Silva vs bonnar

[VictorCharlie]

The problem with Bisping is he is just a good fighter but not great. He has all the intangibles, good striking, good wrestling and decent subs but he isn't great in any of those things. He can't out strike the likes of Silva or Henderson or out wrestle guys like Chael although I was impressed with his wrestling in that fight.

I recently read an interview where Silva says he wants GSP coz hes an easier fight than Jones coz he will get hit less and GSP is smaller Jones said he wouldnt fight Silva coz they both have too much to lose in sponsorship....its fucked.

Compared to Anderson yes but you could say the same about the rest of the division.

I don't think he is better than Belfort, Weidman, Rockhold and maybe Belcher. Honestly with Franklin back I probably rank him above Bisping as well. To me Mike falls in the Munoz, Kennedy, Okami group of good solid fighters but not elite. I will say of that group he is the best though.

Rockhold and Weidman both haven't been tested. Belfort is irrelevant right now he wont be fighting Anderson again. Alan Belcher is yet to step up and fight a top caliber fighter the Palhares fight was a good win but not enough to make him 'elite'.

I'd say Rockhold (Jacare and Kennedy) and Weidman (Munoz and Maia) have better signature wins than Bisping (Stann and Miller?). They haven't fought the likes of Rashad, Henderson, Wandy or Sonnen but Mike lost to all of those fighters. Not sure what potential of another fight with Anderson has to do with Belfort being a better fighter than Bisping.
