Is Michael Bisping the worst middleweight champion / worst fighter to win a belt?

[The Chosen]

I would say Eddie Alvarez is probably the worst champ

 

[textwarrior]

100% yes

EDIT - Dave Menne

Thats who I was thinking.

 

[Darbo]

Prime vs Prime. he losses to silva, whittaker, romero, israel, weidman, mousasi, jacare, rockhold, hendo, vitor, machida,

Fuck off you massive cunt.

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

K. I don't feel the need to find the one where Rockhold got knocked out in a round.

That fight was flukish, and Rockhold went on a skid after that

If you took them both in their prime and had them fight 100 times, Rockhold would win the majority of them

You know this

Any clean fighter is instantly above the ones who cheated to get there.

 

[dalegordon]

So yeah clearly an attempt to disparage bispings achievements. Bisping is the most winningest fighter in ufc middleweight history, never backed down from anyone and won the belt on two weeks notice. Great fighter and great story of someone who never gave up when he could of easily done so.

 

[qw3rty]

only mw champ who got beat by a ww....

And a 50 years old guy

 

[Mayonnaiseandjelly]

GSP hand picked him.

Because he was the worst mw champ of all time

 

[jsbx45]

No, At one point he had the record for the most UFC wins. He won the championship fair and square.

Not even thinly veiled hate threads.

 

[Mike]

Yes, he wasn't even a top 10 fighter in the division. He was a solid gatekeeper

LMAO objectively false. He was ranked top ten, and then later top 5, for the bulk of his career.

Considering Eddie has one of the best resumes in lw history, that seems unreasonable.

 

[Here's Johnny!]

Prime vs Prime. he losses to silva, whittaker, romero, israel, weidman, mousasi, jacare, rockhold, hendo, vitor, machida,

Prime bs prime I think he could beat Weidman and possibly Romero he is super underrated if he didn't get the belt he would be considered one of the best fighters to never win a belt... he was almost unwrestlable and fought smart every fight.

 

[blaseblah]

Prime vs Prime. he losses to silva, whittaker, romero, israel, weidman, mousasi, jacare, rockhold, hendo, vitor, machida,

Not even at middleweight. Rockhold was a worse champion and got KO'd by Bisping.

 

[SL1200]

He had a nice career. Was given a chance and he made the most of it. Good for him.
Can't hate a man for that. Go make something of yourself instead of wasting negative energy at other people. Make a thread about someone you do like or something.

 

[CountOfSoCal]

Love the salty Bisping haters who make these threads every other week.

 

[TheMessiah]

British fighters are always over over ranked. Look at Dan Hardy and Till

 

[G10]

100% yes

Really? He's one of the best lightweights in the history of the sport!

 

[IIIIIIII]

?

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

?

You said GSP was a worse champ than Bisping even though he KO'd Bisping to win the belt

 

[IIIIIIII]

one win in that division doesn't usurp all that bisping did at middleweight. gsp didn't even have to fight anyone to get the chance at the belt.
