Bisping takes this; he'll out work Belfort, pepper him with strikes standing and rough him up in the ground. UD to Bisping all damn day, if not a TKO in the later rounds due as much to exhaustion than any real damage inflicted.
I realise Vitor is ultra dangerous in the first round and Bisping has previously been clipped and hurt in the first (Hendo, Miller, Stann and Kang all caught him) before settling into his groove, and that's really the only way I see Belfort winning. I know he almost subbed Jones but he still got beat to hell and submitted afterwards, and Bisping will be on high alert for armbars when he inevitably takes Belfort down.
Then Bisping gets to show what he can do against Silva. Best of luck to him.

Rule 1: REMEMBER that you cannot reason someone out of an argument they did not reason themselves into in the first place.
Rule 2: Albert Einstein once wrote a foreword endorsing a book rubbishing the theory of plate tectonics. History proved him wrong. Moral of the story? REMEMBER: We all say stupid stuff sometimes!
Rule 3: NEVER attempt to mediate in a flame-war between GSP and BJ Penn nuthuggers debating GSP/Penn II. It won't end well.
