I certainly agree that Bisping should consider dropping down if he does lose this fight. I also dont think that Bisping has a complete advantage standing up. Evans has been able to stand with Ortiz, plus defeat Lambert and Bonnar, all of whom love to bang it out. And it has the potential of being a good battle. In retrospect, for a card that is coming back to NJ for the first time in 2 years, it seems to lack the star-power it could potentially have. Evans, Alexander, Bisping, Parisyan, Spencer Fisher and even Herman have an up-and-coming appeal. But I wish it had another big fight on the card

Bisping cant stand a chance in this fight…hes gonna wind up like sean salmon on the ground and lights out…for example who has Bisping fought that he totally dominated besides elvis???? and hes not a fighter hes a walk over, look how easy rashad made it look when he fought Brad Imes and that was at heavy weight bisping cant say that hes done that….my prediction evans over bisping round one KO 3 minutes in

If Bisping loses or the fight ends in draw he should consider dropping to middleweight. with his size it will be tough to become and beat the elite in the light heavyweaght. Better matchups would come against top middleweight rather than like of Liddell, Rampage, Henderson, etc

Also on the card Houston “The Assassin” Alexander (8-1) faces Thiago Silva (11-0).
That match should be great

This has the potential for being a decent fight. I would love to see Rashad KO Bisping as he is booed in NJ. Both are well rounded. We’ll see if Evans can pull it off. I hope they have another headline fight.

this will be a very close fight but my early guess is that bisping will win, i think we will see a much better bisping because everyone think he should of lost his last fight that will push him to train harder. both fighters have a good all around game. i give rashad a slight adventage in the stand up and bisping a slight adventage in the ground game

Personally, I like this fight better than either Bisbing/Hammil 2 or Evans/Ortiz 2. I think this is a way better match up for Bisbing, and a way better match for Rashad. It also opens the door for Tito and Wanderlei 2. If Tito doesn’t come into this one at a 100% (which he hasn’t been in years do to injurys), he’s in big, big trouble. But on the other hand, a win over Silva would spark Tito’s carrier back into a blaze. Good stuff, thanks Kris.

I am looking forward to this fight. I don’t understand how Bisping was supposed to fight Hamill and now he is getting a much tougher fight in Evans. I like Bisping, but I think Bisping is in some trouble here. Evans will be the favorite in this fight and should win this fight.
