Prediction: correct Kennedy   correct Decision  

I have said it before and I will say it again. Bisping is a top five gatekeeper he is better than almost everyone in his decision except the contender and the champ. I think Kennedy is going to walk through that gate.

No one has ever really been able to hold down Bisping.  Even Chael and Rashad barely eeked out questionable wins with their wrestling.  I don't see Kennedy pulling it off.

Prediction: wrong Bisping   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

Bisping arguably beat Rashad Evans and Chael Sonnen. Neither guy could hold them down.. so Kennedy won't. Both of those 2 are stronger than Kennedy, not to mention much better wrestlers.

Prediction: wrong Bisping   wrong Decision  

Bisping's striking is overrated by some of his fans, but his overall game is criminally underrated by a lot of U.S. fans IMO. 

Big fan of him. Scored the Sonnen fight for him and saw the Evans fight as basically anyone's, although I think both Bisping and Rashad were shells of what they are now. 

He should put a beating on Kennedy, who will hang tough for a couple rounds before either succumbing to strikes or wilting later in the fight. Five rounds in music to Bisping's ears.

I like Skelli's analysis of Bisping. Because he does have holes in his striking, namely his defense. But his ground game and counterwrestling are way better than most give him credit for. That's why I think he takes this.

Not a Bisping supporter, but I think the MW division is better off with a relevant Michael Bisping.

Prediction: wrong Bisping   wrong Decision  

I think Kennedy is underrated and he has the cardio to go at Bispings pace for 25 minutes....I still remember Kennedy vs Jacare, that was anyones fight but I did give the slight nod to Jacare. Anyone who can scramble with Jacare over.5 rounds and stifle Roger Gracie on the.mat for 15 minutes along with Kennedy's takedown game....hes a dangerous grappler with the.build and ethics of one mean workhorse. Coming off such a huge KO over Natal and this being the biggest fight of Kennedy's career yet far from a squash match he can certainly.rise to the occasion. People probably have a warped perception since he lost to Rockhold and Jacare.but either also.beats.Bisping in my opinion. Remember.when.Mayhem took Bisping down?

It's a good fight, really don't like either.guy but even moreso dislike Kennedy. I say an unimpressive decision for Bisping in a hardfought close decision. 48-47

Kennedy is one of the dark horses of the MW division imo. I could see him climbing into the top 5 for sure.
