I think Vitor is going to maul him but if Bisping does win then I have no problem with him getting a shot. It's been talked about forever.

I also hate the idea of Bisping getting a title shot. Firstly, he has absolutely no chance against Silva. The champ would walk right through him. Who cares to see a fight like that? Secondly, who decided that Bisping is the #1 contender and why? There are several fighters who I believe are far better and more deserving. I don't get what the bigwigs see in Bisping that make them feel he deserves a shot.

I still think Bisping beat Sonnen 2 rounds to 1.

xRoxaz

he did but Sonnens a can anyways and he wasnt going to lose by decision that night.

Im on another level now

And there is the fact - you believe there are several fighters you believe more deserving than Bisping for a title shot.

Care to say who and why are more deserving than Mike, and why?

Bisping has done everything for the UFC that he has been asked, TUF coach twice... has never convincingly been beat (other than hendo), he is a massive draw.

Name me one person in the MW division that has earned their shot more... and give me the reasons.

TheLyotoLegion

Weidman and Boetsch should both get a title shot ahead of him. Munoz, Maia and Okami are all better wins than Stann who is Bisping's best win.

Now if he beats Vitor he'd be just as deserving but I don't think he's gonna beat Vitor, of course that doesn't really matter if the UFC can make money off Silva/Bisping and they make think they can, they'll book it.

I totally agree with your views on Bisping. He is so average and not deserving of a title shot. Weidman has been exponentially more impressive and has far more talent/skill. Weidman has beat better, tougher fighters than Bisping. I hope Victor stomps a hole in Bisping's a**!

TheLyotoLegion

I don't think he's average, he's clearly a top ten guy but I had him losing 30-27 to Sonnen and I thought Wanderlei beat him too. I have no clue why people believe him and Anderson is a good fight though, I have no doubt Silva/Bisping would look exactly like Silva/Bonnar.

Average may not be the best word to use. He has some talent but he is certainly no where near exceptional or extraordinary. He has more of his mean-spirited, cocky attitude than he has talent. His demeanor is near impossible to like. You're absolutely right about him fighting Silva. Anderson would walk right through him. Who wants to watch a fight like that? Wonder if Bisping is delusional enough to think he could hang with Silva, much less actually beat him?!

I don't think it would be competitive at all but there's not many other people deserving of a shot right now at MW.
