2017 THREAD: Georges St. Pierre vs. Michael Bisping For MW Title Announced; Date TBA (Poll)

[wirerat123]

GSP is a takedown/control guy. No one in the MW division has been able to work Bisping on the ground, I don't see GSP being able to either, and GSP don't have the striking chops to compete with Bisping. Bisping by 3rd round TKO.

 

[Summoning]

They can run but they can't hide

Yoel will punish whoever wins for making him wait this long

ugly af

 

[Mike]

C'mon, man. At the end of the day his record will have those names and that's that.

He'll have to go down as one of the greatest middleweights with wins like that.

No he wouldn't, because context matters. Fans know the context. Do you think boxing fans make a big deal out of Holmes and Berbick beating Ali? Or whatever random russian guy last koed RJJ?


When you beat someone matters. Notice that nobody was amazed when Nelson beat Nog, or Yair beat Penn. Or Schaub beat Crocop.


Fans know Bisping is holding the title without beating any contenders. Wins over gsp and Hendo while avoiding Jacare and Romero will hurt his legacy, not help it.

Did you forget about the Kennedy fight? I know gsp isn't Kennedy but still.

Hmmm, it's a very difficult fight to pick, GSP hasn't fought in a long time, but Mike has took a lot of damage recently...

Mike has size and puts on a serious pace, he's also got great TDD and should be able to more than hold his own in the stand up, will that be enough to negate GSP's overall superior skills?

It's not fair to the MW division, but to be honest I do not grudge Mike this fight, he's punched the clock so many times, I think he should retire win or lose after the fight.

It could end up being the most fairy tale endings to a career ever.

Hendricks has a 69" reach, is a wrestler and lit GSP up... not sure where you're going with this.

Hendricks had success against GSP because he's a wrestler, not in spite of it. I thought this was obvious.

 

[PokerMage]

Wrestling, athleticism, striking, leg kicks, strength. I believe GSP is stronger than Bisping just as I believe Hendricks and Alves were stronger than GSP in their fights. Strength won't matter much though.

All those things are based on your knees being able to do them 100%, im sorry but we wont know how he looks at all until he steps in the octagon. Infact Bisping is havn a little scoping and cleaning of a knee isnt he? dont be surprised if this fight gets cancelled or pushed back at some point let alone GSP coming back and looking better then had in in last few fights.

Cause he will have to in order to beat Bisping

WWE is more credible then the UFC

I suspect Nick or Nate Diaz will be back ups if Bisping isn't ready.

It was cleat in his last few fights that he had slowed down post acl surgery, and didn't have the same explosive entry on his takedowns. I don't think it's impossible for him to win, but you certainly have to favor Bisping.


He's difficult to take down, hits harder, moves well, has a good chin. Tough matchup for GSP.

 

[The Clinch]

GSP should take this.

Feel bad for the middleweights that have more than earned a title shot and are getting passed over.

But I'm happy GSP is back.

 

[Phil Galdong]

Fuck this shit what a total joke fight.

Bisping vs Romero was the only fight to make at MW.

Bisping already had his easy defense vs an undeserving contender and now this.

You bet your ass Pierre will NOT fight the soldier of God should he score a point victory over Bisping.

 

[OldManbjj]

Can't wait for GSP to beat Bisping so all you NOOBS can shut up.

Fans know Bising is holding the title without beating any contenders. Wins over gsp and Hendo while aviding Jacare and Romero will hurt his legacy, not help it.

Those are different situations. Neither Anderson, Hendo or GSP are shot like Big Nog, Penn and even Cro Cop were. Hendo was the most shot one, but still, based in his fighing style, he was still dangerous. It's definitely not the same situation as the Big Nog that lost to Nelson, who by that time was a living corpse, the BJ that lost to Yair and Cro Cop fighting in a cage in the US, he never did shit in the UFC.

Plus, Bisping took the belt from Rockhold, who was in his prime, knocking him the fuck out in the first. You can't just ignore that. And another thing that matters is that he would have done that in a roll. Anderson, Rockhold, Hendo and GSP will be, name wise, the best win sequence ever. And you just can't argue with that.

 

[Trollgrappler]

This has a Bisping win written all over it and then we will have a timeline where Michael Bisping has beaten both Anderson Silva and GSP. Lord have mercy!

 

[wirerat123]

GSP can't pull that off. Watch. Bisping by 3rd round TKO. And I can't stand Bisping.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

mike beats him and becomes first man to beat both silva and gsp
fuken legend

Well I don't think he can either. Was just pointing out Bisping HAS been ragdolled before. I think Bisping is the favorite in this fight.

 

[Lo Pan]

Bisping is going to kick the shit out of GSP.

remember what he did to Cung Le? It's
Going to look like that only worse considering GSP's soft skin.

GSP is gonna get murdered.
