I have to agree as well. I think it will go to decision and Bisping will win. He is so fast at 185 and elusive. He’s to smart to stand and trade with Hendo and will dance the night away while poking Hendo with jabs backpeddaling. Thats not enough to finish Hendo, but its enough to win a clearcut decisiion. Hendo is great on the ground, but I don’t see it getting there. Bisping and his camp are smart and that will certainly be the game plan because Hendo’s stand-up is going for the kill with his looping punches, he is so far from a technical striker and thats exactly what Bisping is. And Bisping is way faster and has a great sprawl.

Cantrim, that’s the way i see it, in addition I think if Bisping gets taken down he’ll scramble out and hendo will get very tired from that exchange, Bispings youth & technical standup will take over. Hendo is 1 of my fav fighters’ but I got 400 on bisping at 3-1.

I don’t hate Bisping like I used to, but hate his fighting style of the backpedal jab that does damage at all yet still scores points.

Hammil did not have to hard of a time taking Bisping down(keeping down was another story) so what makes you think that Hendo(a much stronger and better wrestler)won’t be able to take Bisping to the ground? I do believe that Bisping is going to try a 15 minute jab and run marathon to victory, but I do not believe he will be successful. I think Hendo will catch him at somepoint and will have Bisping fighting off of his back.

Secondly, I do not know how anybody can be a true Bisping fan. His only impressive fights are against the nobodies of the UFC (eric Shaeffer-which I think got called early, eric had his legs for a take down and they called for some back fists to the top of the head,ummm shitty)Elvis Charles MCcrappy! Anyone with any sort of skill level he has looked like shit against Hammil, Leben, and Rashad. He is going to get eaten alive if they put him in the ring with Silva. Bettter Yet lets see him fight the new animal that is Nate MArquardt. I would love nothing more than to see him drag Bisping through the mud and back while knocking him off of his arrogant(undeserved arrogance at that considering he has beaten nobodies)high horse. I understand having to be confident to be a fighter, but cocky arrogance is so much different, classless at times!

Maybe they should ask that question to some fighters that arent AMERICAN WRESTLERS!

I love Bisping in this fight!

Who’d Wand pick? I got no sound

I really hope that Bisping wins this one, i honestly think most people hate on him coz of his attitude rather than his skills. Everyone talks bout the Leben fight like he ran Tito style to get away, in the fight i saw he just picked him apart with clean strikes, nothing wrong with that in my book. Does anyone remember the Hendo – Palhares fight? fair enuf palhares started just falling down but Hendo’s striking didnt look that great there to me.

Bisping finnishes it round 3!!!!

Bisping will not be the first guy EVER to finish Hendo.

wandy basically said its 50/50

 
Comment by RoB
2009-07-02 10:11:29

yea he did, the thing that bothers me is that this is a 3-rounder it should’ve been a 5-rounder since the winner of this fight is most likely gonna fight for the MW title…

No Dave coz Anderson already finnished him in there fight?

He was finished by the Noguiera brothers too.

 
Comment by ItsNormlToSmokePot
2009-07-02 14:17:18

He was submitted in those fights, he has never been Tko’d.
Does anyone think bisbing is gonna sub hendo?? I dont think so, bisbing can only win a decision in this fight.

 
Comment by naturalshadow
2009-07-02 14:28:53

I think he meant by strikes. He has never been ko’d, and Bisping doesn’t have the power to be the first. A sub is unlikely as well. Look at the names of those guys: Silva, Nog. Bisping isn’t exactly on that level of BJJ. If Bisping wins, it will be by decision.

I’d bet Bisping too Roy, for a decision win. He’ll use his stick and move, come in with a few knees, stick and move some more game plan for the win! But if he gets caught it could be lights out!

i could see that happening, but i see dan winning more than i see bisping running the whole fight.i will take a bet with either of you for fun.

Cote wants Bisping, that is his dream fight right now…I would love to see that fight. Cote fast KO power vs Bisping pitty pat point jabs….Would make a great stand up Fight…That is who Bisping should get before they feed him to Anderson!

Didn’t anyone else react on sean sherks voice and attitude? wtf was that? seemed like he tried real hard to sound cool or something, but it was ridiculous with that wheezing voice… You watched to many movies Sean!

Bisping vs Cote would be a damn good prospect one day.
Bisping will win this Hendo fight though so I dont see it happening for a while.

Comment by neeko
2009-07-02 17:25:39

Was thinking the exact same thing. Would love to see that fight. Although if Cote can’t get in w/strikes he would easily be submitted.

Did somebody on here actually insinuate that Bisping would finish Henderson? Just don’t see that happening. About the only person Bisping could finish was Elvis. He’ll look for another decision and try to avoid as much damage as possible by really taking no chances. Don’t understand how people get behind a guy who looks for decisions. I hate his style with his paddy cake knees he throws soley for the purpose of scoring points but inflicting very little damage. I will say though that listening to Bisping on the show, I actually like the guy (personality-wise)a lot more. Yes, he can be a dick but he’s a pretty straight shooter and aside from the screw up with the one fighter was a good coach to his team. But yeah, not a fan of his fighting style although he is good at being slippery.
