career prior to that.

Yeah, post USADA Bisping is doing pretty well.

 

[VIPERdude]

Will guys see him as the champion that tries his best to avoid the best while squeezing money out the belt ? How would you guys view him and what would his legacy be ?

holds the most UFC records thus far probably

 

[VanMMA]

One of the greatest middleweights ever.

You could turn that around - USADA is testing more than ever, so the people he fights now are probably on less supplements than earlier.

Pretty interesting how a lot of the fighters that beat Bisping have been caught cheating or taking TRT - Hendo, Wanderlei, Sonnen, Vitor...

 

[7th]

Gatekeeper who had his Matt Serra moment.

 

[The guest]

The only thing that could destroy his legacy is popping.

Otherwise, he'll go down as the most accomplished TUF ever. He put the UK on the mma map. And has an impressive record in the UFC.

Most wins ever. But, he needs to man up, and fight the number 1 contender.

Ducking that fight is what can tarnish his legacy.

Actually that's proof Bisping never used and when USADA happened everyone else got brought down to his level finally.

Let's not forget he went 3 years without winning even 2 fights in a row.

But the thing I'll remember Bisping for the most is...going out of his way to humiliate Karyn Bryant on live TV. And ducking. Oh lord, the ducking.

Gatekeeper who had his Matt Serra moment.

Imagine Serra refusing to defend his title for 2 years against anyone under 40 after upsetting GSP.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Former champion with a lot of fights in the UFC that ducked competition the moment he won the belt.

 

[KeiranMc]

Legend

 

[Codpiece]

Top ten for sure.

Probably ten.

UFC Top ten for sure, but not higher than five. At minimum Anderson, Weidman, Rich and Rockhold have been better (off the top of my head). Chael has some good wins at MW including a win over Bisping as well.

Bisping has had a long and very good career, always struck me as the guy least likely, but here we are. Good on him. Sucks he never fought Romero though.

 

[The Bard]

The supreme gatekeeper, generally the #3 - #7 guy in his division who then won a couple of fights at a strange time in his division's history to hold the strap for a while. Never dominating, always game, great cardio with good boxing and heart. The type of guy who was always in the conversation but was never a freak athlete; the type of guy who could be stifled by and lose a round to post-prime Mayhem Miller and then make a run to the title. Opportunist, brash, with a keen sense of how to make money in the modern era of MMA. He proved that pure cardio is a category unto itself in MMA and can be an asset on par with natural power, explosiveness, or technique.

 

[aerius]

Bisping is a joke, what legacy lol.

This. What legacy? Fighters don't have a legacy until they've shown dominance and wiped out a bunch of top contenders.
Bisping's a champ, good for him, welcome to the club of 101 UFC champs.

I really don't know why you guys continue to blame Bisping for fighting Dan. He took the fight offered. Blame the UFC, they make the mathces

 

[Armored Saint]

A legend. Dude's been in there with the best, fought under UFC for over a decade, wouldn't say he's among one of the GOATS but nonetheless has some fantastic wins under his belt and surprised people on many occasions.

 

[abrasion]

A solid pro with a big mouth who got leganized by a h-bomb via memes and gifs.....

 

[Mikey Palangio]

On paper, he is the MW GOAT.

 

[ranch]

a slightly less entertaining Leon Spinks.

 

[Vegesus44]

ducked so hard that the ufc lost fighters to bellator.

So much this right here^

 

[Kingofthestreets]

An asshole who won tuf3 who became a household name who took the figth nobody wanted and on the night everyone counted him out including me, he shocked the world and became world champion.
The true any given sunday, chicken sallad out of chicken shit.
Mostly his legacy is just being an ass though
