He is without a doubt a top level fighter. When was he mouthing off? Pretty sure it was Vitor calling him a hooligan and shoving his fist into his face.

For me, the fact that he doesn't have an answer for the top level fighters like Belfort, Henderson & Sonnen means he isn't quite top level. His biggest issue for me is that he is good in some areas but he is a master of none of them. Back to the drawing board.

Yeah this was Bisping's chance to break out of the "good" fighter mold and into the top crust. He is pretty much a gatekeeper for title shots now. Will be interesting to see if he can or wants to try to cut down to 170.

No chance it's more likely he goes up to 205lb. I'm sure he will stay at middleweight though.
