Will Bisping ever beat a Top 5 opponent?

[marksmen]

So will he? Seems like he can string a few wins together to get a top ranked fighter or a number one contender fight but always falls short. He will have another shot again against Munoz (according to UFC rankings) he's ranked 5th, well 6th if you include the champ. I think if he loses this fight he will never get another shot at trying. Thoughts?

 

[Jawth]

If Munoz is ranked 5th, then yes.

 

[Concrete]

He still only has the one top 10 win doesn't he?

 

[GloutonSang]

He has nothing to prove, he's beaten a murderer's row of top 15-20 guys.

 

[ferrisjso]

I think Bisping will beat Munoz by decision. If that counts then yeh. If Bisping beats Munoz what's sad for Bisping is he'll still be another fight or two away from a title elim because the MW division's so stacked.

Bisping said he'd like to fight for a few more years.

Even if he loses this fight, he'll get another shot. He's like a MW version of Faber.

I think Stann and Belcher were both ranked when he fought them.

LOL True.

Unlikely he's only coddled due to cash cow/UK interest status.

 

[iLesnar]

Let him beat a top 10 first.

I don't know if that's fair, he hasn't won but he's fought monsters like Belfort and Sonnen lately.

 

[CountOfSoCal]

Yep. They were #8 and #9 if I remember correctly.

 

[SewerPirate]

He can beat Munoz.

 

[ravifreitas]

I hope yes, he's a funny guy and a good fighter.

 

[Grappleboxing]

I don't get why people say Bisping is a middleweight Faber. Bisping loses every top contender match and Faber only loses in championship matches. Faber via title shot!

On topic, yes Bisping can beat a top 5 opponent. He matches up with Munoz rather well so I feel he should win that fight. I also feel he beats Jacare as Jacare is primarily a grappler(He only has 2 Ko's to his name so don't bring up Brunson or Okami), and Bisping has great defensive wrestling as well as underrated submission defense.

We saw what happened with Vitor, I feel Anderson will destroy him, and so would Weidman.

Lol Sonnen's barely over .500 he gets fights based on his promotion I like him but be realistic.

 

[Presinator]

He's gonna beat Munoz. I'd take him over Okami, Phillipou and Boetsch in the top 10 UFC rankings as well.

lol true.

NO!! He is not. Faber has title shots under his belt, Bisping doesn't have shit yet gentlemen!!!
