TUFF 14 Final

[Mattyhitman]

I think Silva and Sonnen would smoke him, maybe Belfort as well. We'll see how Belfort does against Munoz.

Agreed with this, Silva destroys Bisping, and Chael does his usual boring wrestling antics with G&P.
As for Belfort and Munoz, whens that happening like? Last I read Sonnen was facing Munoz on the Fox2 card

If you think ground and pound is boring you need to find a new sport.

Bisping is fighting Damien Mia on the UFC on Fox 2 card. Step back for Bisping in my opinion.

Bisping is fighting Damien Mia on the UFC on Fox 2 card. Step back for Bisping in my opinion.

A step back? Maia will be the highest ranked opponent he's fought since Hendo, and he will be Bisping's first opponent who is both active and coming off a win since Kang!

Bisping's had an easy run up to this point, but if he fancies himself a top contender he needs to beat at least two top MWs. Chael, Munoz, Okami, Maia, Belfort or Stann.

Bisping has zero wins over ranked opponents, and he's only fought one at MW (Hendo). He's looked decent beating subpar competition, that does not make him ready for a title shot.

Maia who lost to Munoz comes of one win over a usless Santiago and he is a rank above Bisping? No way does he deserve to befighting for no.1 contender spot. Bisping is ranked at 10 with Maia at 15. So no he isnt the highest ranked fighter he has fought.

Where are you seeing Maia at 15? Everywhere I've looked, he's in the 6-8 range with Bisping between 8-10. The last ranked fighter Bisping fought was Hendo, so Maia is the highest ranked opponent he's fought since. In fact, he'll be the only other ranked fighter Bisping's ever fought at MW. The idea that he's in line for a title shot right now is asinine.

I think these are the official rankings here? Have him at 6 like you say.

Is it just me or this possibly the weakest division in the UFC? Take away Silva and Sonnen and you aren't left with much at all.

He has beat everyone put in his way in his last 4 thats usually how many it takes for a shot. I suppose Munoz is more diserving? He has fought top fighters right? Leben who Bisping beat? Or his debatable win over Maia? He's never been outclassed in a fight bar Hendo he is always competative he deserves a shot more than Munoz and Maia!

Ha


Just find Sonnens style somewhat predictable and boring. Others do it with more flair.

I'll watch, only to see Sonnens ass get beat. To be fair I can see Chael winning, but Munoz will be the best wrestler he's faced in a long time, so it will be a good match-up.


As for Bisping, this is a good fight for him imo, gotta say I agree with Captain America, Bisping has had it easy so far, he needs to fight a ranked MW to stake a shot at the title, and Maia is a step in the right direction.

[VictorCharlie]

Maia is a good step for him. I haven't seen anything yet from Bisping to show that he is a legit title contender yet. He needs to beat Maia convincingly and then would still need another quality win before having a legit claim to a title shot.

Agreed, I can see Maia taking this to the ground, Bisping is by far the better striker, albeit Maia's has improved in recent fights.
Maia hasnt submitted an opponent in quite some time, he's due one for me.

It was an amazing night of fights. Diego is my favorite Tuf winner since Forrest!
