I get where your coming from but you need to ease up as Anderson hasn't lost to a wrestler in the UFC yet. So while they've proven to be a threat they still lose..
And tbh I haven't seen any fans say they prefer one fight over the other at MW. Some have squealed at the prospect of JBJ v AS but rightly so JBJ is a dangerous dude. I think it'd make a good fight but both fighters are champions in different weight divisions so /shrug
Of course he would kill him. Thats the only reason Andy and his nuthuggers are trying so hard to promote him as the next contenter.
Bisping would beat Weidman.
Not even Sonnen could keep Bisping down, and Bisping has better striking than Weidman.
now Anderson and his fans push for it in the ufc more then any other champ I can think of in ufc history.
I don't see GSP and his fans pushing for a fight with Nick Diaz to be that much more different. Diaz is coming off of a drug suspension, did not even win his last fight, and is a much easier fight for GSP than Hendricks.
With Bisping, if he gets a title shot, it's because he actually earned it by beating Vitor. That, and Weidman is injured.
He's a far worse matchup than Bisping, and you're just hating if you deny that.
Weidman has the takedowns to put Silva on his back and, unlike Chael, the submission skills to put him in real trouble there.
Say what you want, but Weidman easily poses the biggest threat to Anderson at MW.
He would kill you too, Chris.
i haven't seen that many st pierre fans clamoring for diaz. in fairness though, that fight was scheduled twice in the past. it's not too different from anderson fighting a belfort coming in without a fight in 18 months, and with no wins at mw in the ufc.
Call me crazy, but I think that Bisping has a chance...I'd say about 15%. He has great footwork, great cardio, and takes fantastic angles. Does he have the power to knock anderson out? No, but who ever has? The only time a kick has defeated Anderson is when he planted one in Okami's face from guard. Bisping would negate a lot of Anderson's reach advantage and could stay busy enough to outpoint him. It's actually his points style that benefits him, as he wouldn't necessarily being looking to go for the "kill" that headhunters like Belfort, Cote, and Leben go for.
