I see Bisping as a good fighter who's below the very elite, but above the rest. A top 10 MW, who will struggle with the top 5. Vitor's in the highest class along with Anderson, Sonnen and Weidman. Those are the most skilled MW's in the world, Bisping is a tier behind, which will show tonight.
Vitor's great in 2 areas, Bisping's good in all, but great in none. Guys like him, Marquardt, Forrest, Franklin and Nelson won't win a UFC belt nowdays. You need to be exceptional in at least one area, which all current champs are.
Totally agree... You can't just be an all rounder anymore. You either have to be a freak athelete like JBJ or have an exceptional skill to propell you to the top. The good all rounders have great records, but can't unseat the 1 or 2 elite guys. This is why Hendricks has had a phenomenally quick rise. Great wrestling with a great heavy hand.
