Can we all agree Bisping is the true BMF?

Thread is about Bisping being the BMF. I'm pointing out why he isn't. I don't blame him for taking the GSP fight, but he still ducked the division's #1 contender which means he can't be the BMF

Bisping is the man of course, but if you want fighters with "eye things" being BMFs, you might have to go old school with Yuki Nakai.
From Wikipedia:
On April 20, 1995 Nakai entered the Vale Tudo Japan tournament, figuring at 135 lbs as the lightest competitor of the night. His first opponent would be the Dutch karate expert and Ultimate Fighting Championship semifinalist Gerard Gordeau. Started the match, Nakai immediately rushed his opponent with a takedown attempt, but Gordeau used the ropes to keep himself standing and punched Nakai's head, and they remained entangled on them for the rest of the first round. At the second, the Japanese dropped down and initiated a heel hook entry, only for Gordeau to clamp himself to the ropes again and land strikes on his supine opponent, eye-gouging him illegally several times. Restarted on the center of the ring, a bloody and half-blinded Nakai was forced to lie down on the mat while he and Gordeau probed each other from their respective positions. Finally, after a third round passed on the ropes, Nakai scored a double leg takedown against the ring corner, escaped from a guillotine choke attempt by Gordeau and dropped down for another heel hook, this time managing to submit the Dutchman after half an hour of fighting.
Despite his right eye being gravely injured and having lost half of his eyesight,[4] Nakai advanced round in the tournament and went to the ring to fight against American amateur wrestler Craig Pittman, who sported a full 100-lb weight advantage. The bigger wrestler took him down and landed heavy ground and pound near the ropes while Nakai tried repeatedly for armbars from the bottom. Pittman continued his assault on the center of the ring, but Nakai fended him off with a usage of both butterfly and spider guard. In the second round, Nakai dropped to the ground and resumed trying to submit Pittman from his guard, which he finally accomplished with an armbar at 7:32 of the round.[4]
Now with both of his eyes swollen shut from the punishment and almost totally blind, Yuki would face Brazilian jiu-jitsu master Rickson Gracie in the third and final bout of the tournament. Nakai resisted Rickson's earlier attempts of achieving dominant position, but he was too lacerated to keep up his defense and eventually Gracie took the side control. The Brazilian advanced to a cradle position and followed by taking full mount, from where he landed some punches before catching Yuki in a rear naked choke for the tap out, thus winning the tournament.[4] Due to Gordeau's illegal tactics and Nakai's own refusal to get medical attention in order to continue in the tournament, he became permanently blind in his right eye.[5] which forced him to retire from mixed martial arts competition. For years he and Sayama kept his blindness a secret to protect the reputation of the sport.

Define BMF.
Bisping was tough; I'll give him that much. Not many could ever come back from a knockout like Henderson's and go on to be successful and even win the title nontheless. Furthermore he developed an eye injury so his last ten or so fights in the UFC were with only one eye. Having said that, he did have a lot of luck along the way. By that I mean that the UFC was willing to put up with him sh*tting his pants everytime he got a title shot. If he were any other fighter on the roster, he wouldn't have been given the title shot against Rockhold but because the UFC needed a British champion, they were willing to treat him with some preferential treatment. In his fight with Rockhold, he more or less caught Rockhold whereas in their first match, Bisping got outclassed.
Bisping's toughness withstanding, he never was a dangerous fighter. A dangerous fighter is someone who has
To put matters into perspective in Bisping's last fight against Gastelum, a swift right hand from Gastelum and Bisping dropped to the floor faster than a sorority girl's underwear.
Dan Henderson and Kelvin Gastelum are dangerous fighters.
As a side note I really dislike Bisping a great deal. It is very difficult for me to have an unbiased opinion about the man. This will be an attempt

- Devastating knockout power
- Tricky and efficient submissions
