Prediction: correct Bisping   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

And you say that because? When have you ever seen Anderson tired?  He just came out of a 5 rounder with Nick Diaz, a cardio taxing affair and looked fresh all through. I know PED, etc, but since we haven't seen how Anderson looks off the juice yet and he's never had any cardio issues I'm going to assume his gas tank is solid until proven otherwise. As for his chin (which you decided is gone because of one fight vs. a hard hitter like The Chris), I don't see that being an issue against Bisping. Not exactly Roy Nelson, if you get my drift. Bisping's volume isn't a great formula for beating Anderson and Bisping's been looking more hittable lately.

(I actually specified that I think his chin is gone because of BOTH fights with Chris. Andy basically got KO'd in the clinch in the second fight with a plain right hand.)

Bisping has enough power and can put enough pressure on Anderson to shut him down offensively. IMO.

Not saying Bisping doesn't have a chance, but if you're banking on Anderson not having enough in the gas tank or his chin giving in, I think you're barking up the wrong tree since both Anderson's history and Bisping's style say the complete opposite.

Since history and styles have anything to do with the outcomes of future fights. Remember the historic run Aldo was on, and how his leg kick was going to shut Conor down? Yeah, that didn't happen. I'm picking Bisping, because I've seen with my own two eyes how much Anderson has slowed down, and how far his chin has deteriorated since his prime. Which, PEDs play a part in. The last time he fought, he fought basically a career WW, got clowned during the fight, and couldn't land anything all that significant.

Awesome. Good to see there's been no fall off in the witty banter department here at Tapology. Anyway, back to you talking about your ass and other men, and for the rest of the adults to go back to actually talking about this fight.

This is a hard pick !  Can Bisping achieve his career defining win ? Arena sold out weeks ago !

Prediction: wrong Silva   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

I like Bisping. I'm rooting for him, but I can't bring myself to seriously think he has much of a chance here. 

It wasn't that long ago that the idea that Bisping could beat Anderson was laughable.

I know Anderson is 40 now.  He got smoked by Weidman and had that failed drug test. I just don't see that as enough reason to think the gap between these two has closed that much. 

Bisping isn't that much younger than Anderson really. Their fight mileage is actually pretty comparable. 

If you want to point to Anderson's fights with Weidman and Diaz as a sign of his decline, I agree that he's declined a bit, but how would Bisping fair against Weidman or even Diaz? I'm guessing not any better than Silva. Probably worse.

I do hope Bisping proves me wrong, but I think Anderson is going to lay him out.

Bisping looks really sharp this week ... sharper than he has, maybe ever. 

That said, Anderson is top 3 all-time. We shall see.

Bisping's big problem here is the speed disadvantage. Besides that, Michael hasn't looked good lately, even in victory. His last great performance was against an aging Cung Le.

i don't trust that bisping is going to actually stand and trade, i think he'll start shooting pretty early in the fight, but that anderson will be able to sprawl, take his back, and pound him out ala rumble-bader.

Is the fight available via replay on fight pass? I did not get a chance to watch it yet.
