I hope you are right@!!
Really liking Bisping, he has really grown on me.

I stopped reading when I read striking= Bisping. I dont care if he's more diverse. Belfort definitely has the edge in striking.
Belfort nuthuggers are underestimating Bisping a lot. After he loses the decision, the phenom goes back to knocking out middle of the road guys like Akiyama and all the fan boys say "the phenom is back" for the tenth time.
People are getting way too carried away with the Belfort love now. Belfort can knock out or out grapple the middle of the road guys but Michael Bisping is not middle of the road. He's ready for a title shot and Belfort is not going to stop his plans. Belfort lovers convinently forgetting that Bisping disputably won against Chael Sonnen too is funny. Only looking at one side of the coin, and lol at the guy that said Belfort did good against Randy Couture (in the third fight I guess), in what universe? Even Tito was taking him down and controlling the entire fight against Belfort.
Vitor's near sub of Jon Jones >>>> than anything Bisping's done in the grappling departmen.
How can you downplay Belfort saying he only beats middle of the pack guys but praise bisping who has never won a top 10 fight EVER
Vitor's wins and competition have been much higher than anything Bisping has ever done.
I am not saying Bisping cannot win this but to say stupid things like Vitor only beats middle of the road guys. If Vitor only beats middle of the road than bisping only beats guys at the start of the road.
I think most of the people picking Bisping have the Stann win fresh in their memories. In a lot of ways, Stann is a similar fighter to Vitor (although of course not as good or nearly as well rounded).
The problem is that based on the famous Hendo KO, most people assume Bisping can't hack power punchers. When in fact, that's the only time he's ever been KOd in his career and he's faced the likes of Chris Leben, Rashad, and the aforementioned fight with Brian Stann.
Lets compare by skill set
striking= bisping (imo more diverse)
power= belfort
grappling= bisping
submission= tie
cardio=bisping
