is he a top 30 fighter all time?

30-9

Has some good names on his resume

Only turned down fights when he had the belt but usually was one of the most reliable guys in the roster

I would be willing to forgive the victor loss because of chemicals

Probably one of the few true clean fighters

Did a lot for the sport by bringing in euro fans and helped UFC expand into England and Europe
 
Easily the Goat broadcaster. Still working to make the ufc/mma better, always a great entertainer, fought his ass off drug free with little athleticism, pisses people off but is able to expertly walk the line, cared about/called out max when he was in bad shape and took a liking to my kid and sent him shout out saying see you in the octagon.

As far as all time fighter rank? Ehhhh a biased top 20 me thinks. Number 1 MW for sure.

He's good but not great. Tough, resilent, and usually not an easy fight for anyone but I don't consider his skills to be truly elite.
 
Top 5 all time mw.

Fought clean when few others did.
 
Probably #4 or #5 all-time MW

Respect the way he kept improving and honing his craft even though pure talent-wise he wasn't on the level of the top guys.. he did it with hard work and toughness
 
Got wrecked by every elite fighter he ever fought, outside of his fluke win over salt. Top 100
 
Dude is legit but when you look at his career it seems like he lost to the top guys whenever he fought them

Rockhold is an exception

Top 5 MW, easily top 30 all round. Did a lot for the sport in the UK as well!
 
Great example of a person who put in the hard work to overcome his lack of talent in certain areas of his game. Tons of heart and never gave up his dream. Always keeps it real when it comes to trash talk as well. Sure it's antagonizing but it's also genuine.

Bisping doesn’t belong anywhere near that group of fighters. But Vitor and Ronda should be in there.
 
Somewhere below GSP

You forgot Dillishaw.
 
I dunno, but he's a scrappy fuckin dude who did a lot with what he had to work with.

That deserves respect.

I don't rate him very highly.
He doesn't have many top wins.
