I will say, if they can entice Anderson out of this hard on he has for fighting GSP with a big pay day against Bisping in England, I am ALL for it.

It's hard to put a big pay day in England due to time difference it kills PPV sales.

It's like they used the same machine to make both Bisping & Sonnen. They made Sonnen first, and used a solution of douche, guts, delusion, & humor. When they got ready to make Bisping they realized they were low on humor, but had a surplus of delusion, and douche. They just went with it, and the rest is history.

Once Rich Franklin regains full mental capacity from his KO/faceplant, he would agree with Bisping. Vitor clips him in the back of the head and finishes him a back of the head strike.

Funny how quickly people overlook valid points because someone they don't like (Bisping,Dana White, etc.) make it.

Remember Bisping isn't a choir boy either he's did his share of dirty stunts.
Thats more of why I would pick on Bisping for saying it.

I think a lot of bisping's complaints get swept to the side, because there's so much complaining from him. Kind of like the boy who cried wolf. When mike has an actual complaint, people tend to brush it aside, because his mouth never stops moving, and it gets lost in the shuffle. If Franklin had come out and complained about it, I think its a whole different story.

I'll bet Bisping has a room full of Bisping Fat Heads that just make him feel better when he's having a bad day.

I don't see it going to Belfort if he wins as it is still a little too close to his last match with Silva but it would put him much closer in line. It would be the path of least internet bitching if Bisping loses because the winner of Boetsch/Wiedman would have the best claim to the title shot.

If Bisping wins, however, then you've got a cloudy situation. You aren't going to have Bisping vs Boetsch/Wiedman as that pushes the title shot back to somewhere in August/September with how early the UFC announces title fights. The other guy is going to be in limbo as there won't be another fighter close enough to a title shot to give it to him (ie. if Bisping gets the shot and Wiedman loses, the guy who beats him wouldn't get the title shot). My gut tells me that if Bisping wins, they will give him the title shot. I acknowledge it sucks for Wiedman but he can only be looked over so many times.

We have to wait until January for this whole situation to sort itself out anyways, as anything can happen in a fight.

I dont see anyway that Carlos Condit is going to out wrestler and beat GSP. So after that we will see GSP vs Silva sometime next year. I would say probably around May sometime. After that fight you probably have a 3-4 month layoff before Silva defends his title. So I think your gonna to see the winner of Bisping vs Belfort fight the winner of Boetsch vs Wiedman. If Anderson were to beat GSP he may end up fighting Bones after that so who knows.
