I feel like if they fought in 2010 it would have been be a very close fight, probably a toss up. My gut says Rich probably would have big brothered him in a very close decision, much like Bisping vs Chael, or Rashad but I wouldn't completely rule out Bisping.
I also feel that the one eyed, old, Parillo trained version of Bisping was the best version of Bisping. Belt or no belt, it seemed like he didn't care / overthink as much, and he has alluded to this in interviews. He's also mentioned having the regret of over-training for most of his career, getting in his own way. I'd take this version of Bisping over any version of Rich.
And quit it with the MMAth with Wand and Hendo, Bisping beat the brakes off of Cung Le who brutally KO'd Franklin.
