are you kidding me?? Bisping is an average fighter who has not had any fights against anyone remotely close to being good. This guy is going to get the shit kicked out of him real soon.
I think he's better than average and can compete with most of the LH strikers except those at the top. He eventually will lose to a good grappler or via submission so he still has a lot to work on.
Is he in the same class as Chuck or Rampage or even Tito....no, of course not. But he's easily in the same class as Forrest Griffin, and Griffen gave Tito all he could handle.
That was an exciting fight, what more can you ask for, he was relentless with the GNP and never stopped throwing blows. I'll watch that type of fight any day over a Sanchez/Koscheck or even that borefest Arlovsky/Werdum. Bisping wants to fight and knock people out, others just want to win on the judges scorecard.
