Don't get wrong Bisping deserved a title shot before rides off but lets be realistic the Moose was the one who should have been given the shot. I think Luke would have beat Gegard as well but it would have been alot more interesting fight.
 
I'm good with Bisping getting it. I think it was the logical choice given the circumstances.
 
He's 4-3 in his last 7 fights and is on a 1 fight winning streak. I like the Moose but he did not deserve a shot.
 
Gegard has been very hot-and-cold throughout his UFC run, and unlike Bisping (who has also underperformed against elite-level competition), does not have the recognizable name nor the wolf-ticket-salesman skills required to hype up a short-notice fill-in title fight.

He is 10-3-1 his last 14 fights which have all been UFC/Strikeforce not too mention every opponent he faced at the time of fight was a top 15 ranked guy.
So numbers work both ways dude
 
I think that wouldn't make much sense given the current landscape and fan interest. But I hear you, playboy.

He still doesn't deserve a title shot. Unless it's the shot at the most overrated belt.

I'd like to see this fight I think it's a awsome matchup. Moose has a iron chin fun fight but makes little sense
 
Well, one thing is for sure. Bisping will bring the talk and he'll walk the walk.

Not saying it to your directly brother but yeah Bisping is really deserving by beating a 53 year old spider......

Mousasi got knocked out by a guy who's never been able to crack the top 10 just 6 months ago, there's no way to spin it where he actually deserves it, he needs to stop being looked at as some mythical contender, he'll never be more than a gatekeeper.
 
I'm sure they would have done it had Hall not kicked his face in
 
Yeah right he got finished by Uriah Hall. He's not that good.

It's like Dana said Jac are is out weidman out..... spider probably coulda finished bisping too if he didn't celebrate premature
 
Bisping had a FOTN win over Silva to cap off a three fight win streak. That's way more deserving than a KO loss sandwiched between two underwhelming, conservative performances.
 
No way man. I'm a huge fan of Mousasi, but Bisping is clearly more deserving.
 
Bisping is the easy sell right now. They can give him his title shot and not have to worry about him anymore. They know Luke destroyed him once already and probably will again. Plus Bisping can sell the fight on short notice . Moussasi and Jacare were too risky, each deserves a title shot and both will get it soon but for right now this is the easiest fight to make
 
Nah doesn't deserve it, he barely has a wining record in UFC.
