How did Michael Bisping end up on a pedestal on these forums?

[GordonMMARamsey]

I don't see what was so bad about Bisping wanting to fight Hendo, most fighters want to avenge their losses and he was at the end of his career. Romero was the only guy that made sense for a title shot and he was suspended half of 2016 and it could have been 9 months. Weidman, Rockhold and Silva didn't make sense and Mousasi had recently lost to Hall.

Cant reason with haters. they'd rather same dumb shit and ignore facts/logic.

And why woudn't he? Well deserved. The champion, the legend. Smart and very funny guy.

I’ve been lurking since 2010, and throughout the years there always seemed to be a general consensus when it came to Ping. And this is from someone who always enjoyed his fights and antics.

Good fighter, not great
Jack of all trades, master of none
Always fell short in big fights
Basically the ultimate gatekeeper

After Ping KO’d Rockhold to tie the rivalry 1-1.... the consensus still hadn’t changed. Everyone still thought the same of Bisping... only now they added “fluke champ” or “weak champ” when describing him.

He then when on to duck all top 5 middleweight contenders thus confirming everyone’s fluke/weak champ narrative. Arguably loses to by 46 year old Hendo, nearly finished twice. Then his damaged old body gets finished by Georges in a war and KTFO by Gastelum before retirement.

Now when you visit Sherdog, you’d think Bisping was the MW GOAT and viewed as a killer by most. What gives?

I think your mistaken budeh.

Bisping is liked for his mouth and ko'ing rockhold. No one thinks hes a killer by any means. But if you think hes a slouch you are also fooling yourself.

Guy Ritchie movies?


Seriously though, along with Rampage...these are the guys I want with me when a gang of 20 ninjas attacks.

Ping would be lighting em up with those pillow punches while Page is slamming 2 at a time on the concrete.

Me...im standing there smiling.

Why are you responding with rankings to a statement about ped use?

Oops. Because I had a brain fart. I was replying to this actually.

Bisping is the MW GOAT currently under USADA.

Had USADA been around in the beginning of Bisping's career his record would be 31-5-4NC.

Fights against Hendo 1, Belfort, Sonnen and Wand would be a NC due to steroids and TRT under USADA.

USADA has established a level playing field and a clean fighter like Bisping had finally become a defending champion.

Prevailed against Hendo in a rematch who still carried his TRT infused KO Power due to years of TRT usage but USADA era Bisping fought against the tyranny of TRT in a Fight of the Night performance and won the fight which is a little bit of justice for clean fighters.

The best clean MW in the UFC.

Not quite all of 'em huh TS?

Gritty. Held UFC record for most W's, some of them good ones. Great marketing tool for UFC in England. Funny. Ultimate fighter winner I think.

People hated Bisping till he fought Anderson and then they loved him even more after he beat Rockhold.

I never liked the guy but come on.

 

[Kowboy Karl]

Rockhold win buddeh

 

[Dbreiden83080]

He knocked out Luke
Got Drunk
And talked shit to his face..

BTW that was the last of the pressers with all the fighters. I miss those. So much more fun..

It's actually nothing like that.

You said you're 100% positive that Bisping, someone who you don't know personally, has never taken anything pre USADA that is currently banned. You have based that on absolutely nothing, and that's absolutely naive.

You'll point to him never failing a drug test, but you're probably one of the people on this site that say Hendricks was "juiced to the gills" pre USADA while never failing a drug test.

So I'll just leave this here, it's someone that actually knows Bisping personally. Skip to 27:45

Meh... he said "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones". He didn't say anything specific.

Sure, the haters, with their delusions will pretend he was implying something. But we don't know that. And I'm 100% sure Mikey Ping has never thrown stones.

It's pretty obvious what he meant. He also said "there are worse things than TRT and steroids" after saying that. He would know better than you and I about Bisping.

seems you missed the he's a dickhead consensus

Ah, ok. my bad.

GSP fans have been hyping him up. To make GSP look better.

How else does one's stock raise from a loss to GSP?
