And that's still a fact today. Pretty sad if you ask me. I am not impressed with this matchmaking at all. What do y'all think?
I like it. Two old dogs going at it.
I think Bisping has always been two fights away from a title shot. He's put in the years and hard work. I don't mind him fighting Silva off of his suspension.
I always wanted to see this fight. If this is how it happens, then so be it. It's one of those fights where you root for both fighters.

Bisping deserved to fight Anderson for the strap when he edged out Chael.
Bisping is a legend.
I never want to see Anderson fight again, but Bidping is the safest fight reasonably available to him imo.
smags - Bisping deserved to fight Anderson for the strap when he edged out Chael.Except Chael beat him.

Why not? Anderson is just a regular guy at MW right now. I doubt he has much interest in regaining the title. It makes just as much sense as any other fight.
He could have been gifted a title shot back when Silva was fighting Cote, Leites, Maia.
Anderson is basically on a 3 fight losing streak where as Bisping just beat a very tough and high ranked Leites.
If anything, Anderson doesn't deserve this fight right now ;)
I'll be completely honest. I don't give a fairies fuck who deserves what. Because I'm going!

I had Bisping. I thought that was the best he's ever looked in that fight. His hands were really on point!
BadMotherTucker - He could have been gifted a title shot back when Silva was fighting Cote, Leites, Maia.Three fight? Come on now. It wasnt pretty but he beat nick in that no contest.

He never earned a title shot vs Prime Silva.
Silva of the last 3 years is 0-2-1 with a steroid suspension.
I think it's fine for Bisping to fight him.....

I like the match making on this....
Silva has worked his way down to Bisping
