That's almost like saying Conor Mcgregor is the best 145 lb champion in UFC history because he beat Aldo and then held the belt from Dec 2015 to October 2018.
Bisping did not fight a top 10 MW after winning the belt. This is 100% a fact. By that point Dan Henderson's best years were long behind him when they fought for the second time. Anybody with a pair of eyes and a brain could see this. He was ranked 13 at MW after beating Hector btw.
Even in hindsight Serra's win over GSP is still move impressive.
OK. Credit where credit is due. I went back, reexamined Serra's & Bisping's records. And I thought about it a bit & you're right. Because of who St. Pierre became during his second reign at welterweight & later his win over Bisping for the middleweight title, Serra's reign was more impressive than Bisping's.
