So before the Stephan Bonnar fight I thought Bisping had a chance to beat Silva. Watching Silva deal with Bonnars size and strength adavantage, which Bisping wont have, their is no way in hell Bisping wins.
Bonnar and Bisping are very similar in all respects, but Bisping is just a smaller version.
Bisping would get smashed and I have no desire in this fight at all.
Anyone else agree?
Dwight K Schrute -Fact: nobody at 185 can beat Anderson.
You are prob right, but Weidman would have a chance due to his superior grappling and BJJ.
Weidman didnt shine vs Maia , I saw his stand up and he will get lit up standing , dont saymhe finished Munoz, come on Silva has a better chin
Same old song an dance.....
Theres always someone whos gonna beat Silva.....
Ho hum...
exciting fight imo

Wait, let's not overdue his "superiority"
They both have pretty stellar bjj and one of them has been applying it in mma for a lot longer.

True, you are right. Wrestling could be considered superior for Weidman though.

Not saying Weidman beats Anderson but..... If you don't think that elbow he landed on Munoz would drop Silva you are on crack.

Yes that I will agree with.
Although as a fan who has seen all of silvas fights I have no clue if he has good takedown defense or not.
I feel like he feels safe enough from damage on the ground and feels he has the chance at finishes (luter, Hendo, chael) because sometimes his tdd seems unreal.
I'm no fan of Bisping, but he deserves a shot regardless.

I fuckin' hate bisping's stupid ass but even i think he's deserving. Not only that, but i see him having more success than any fighter AS has ever fought in the ufc. Id bet a hundo on bisping.
If it happens, ill take that bet.

Plua weidman had a bad weight cut on short notice for the maia fight. Its been widely known yet tards ignore it.
Don't forget, Bonnar and Silva both took the fight on short notice. Bonnar wasn't fighting for a title. I don't even think Bonnar thought he could win, or even tried that hard to win. Bisping won't beat Silva, but you can't compare Bonnar's performance to how you think Bisping will fight.
I agree that mike doesnt have much of a chance, but he fights nothing like bonnar.....
At all
I saw a lot of potential for Michael Bisping early in his career. But he didn't grow as a fighter like I thought he would.
If I had to guess, I'd say he "trained mma", opposed to developing his natural ability to kick the shit outta someone.
The last thing to go is power, so in a few years, he won't have a whole lot of anything, other than intelligence, to rely on. As far as fighting goes.
I don't think it's too late to change......but it is ;-)
Also, he woulda been more successful at 205.
Bisping has nothing for The Spider, and frankly if AS is saying he only wants to fight 3 more times, Bisping doesn't need to be one of them

If you think that elbow lands on Silva you are on crack. Silva would never be in that position in the first place.
To boot, I am pterry sure I have seen Silva take harder shots than that and not even flinch. ;)
The only reason the fight hasn't happened yet is they want Bisping to stay relevant. Bisping would be destroyed by Silva, and he knows it. All the trash talking he does and he has beaten ONE top 10 fighter. Bisping needs to stop talking.
As vs bisping is the only money fight at 185 right now. Place this match in England and there will be huge gate for sure.
There might be a better matchup out there, but but interest and money. There is nothing yet

If you think he could land that elbow on Anderson you are on crack.
