Remember When Bisping Rocked Anderson Silva?

[Sampsonsimpson]

Silva's chin is very clearly not as good as it used to be.

Not just his chin. His reaction time and footwork seemed to have gone downhill also.

i DO

and i've been saying it for years

i knew it to be true when he went to a split decision with Chael in 2012.
I said to myself, this guy can compete with and beat the very best in the world at 185 pounds.

and say what you want, but the proof is in the pudding my friends

I think he gets annihilated by weidman, romero, jacare, & prob Rockhold in a rematch. I also think he loses to Whittaker & mousasi & Kennedy. Unless the ufc goes crazy & gives old man dan the next shot for that sensational ko of Hector then Bisping isn't defending that belt.

 

[BigNuggetIce]

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).

I mean I guess technically he deserves the top spot since he KO'd the champ but I would be shocked if he beat weidman, romero, jacare or even Rockhold again. I can't wait to see his next fight tho.

I still can't stop laughing at this shit.

So roids help you take punches?

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

Big Foot Silva disagrees. And though they may no instantly make Silvas chin stronger, they make him faster, they give him better reflexes, they help him move better. Without them, he doesn't move as well, he doesn't have the same reflexes, he cant get out of the way of punches and he gets hit, and hurt. We have seen it several times in his last 4 fights. Truth hurts.

Don't throw ugly punches at Bisping.

People need to respect bisping. Absolutely ridiculous people are not giving him credit for knocking luke silly. Sure luke thought he was going to win, and then he got knocked out. He was wrong.

But none of that makes his chin better. Which was the point at hand.

I remember this more

 

[Takamine86]

Anderson's chin is clearly gone. Dude used to be able to take H-Bombs like nothing.

 

[muaythaibeast]

I've never understood the pillow fists comment, Bisping has something like a 70% finish rate with next to no submissions.
The guys a 95 kg former British kickboxing champ, of course he has power. Just in his last few fights he's knocked out Cung Le with a knee, knocked Anderson Silva down twice, and knocked out Rockhold

 

[muaythaibeast]

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

Not necessarily, but look at it this way. Vitor without TRT looks like a shadow of his former self, Weidman looked tiny and off his game in his only fight of the USADA era, we know Silva has failed tests, and as much as I disagree with it, so does Machida.
Jacare is a massive threat, but if Bisping can keep it standing he should win that one too. Mousasi is a huge threat too, but we know he can show up off his game.
All these guys could beat Bisping, but Bisping could beat all these guys too.

How quickly they forget

Actually testosterone improves visual acuity, reflexes and reaction time.

[LukeSkyRutten]

One problem: Chael Sonnen. When he rocked Anderson, his chin was officially gone.

 

[LukeSkyRutten]

Don't throw ugly punches at Bisping.

Must suck for Rockhold when a 41 year old man with a titanium rod in his shin is better at taking a punch.

 

[GordonMMARamsey]

But none of that makes his chin better. Which was the point at hand.

We've seen a number of fighters lose their chin when their steroids were taken away.

 

[Ananth]

Rematch Bisping with Silva again and the belt goes back to Brazil.

Silva has become a circus clown as hes aged, but I'm sure he will take it serious if the title is on the line.

 

[ShinkanPo]

Don't throw ugly punches at Bisping.

Anderson Just could not Matrix the shit out of his opponents anymore he tried that againts Weidman and got Koed he got drop by Bisping too.

 

[ShinkanPo]

Every 200lb professional fighter can knock anyone out with a punch.

Bisping seems to be throwing with greater force now though, wider arc on the hooks and over hands.

This is what I notice in the Rockhold fight its amazing how Bisping has not KOed anyone in the UFC and first time ye gets a KO it wins him the title if UFC Middle Champ.
