well chaels gonna be racist and make fun of the brits while bisping makes fun of his drug test and the money thing. however when it comes fight time, im sure chael will just wrestle bisping down for 3 rounds.

Britain is not a race, its a country. But I agree, Sonnen would outwrestle Bisping

Is Sonnen, not suspended and facing charges for fraud? This would probably be a hard fight to make for the forseeable future, That said it would be interesting, both are top mw's. I rather see a Bisping vs Okami or Wanderlei 2

I was talking about the fight not the **** out of the cage.  if it gets put together it gets put together. i think this would be an even match up for the two fighters. and if it does happen i agree that sonnen would put it to bisping with his wrestling.

@Mike as long as you recognize that the Sonnen suspension situation might keep him out of action for a while.

If you put that aside and just break down a fight between these two guys, I think it's Sonnen all the way. Sonnen has shown that he can literally grind out anyone in the division. Okami, Marquardt, and even Anderson Silva for 4 rounds. I don't think Bisping brings anything new to the table as compared to those guys.

Unless of course Sonnen comes back and has lost a step.  Sonnen got caught for having elevated levels of testosterone. Did that or anything else he took enhance his performance?  I have no idea.  But I think it's fair to bring it up when a fighter tests positive.

im guessing this would be a fight after the silva superfight.  it would be a good match up another thought would be to resign henderson if they can get him back he would be a good fighter to toss into the mix.

@Mike - I don't think Henderson's interested in the UFC or the middleweight division anymore.

Also it's gonna be a while until we see Sonnen back fighting so it's tough to tell where Bisping will even be in the rankings when Sonnen gets back.  I think if Vitor is really fighting Bisping, then Bisping's about to knocked out of the top 10.  In that case I'd rather see Sonnen come back fighting someone who's higher up on the ladder like Vitor.

If by the freak chance this fight happens, I say Sonnen takes it by unanimous decision.

Love the match up, especially what happened after Bisping vs. Rivera. If Bisping can't handle Rivera's trash talk him, Sonnen is gonna rile him up. Crossing the line for Sonnen is an understatement.

Sonnen would embarrass Bisping both in and out of the cage; true story....

Sonnen would win this fight pretty easily I think...He has solid boxing and could stand with Bisping, but Bisping probably out points him standing using kick boxing vs the boxer...Chael has a huge advantage on the ground and would take him down at will and hold him there as long as he wants to
