Have to admit as an Anderson fan i'm feeling a bit unsure. Good for Bisping if he finally gets a ts but i'd rather see Silva celebrating with Bisping lying crumpled on the floor thinking "what happened?"

Andy is still very much in the matrix. The Weidman fights were glitches, and the code was still a little dodgy in the Diaz fight.
Andy is a horrible matchup for volume punchers with low power. Bisping's only chance is a UD based on hit-n-run peppering mixed with takedowns over 5 rounds.
Not happening. Bisping is going to eventually overreach and get blasted by a counter, in the vein of Forrest, who is arguably a bigger, more brawling-oriented version of Bisping. They are both volume guys with little power who try to wear guys down with grit and pressure. Bisping has better technique going for him, but Andy has the zenith of technique, so Bisping has no advantage there.
You lose 2 fights in the UFC, you go away for a little while, and suddenly everybody thinks Bisping of all people can beat you when a few years ago, everyone was convinced you'd eat him like a Lunchable.

Anderson shouldn't even be fighting. If he wins his fans are like "Ya that guys is awesome, he can knock out anyone.", if he loses they be like "Same as the Weidman fights, Silva is passed his prime so this doesn't mean anything."

The man who predicted Holly would beat Ronda, Conor would beat Aldo & Pettis would lose to Alvarez has spoken.
In b4 'I also predicted so and so' spare me I don't care, I have shared the knowledge!....
I can honestly see that coming to fruition.

Until he got dumb? You mean having his takedowns defended and being picked apart on the feet? Stop posting, kid.

Anderoid ? Is that what people are calling him these days ?
I have not been on these forums for a while. Is Anderson's legacy completely tarnished among mma fans following his failed test ?

He didn't look bad against diaz. Diaz chose to try to counter fight which Anderson didn't bite the bait and simply out pointed diaz in a insignificant fight

Would be cool if bisping won
I'm actually putting money down on Bisping, not a lot mind you, but anybody saying that it is an easy fight for Silva can't let go.
AS looked like an average fighter against a retired WW... then gets popped for *3 substances*, if the Silva that showed up vs Nick, shows up again it should be a competitive fight.
But why do we like to pretend that steroids had no impact on AS'a performance? people like to downplay the effects these PED's have on an athlete, in reality PED's can turn you from not even qualifying to a gold medal winner in the Olympics.
AS is a huge ? Right now, I just expect the worst version of AS that we have ever seen.
