What's the chance of Bisping fighting and actually defending his MW belt?

[Combat Wombatt]

I think it's doubtful no matter who his opponent is. I've never found Bisping exciting to watch but he seems like a decent guy, so nothing against him. He normally just wins by boring decision. Against top competition he's never consistently won which is why he's never had a title shot in 10 years of fighting in the UFC. Many have called him a gatekeeper.

As champ against the UFC's current top MW's he will lose to these fighters, these fighters being Jacare, Romero, Weidman, and think about this, even old, past his prime Anderson if they rematched. If Anderson had finished up after than knee rather then celebrate prematurely thinking he'd won, it would have been over for Bisping. Or if Anderson hadn't let off the gas when he had Bisping hurt numerous times, Bisping would have been finished.


So, what do you think the chance of Bisping fighting and actually defending his newly won MW belt?


Nothing against Bisping but I just see him losing his first title defense.

He was supposed to have no chance against Anderson, THEN he was supposed to have no chance against Rockhold. Will you people ever learn?

 

[ortizgnp]

Everytime I see your screen name I immediately think of Womb Raider.

 

[Goodfella86]

I think he has a better shot against Weidman than anyone else- and even that would be an upset. He can definitely beat anybody in the world, though.

Every time anyone here says a fighter has "no chance" I'm just going to say "Bisping/Rockhold"

Alternatively anytime anyone shits on a card before it happens I will also say "UFC 199"

Bull to the shit.

Well, if you're not implying Anderson took a dive. Are you?

Or are you spouting the same laughable shit as back in the days when Anderson "lost to Weidman cuz he was clowning, would have beat him if he hadn't been!"?

^^^^^^^What he said.........now crawl back under your rock......

So I take it you're gonna place a big bet on Bisping for his next fight, and post the slip?

People gave him no chance against Luke with very good reason, but it's mma and one punch can change everything. Everyone is acting like "I told you so" now, but I didn't fucken see anyone making much noise and predicting Bisping before the fight.

Have we not learned anything?

You can't predict des tings

Anderson Silva died in 2012... that was when he last won a fight.

Can we stop pretending he's a relevant MW in 2016.

 

[Bmurray]

Depends on who it is and what shape they come in at

I could see Yoel gassing
I could see Jacare getting rocked
Weidman is probably the hardest for me to imagine losing, but maybe a thorough and safe decision win for Micheal? Its possible

I'll say:
60/40
50/50
40/60

Respectively

 

[Haj01]

you think he should ride off into the sunset? Never fight again?

Rockhold was super arrogant and it was more of him acting stupidly with his hands down and chin out than great fighting by Rockhold. Rockhold beats Bisping 9/10 times.


Anderson theoretically had Bisping beat but ran to the cage and celebrated rather than finish Bisping. So you act like it was entirely Bisping being the reason he won.

 

[Bogeyman]

I'm not a fan of Bisping but I'm certainly not buying into the idea that "all the top contenders at middleweight will run through him". He's a tough veteran and more than capable of holding his own against all of them. Nobody was giving him a chance against Rockhold either but he was good enough to stay in the fight and get a first round knockout. Is it so far fetched to think that he has a chance against Weidman or Romero? I don't think that's so much of a stretch.

 

[Rovert]

Ill tune in that's for sure , the lead up to this fight was just great , Bisping had me falling off my chair in laughter , I want to see a third fight just for the shit talk .

Bisping is going to go Tate now and tell us who should be fighting for the title. I'm sure Jorge Rivera is going to be the number one contender or that he's got unfinished business with him.

 

[crxer]

I say there is a chance like we saw last night, he will defend the belt. But i see him losing to everyone in the top 5 right now. Rockhold rematch, Romero, Weidman, Jacare would eat him alive. I dunno, i dont see him holding onto it for long if Rockhold coulnt defend bisping is NOT defending that title. Seems like Anderson was the only one who kept it for so long.

Oh Christ not this shit again

No one said anything about a dive.


Anderson lost because he's an idiot. He had multiple chances to finish Bisping and didn't.

No one is saying Bisping is the favorite I'm any of those fights. Just that he has a chance.

No one bets the farm just because they think someone has a chance. Well, most don't.

The people saying I told you so we're actually pretty vocal beforehand. There weren't many (I was not one of them. Thought Bisping would get steamrolled) but they were out there.
