I’ve been reading this site for years.. since it was ufcdaily.com.. GG tho.. I’ve been watching MMA since UFC 1… but only feel the need to post every now and then.. or when the sites I regularly are banned from work

Just becuase I have 4 or 5 posts dosn’t make that statement any less true.. bisping is completely overhyped and has never fought a fight either:

A) worth his time if he’s actually any good

B) At a high enough level for us to really see if he is any good

He’s untested and the UFC dosn’t seem willing to give him a good test for whatever reason.

You can cry about trolls and blah blah gimme a tissue baby or just suck it up and respond to my post if you care. Communities don’t grow without new people.. and just because new (posters) may not say something you don’t like you cry to the admins and ask them to get moderated out.. real mature bro.. lawls.

**sorry to get off topic away from MMA, I did not take this conversation in this direction**

Kris, can we set up actual registration on this site to keep out the trolls, or at least only let in the truly dedicated?

These drive-by trollings are getting tiresome. You see someone run through, hit 5 or 6 posts, then they never come back. It’s amateur. Have some dedication, people.

Bisbing would get raped by silva.. end of story. No chance raped. Michida would rape him too.. RAPE him.. if we’re talking middleweight.. Henderson would make and him look like a ****.. seriously.. who has the guy beat that’s noteworthy.. really.. ever ?

He’s the biggest overhyped POS geared strictly towards garnering UK interest. Who can blame Dana for doing it tho.. he’s the only decent UKL fighter out there whos name could even be put in a sentence with words like “contender” and “title fight” without making me laugh in the face of whoever says it.

Bisbing is just waiting around until he fights someone hard and gets raped.

rudeone,
I’m with you that Bisping is not as good as some people seem to think he is. My only disagreement with you was over Hammil being the best opponent he’s faced. I personally think that Rashad is better than Hammil. I may even agree with timcat that Leben was the best opponent Bisping has fought, based on how well Leben fought in that fight, and his last few before that versus Rashad’s performance in the Bisping fight, and other fights before that, and Hammil’s performance before and after the Bisping fight.

I think Okami, Marquardt is reasonable. Franklin or Henderson???That’s a tall order for anyone.

The Hamil fight was a joke. I’ll give you that. Bisping even admitted that. But, as we’ve seen in the past fighters have bad fights and still win. I don’t think he get’s enough credit for his fight with Rashad and Leben.

LEBEN is the best he’s faught. I don’t see how that can be argued until Rashad has his title fight. Rashad hasn’t been down that road yet. At this point Leben is the best fighter he’s faught.

Anymore, with the exception of Silve of course. Most of these fights can go either way.

Surfingk5,

It would probably take him beating a Franklin or Henderson for me to truly belive the hype this guy has. In all actuality the one good fighter he faced, he lost to. I just think his smug attitude is getting in my way of liking the guy. Let him beat Okami, Marquardt, or someone good then I will jump on board, till then well I stand by my opinion.

I will say that to be at that level they are all great fighters however bisbing and evans go to decision 9 out of 10 times. Evans did ko liddell but when all you do is stand and bang there is always a chance of being ko’ed. Hamil did however have his way with bisbing and to say bisbing could stand with franklin or henderson is a bold statement. Again not saying he lacks talent but he isn’t ready for henderson/franklin.

rudeone,
re: “the best opp that bisbing has fought was hamil”

So what you’re saying is that Matt Hammil is better than Rashad Evans?

I think Lawler could be good potentially as a coach, but I think he needs to 1. Sign with the UFC first, then 2. have a fight in the UFC against maybe a Nate Quarry or something like that, just to see how he really matches up against UFC fighters.

Too late, I’m all worked up. lol

You still didn’t answer my question. What will it take for him to not be over rated?

The best opp that bisbing has fought was hamil (who we all know won the fight) and franklin made easy work of him. Lawler would be a great idea for coach and I believe he would crush bisbing as well.
