Remember When Bisping Rocked Anderson Silva?

[Vulcan]

remember when bisping rocked silva and all of sherdog proclaimed silva's chin was gone? what if what if......we were wrong? what if bisping actually finally gained his old man strength and suddenly developed legit knockout power? could this possible mean an anderson silva with a better gameplan could regain his belt???

Nah Silva is old, and no longer taking steroids. His chin is gone.

 

[cevo]

It's over bro. Let it go.

He could potentially take the belt from Bisping, but so could most of the top 10. Rockhold didn't respect Bisping and paid for it, but Bisping is nowhere near the best fighter in the division. Let's stop with the BS.

Steroids do not make your chin strong.

Just like in baseball it doesn't help you see the release of the ball any better. Steroids aren't A magic wand

So roids help you take punches?

 

[MrFeeny]

nah.
the only reason silva even won 2 rounds is because bisping looked away and started talking trash to herb.
silva get's 50-45'd or finished against bisping if they rematched.

 

[Dart Feld]

Don't throw ugly punches at Bisping.

Just makes you look like a hater when you say that as he's holding the belt.

Bisping is Boxing better. Planting his feet. Putting some pop in his shots. Throwing hooks.
Before he just threw straights.
It's no coincidence he's dropping people with hooks now.
Andersond chin probably isn't as good as his younger years but it's certainly not glass .

 

[SlicerDM]

I remember Bisping almost being KTFO by Silva.

That's a stupid thing to say. Did it make people look like haters when they said Serra wouldn't hold the WW title? We're here to discuss fights, not blindly kiss the asses of the current champs.

I think he has always had the power to KO someone. Silva and Rockhold both gave him no respect and left openings. Bisping has legit boxing and took advantage.

seemed to work for bigfoot.

Do you really & truly believe Bisping is the best 185 pound fighter on the planet?

Bisping is finally sitting down on his punches and that's the difference. He's always had power as evidenced by his destructive gnp he just couldn't produce on his feet because he didn't plant his feet. Congrats to him showing his real power now.

Yeah but to say he's 'nowhere near' the best fighter is kind of disrespectful and holding your subjective opinion of his skills over the results. If somebody wins the belt they should at least be given the benefit of the doubt as 'one of' the best fighters at that time.

 

[deviake]

I already thought Bisping's style could give Anderson problems. He confirmed it in the fight.

Silva's chin may not be what it used to but Bisping caught him in much the same way Weidman did. (Edit: With the same punch at least.)

 

[BigMuffler]

Do you really & truly believe Bisping is the best 185 pound fighter on the planet?

I believe that he is 'one of' the best and that people saying he clearly isn't the best are overrating their own ability to judge fighters (above the actual results).
