What makes people believe GSP would beat Bisping?

Why is out of prime WW a favorite against a fighter who is 14-1 at LHW and has wins over Luke Rockhold, Anderson Silva, Dan Henderson, Brian Stann, Matt Hamill, Thales Leites etc.?

Its like people dont understand why there are weightclasses. Bisping will likely knock him out inside 2 rounds and make it look easy.

The question is whether GSP can keep the fight on the ground for five rounds.

If he does, he wins.

Question should be whether he lands even a single takedown on Bisping, let alone keep him down. Even if he manages to do that once or twice, its highly unlikely he can win a 5 rounder. I dont understand why he is considered the favorite, he should be over +300 imo. Too small, too long layoff.
 
he might make more money than bisping - thats all people care about these days - so that would be a win

cormier beat jones last weekend in disclosed salary - champ

You do realize Bisping vs Hamill was one of the worst robberies in modern MMA history, right?

Modern? It was over a decade ago you idiot. Mike was green as fuck back then . Let's see who would win if they fought now.

Watch Bisping's fight against Kennedy....
 
Gsp technically is probably more rounded than most fighters bisping has fought.

Bisping will have a slight size advantage which could be the deciding factor.

Gsp 49-46
 
We just saw Cerrone go 3 rounds with the former WW champ, and Cerrone was never a belt holder with 9 defenses. I'm not inclined to just overlook Bisping's size, but if GSP thinks he can win that fight I'm inclined to let him show us what's up.
 
I would favour a prime GSP. However in 2017 the odds should favour Bisping.
Cheering for GSP though.
 
GSP only loses to fighters named Matt so I would assume Bisping is fooked.

That is not what modern means, retard. We are not back in the days of one martial art vs another martial art. Once fighters became capable in multiple disciplines and became more well rounded, we entered a new era of MMA.

For someone that has been on this site so long I wouldn't expect you to be this stupid. I thought you would actually be able to understand the history of MMA and how it evolved. Obviously you are not intelligent enough to understand what I'm even talking about right now but it is alright.
