I don't think Stann is a top tier mw at least not yet. He hasn't beaten anyone yet to obtain that kind of status. Beating Bisping will for sure push him to the fringe of top tier. If Bisping wins it'll be a good win for him but it won't validate him or push him to a title shot.

As an Aussie I can't bring myself to pick Bisping.

Nothing would make me happier than to see him get KO'd again.

Wanting to see Bisping knocked out due to you being Australian is the confusing thing to me.

Oh please Aussies and Brits hating each other in sports is nothing new.

We've been at each others throats for over a century for one reason or another but sport? That's when the blood spills.

I really like both guys, but Bisping's technical standup is just too good for Stann's power-punching.  All Stann needs to do though is land one good punch, but usually when it's technical vs power, technical wins about 4/5 times.

Bisping can always take this to the ground, like he did against Jorge Rivera and Wanderlei Silva.

Prediction: correct Bisping   correct Decision  

Think about this: If Stann does lose to Bisping, who does Greg Jackson have in the way of a UFC contender at 185?  Stann is pretty much relegated to gatekeeper status, probably permanently, with a loss to Bisping.

And think about this: What if Rashad does move down to 185 - the possibility of which has greatly increased now that he won't be rematching Lyoto Machida anytime soon (Machida having decided to wait for the next title shot, quite possibly on the Dec. 29 Las Vegas card) - and he finds that his cardio has suffered on account of the weight drop?  Does Rashad then try to compensate for that by moving to a high-altitude camp? 

And Albuquerque is like at 5,000 feet, you know.

Bisping should win via jab and circle but he also has decent takedowns

Bisping is far more than a gatekeeper. He's the next Middleweight champion.
