i dont know how bisping wins that fight in all honesty. i won't knock his kickboxing but belcher is downright ruthless on the feet & we all saw that he can do his thing on the ground after he dismantled toquinio

Bisping will be on his bike. If Belcher doesn't get him early he won't at all I don't think. Bisping's gas tank will save him here

This would definitely strengthen any PPV. Make it happen Joe.
I think Belcher is hitting his stride and will be tough for anyone to beat.

I definitely like belcher better.... but the most likely outcome is bisping by UD. His stick and move style makes him hard to hit and he is decently accurate as well. Belcher is a solid kickboxer, so it will be an interesting matchup.
I favor bisping, but not by that much. Id love see him get KTFO again Quote:

Bisping seems to wilt when he takes a big shot, but he is very hard to hit. Belcher is much more hittable than Bisping is. Although he offers a lot more firepower in his game.
Its not like bisping is going out there to try and knock him out, he will make a specific gameplan to get the UD.

Its not like bisping is going out there to try and knock him out, he will make a specific gameplan to get the UD. | Nice breakdown, but I see it a little differently. Akiyama was a bit of an unknown going into the fight with Belcher, and he won a controversial decision based on his ability to absorb damage and fire back. He was definitely worse for wear, but he landed more often so they gave him the nod.
Bisping's stick and move strategy is the perfect counter for Akiyama's style of always coming forward and countering, since Bisping got out of the way before the counters could come.
I think Belcher has similar striking skills, but more power and a more well-rounded kick boxing game. Last time we saw a match up like this was Cerrone/Diaz, and the boxer won, but I think Diaz is a much better boxer than Bisping. I think Belcher wins a UD, but should be a barn burner.
The wild card in the fight would be who mixes in their grappling better. Bisping has pretty good takedowns, and Belcher is very well-rounded in general.

Dunno why people are giving Bisping the advantage in striking?? Belcher is better at everything. Except maybe cardio. In any case its gonna be a great fight.

I think hes calling him out to avoid Vitor, I dont think they match bisping with belcher or vitor, i think they match Belcher and vitor and put stann and bisping together. hich makes more sense in a way. What about Franklin?? Who besides me would love to watch Franklin and Bisping fight?
