Bisping has been hurting opponents by catching them coming in.
I think that's been happening because he developed a reputation for having pillow hands.

I don't think any of those words mean what you think they mean.

Actually, that has been Machida’s bread and butter the whole time. Creating collisions, countering everything with his left straight. His step in knees and kicks have power for sure.
Bisping is and has been way more about volume. Throw a ton of stuff and it sucks to get hit every time, saps the opponents cardio and does some damage too. Bisping beating old Cung Le was prime example of this in my opinion. Just overwhelmed him and Cung looked like a mess after they were done.

If he does not commit to his strikes. Please explain the concept of the Dragon throwing combos. He does it most of the time.

The force in Lyotos strikes comes from him striking as his opponents move in. He doesn't often throw heavy punches, he uses the moment of his opponents to create high impact.

Machida forced to fight clean and this is what you get. Too funny.
Whoa whoa whoa... Machida has really fallen off, but nobody, and I mean nobody, in the UFC has less power in their hands than Michael Bisping, including 125-lb manlets and WMMA "fighters."
Bisping is the punching equivalent of a knuckleball pitcher. Just like an incredibly slow pitch can strike anybody out if they don't see it coming, an incredibly weak punch can knock anyone out if they don't see it coming and it catches them on the button, as happened to Rockhold when he completed dismissed Bisping because he had ragdolled him in their first fright and Bisping had done nothing to merit fighting for the title.
Because of his complete lack of power, Bisping doesn't even throw punches at full strength. Instead, he is the extreme example of quantity over quality. His game plan is to pretend he is in a cardio boxing class at the mall. He is the godfather of point fighting in the UFC.
His opponents don't even bother to block his little pitter patter punches because they don't inflict any damage whatsoever. It like when a little child throws a tantrum and starts punching an adult's leg with their little fists. Nonetheless, the UFC adds all of the theses "punches" to striking stats, and the judges say, "well, der der look at all those 'punches' he must've won der der."
Bisping has won decisions where he literally has no highlights. When Rogan enters the cage to interview him after such fights, it's incredibly awkward when they have to show a "highlight" of the fight and it's just a random 5-second clip of non-significant strikes.
