I dislike it when someone loses to Anderson and people claim he was 'exposed', as if that person isn't still a tremendous fighter. Vitor hardly had his arse handed to him, and I think we need learn that losing to Anderson or GSP is less a sign of one's being over-rated, and more so a sign of just how unbelievable Silva and St. Pierre are as mixed martial artists. Vitor is a clear top five MW... there's simply no debating that point... it's simply that Anderson Silva is on another level altogether, and that includes the MW division in its entirety. The words 'exposed' and 'overrated' are tremendously disrespectful to legitimately talented fighters, and if Anderson fans actually stopped to think about it, disrespectful to Anderson as well. They claim the man is P4P the best fighter on the planet, yet it always seems to be that his opponents were over-rated or easily exposed. Which makes it sound as though he isn't fighting the best. Which in turn wouldn't make him all that worthy of the praise he gets. Food for thought.
Vitor deserves respect. Let's not sully him with such general and ill-though-out statements. I also think it fairly obvious he's going to smash Bisping, who I am consistently impressed with, but do not see as a top five MW in any way, shape, or form.
Wanderlei isint going to be happy. Dana sounds like he wants Okami to have another fight even though he acknowledged that Okami deserves a Title Shot. So im guessing Wanderlei vs Okami is in the works?
lol everyone say shit like this all the time before a Bisping fight, when he fought Akiyama he stood not chance, many people said before the Rivera that Bisping would get KTFO like fat chance that was ever going to happen illegal knee or not Bisping is way better than Rivera, you keep talking sh1t with all the other haters there are no shortage of you all.
Me I will just keep laughing as he works his way though the division and laughing at all the excuses you guys fall to when he wins.
Anyway end of rant, I think this is a really good stylistic match up for Bisping, I was quite worried that he may have to face Okami which stylistically I don;t think would of suited Bisping as good, although I think he could still beat Okami, but if Bisping is one win away from a title fight then this is a great opportunity.
and this doesnt mean the vitor vs wandy fight is off, vitor has said he wants to fight again before UFC in rio, so i bet he just wants to KO bisping and when UFC gets to rio, he will KO wandy...even though i hope wandy wrecks him
So everyone says Bisping only beats the cans but when he goes on a win streak and gets the opportunity to fight a better guy the same people complain about it being a step down for the opposition... cool beans.
I'm satisfied with this. Don't suspend him or fine him. Just put him in there with a guy who made his name from taking guys heads off. I think Vitor is plenty capable of catching Bisping and giving us what we wanna see.
Bisping has the nicer, more fluent footwork of the two IMO, but it's not going to matter bc the differential in power between the two fighters is insurmountable for Bisping.
