The problem many have with him these days is not that doesn't fight the best guys, because as some have listed the fighters he won and lost to, that's not the case.
But it's really the way he says he's going to win his fights. Not knocking confidence, but we all know there's a realistic limit of predicting how you're going to win.
"I'm going to destroy the Axe Murderer!" He landed one solid shot in the 1st round and then preceded to lose the fight and almost be KOed with seconds left in the fight.
"You'll be back on the undercard!" fighting Jorge Rivera. Jorge did better in the standup than most expected. The illegal knee absolutely changed the outcome of the fight (for the record, Bisping would have most likely won regardless). Then seconds in the 2nd round, he gets wobbled bad before regaining composure and getting the TKO.
Fought Brian Stann and won asides the scary 1st round. He claimed he was going to KO Stann bad and was angry at all of the non-believers of his powers. Bisping didn't.
Now all the talk he's spewing at Vitor, he HAS to win in the fashion he claims he will or no one will ever take seriously any of his title shot claims realistically.
Not a Bisping hater (anymore, his fight with Sonnen finally showed me he's capable of a tough fight for most of the MW division. Still thought Chael won but it was super close), just that loudly making predictions for your victories and almost coming up heavily short in most of them doesn't do you any favors.
