I'll take Munoz KOing him all day long.

wait...so you're saying that Bisping won every fight in his career except the Hendo KO?

Wow.

not in a 5 round title fight. 25 min is too long to go with silva and not finish. just ask chael who couldnt even do it on his best day ever

if anyone has a chance to dec silva and not get caught it would be a bulked up gsp... or jones and 205...and even then i still doubt it

Tell me, what top 10 fighter at LHW was Bisping robbed against? The only controversial fight he had at 205 where he Lossed was to Evans, but evans was not top 10 at the time.

Name any fight against a top 10 opponent that was controversial where he lost. Bisping deserves all the hate he gets, as does Diaz. Sonnen is atleast funny in she shit he says, Bisping just straight up tries to be a dick. I hate Sonnen above all others, I also hate Bisping, i greatly dislike Frank Mir, and I dislike Nick Diaz. The hatred is well spread.

It's not like he hasn't had his shot at higher tier competition. They had a top prospect match at 205 between him and Evans, he lost and moved down. He coached TUF against Hendo for a title shot, one of the biggest highlight reel KO's ever. He lost to Wanderlei, which imo was an attempt to build up Bisping's resume with a safe name that backfired. Then he got a shot at Sonnen and lost.

He's a pretty good fighter, but his opinion of himself and how vocal he is about it are way out of line for how good he actually is. Of course people are going to hate him. At least Diaz and Sonnen back it up for the most part.

I'm not sure if Bisping is delusional or if that Hendo's KO punch hurt him that badly that he doesn't even realize when he loses anymore.

[Cat--Smasher]

Wait, you guys didnt get enough...

[Badluck33]

UFC wants to put a belt around Bisping so bad.

[scottsec]

I wish Bisping would get his shot at Anderson.....lol.... just so i could watch him get COMPLETELY owned.....
