Bisping doesn't make my top 10 MWs of all time
2 of those were robbed decisions in England and one was a fluke. Sorry but he's a glorified gatekeeper.
Always top 10, but never champion material.
"was able to defend the MW belt something only Silva has been able to do."He beat the whos whos of MMA. Beats Silva, Hendo, Rockhold, Gave the GOAT a tough challenge and was able to defend the MW belt something only Silva has been able to do. He also has very good TDD and excellent striking. He also had a Draw fight with Prime Rashad in many peoples opinion.
Why?Gotta go with Franklin
Beat good comp during dark ages. Beat Tanner. Beat some good LHWsWhy?
"was able to defend the MW belt something only Silva has been able to do."
Huh? You new to the UFC or something?
Bustamante, Franklin and Weidman has defended the belts successfully with Franklin and Weidman actually having more title defenses than Bisping.
How do you come to the conclusion that Bisping is the 2nd best MW is beyond me.
