Has bisping improved wrestling and ground game?

[Fenix874]

We all think that bisping's biggest weakness is grappling. What if he worked really hard on those areas and jacare and weidman won't be able to push him. I wouldn't be suprised m...

I've always thought Bisping was pretty good at scrambling and getting up from his back. Maybe I'm remembering wrong though.

 

[Fenix874]

Just think of tim kennedy fight

 

[EvilManny]

He's had great TDD and scrambling in every fight except the Tim Kennedy one

 

[Nimrod]

I remember Chail saying bisping was da boss when he was wrestlers with him..

Jacare and weidman are better scramblers than kennedy

I'm English but god damn Yoel Romero's going to hurt Mike if they fight

Bispy has always had prob some of best wrestling for Euro fighter in UFC.

He does have a chance in the Romero fight due to his great gas tank and output. If Bisping can survive early (not sure if he can Romero is a monster) he could gas him out and win the later rounds maybe pick up a finish.

i think he has improved his slow starts ... he was notorious for giving away the first round and playing catch up ... he knows he has the cardio, so he doesn't have to conserve much and he has been around the block where he doesn't have to feel guys out ..

Jacare murders him in the wrestling/ground exchange imo.

When he first entered the ufc,his wrestling was not so good but he improved alot,first noticed it in the wanderlei fight he was doing things he wasnt capable of before.

I like your optimism but god damn

Yoel seems like a nightmare for Bisping. Bisping should def cheat like Tim Kennedy to get the win

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Bisping doesn't have the ground game to mix it up with Hendo let alone Romero, Jacare, Weidman, Moose, Rockhold. His bread and butter is stick and move and if he diverges from that gameplan there goes his belt with it.

 

[Dogo1]

Since he won tuf 3 his wrestling has improved by leaps and bounds.

Well I'd say Chael has better takedowns than Kennedy, but he had much more trouble getting Kennedy down and holding him there.

You don't know what's going to happen in a match up there's complexities to grappling just like striking.

Bisping is very well rounded. It's true that an elite wrestler will be able to hold him down, but against an average wrestler he will be able to fair very well. You could argue the same thing about Bisping's striking. He might be one of the most well rounded fighters ever because he is good at so many things but not really great at anything.

The big problem with that, though, is that we're living in an era where fighters are actually managing to be great at many things, like Jacare.

I do think Romero would win (and if he does he'll make it look easy) but given how Bisping seems to be winning fights he shouldn't lately so maybe lightning will strike again haha.

Bisping's striking is better than Jacare's
