I wish Biz-bang didn't have his eyesight jacked. I've always thought he deserved to get a title shot against Anderson....although I mostly wanted it to end there with a highlight reel KO but not with malice....How can you not like him now after Hendo handled it in superior fashion :)

I always got love for Michael, however he wasn't the same fighter against Kennedy. Let's hope it's more ring rust than eyesight loss even if he's fighting a senior citizen.....just kidding

It will be a fun fight, but I view this as an attempt to give the Biz his Bang back in a match he can definitely win as long as he "sees" through it....*boom-bap-crash*

Le will fail a drug test after this fight. Guarantee it. I like Cung Le. I have been following him his entire career, well, the MMA portion of it at least. He has never looked as jacked as he does now. He almost looks comically large in comparison to how he looked in the past. Considering he is 42, I seriously doubt that is natural. Unless he's Benjamin ******' Button.

Here are 2 that I found quickly. I know there's more. Now compare that to how he has looked in his recent fights.. or anytime.

Prediction: wrong Le   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

A lot of MMA fighters have to follow a strict diet and avoid heavy workouts so they don't get too big for their weightclass. With Cung Le having movie roles to focus on and fighting so scarcely in MMA he may been heavy lifting and heavy eating. I mean 42 isn't 62 it's.totally possible to be that size at his age.and with his money....Even if he's using steroids you can't guarantee he will be caught....dumb taco.

I have a bad feeling about this one for Bisping. Le's just got so much damn firepower, and Bisping doesn't. Sticking with my OG pick, but Bisping better tighten up that defense.

Damn, I thought Cung looked like he was in better shape since entering the UFC, but damn he looks huge now in comparison. Will be rooting for him, always liked the guy.

Prediction: correct Bisping   wrong Decision  

The reason I think Bisping takes it is because we know what Le is capable of. It might look pretty, but that flashy stuff hasn't worked on the best of the best. 

Also, I was watching the Le/Smith fights, and Shamrock said, "that **** doesn't hurt, it's annoying though" and I kinda believe him because anytime he's fought anyone with a half decent chin, those shots don't debilitate those guys, if you've seen his fights.

I would not be surprised if this fight looks similar to the Brian Stann fight where Bisping actually used his striking to set up takedowns and vice versa.

Le also gasses pretty early because he throws a **** load of kicks and is 68 years old ... I don't think Bisping will get Franklined and from round 2 and on, he's easy money ...

Le has been doing a lot of movies lately, 5 since 2012. He may have made some diet change erghm and may just put on a ton of bulk for them. Either way I love Cung Le and that ass whoopin' he put on Shamrock, and he one punched Franklin, Rich Franklin.

Bisping is predictable. He'll come with his standard 85% euro boxing, 15% kickboxing, and will never wow anyone. AT this point, I would not be surprised or impressed with a bisping win. Le is 43 and barely fights.

I still, however, expect Le to win. Bisping is not an offensive wrestler, and Le is CLEARLY the better striker.

Prediction: wrong Le   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Bisping has the significant size advantage but I really question his eye injury and wondering if he can evade Cung Le for all 5 rounds with one good eye. Dirty boxing and tiring out Le is also a possibility but I like the former possibility
