Prediction: wrong Belcher   wrong Decision  

I think Belcher is better everywhere in this fight. As long as Bisping doesn't just hold him down the entire time I think Belcher gets the upset.

You just said Belcher is better everywhere while simultaneously saying that Bisping has better wrestling.

I think it's even standing but if Bisping gets it to the ground Belcher is very limited. I know he beat Paul Harris on the ground but all he had to worry about was the leg locks.

I really cant decide on this fight. I think Belcher edges the overall striking, Bisping gets the wrestling advantage and I think their Jits games are fairly equal.

I don´t  know why maybe I am biased because I don´t like Bisping but I can´t stop thinking he is overrated, I know he is a good athlete and fighter but I just don´t see him as good as most people do, anyway I think Belcher can win this as long as he don´t come out like he did against Okami, I´m tgoing to take a leap and pick him, thinking that he will come out a little pissed and more determined to win than he was against Okami

@jaffa that's by no means what I said. What I was getting at is Belcher's biggest weakness has been when guys have taken him down and held him there I.e the second Okami fight.
Bisping's wrestling isn't that good nor is Belchers, that's just a wash. But if Bisping comes in with the gameplan of taking Belcher down and grinding on him and executes it well he would be able to win. Belcher has better striking, better overall grappling and better jitz thus making him better everywhere.

Bisping's wrestling isn't that good? Do tell, how did he consistently stop TD attempts from Chael Sonnen who I'm quite certain you described as being the 2nd best MMA wrestler behind GSP? Bisping is an incredibly good wrestler both offensively and defensively given the fact that he's English and he started off as a kickboxer.

So either you're throwing out one seriously dumb opinion about Bisping's wrestling ability or your highly regarded Chael Sonnen really isn't that good of a wrestler...

Live2, true dat but seeing Bisping go derp derp is generally great. Hope Belcher stomps Bisping until he looks like his Cash tat...

Bj Penn had incredible takedown defense. Does that make him a great wrestler?
Ya, didn't think so.

Yeah no, BJ had great takedown's too. him, Jacare and Maia are easily the best Jui-Jitsu guys with wrestling to back it up.
