Rivera is out of his league. His peak fight was against Quarry but I don't think he can replicate it against Bisping who is looking for a decent run now after putting together back to back wins.

Prediction: correct Bisping   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

Rivera is a solid fighter for Bisping. He is actually on a pretty good run right now winning his last 3 fights.  Bisping has won his last 2 fights and I believe both Akiyama and Miller are better than Rivera. But they are both stylistically entirely different.  Bisping will hold his own standing and is more well rounded than Rivera and will take the win.

Yeah he's pretty underrated also. I think he should have a title shot a while ago, considering his only losses are to Evans, W.silva, and Henderson.

It seems like I'm one of the few who enjoys watching Bisping fight. I also don't dislike him as a human being either. I'm usually the only one rooting for him when I watch his fights with friends/relatives.

Bisping has very good footwork and movement that will, along with a couple takedowns, sway the judges in his favor for this one. I also his GnP to be sharp and effective as always.

Prediction: correct Bisping   wrong Decision  

Guys, Bisping can't finish a fight. He won't tko Rivera. If he wins it will be by running away while landing jabs here and there. Rivera has power, and can hit Bisping, but more likely than not, Bisping will run away for 3 rounds and win the decision. I think I might pick Rivera though, just for the chance of a power punch landing, although I think he will probably end up losing a decision.

Might be wishful thinking, but I think Riveria is going to knock the Count's head off.

Prediction: correct Bisping   wrong Decision  

Rivera is one of the toughest dudes in MMA. I dislike Bisping more than most people in the UFC, but, I do respect how much his game has developed. The count will be too quick getting in and out, landing small shots en route to a clear cut decision victory. Just watch out for that big right hand of Rivera, he should be ok.

Prediction: correct Bisping   wrong Decision  

Not a big fan of Bisping or his style, but there's no denying that he's a top 10 middleweight and a tough test for just about any fighter in the division.  I think he would be wise to use his striking to set up takedowns considering how heavy Jorge's hands can be.  One punch could put Bisping to sleep.  Jorge needs to keep this fight standing and needs to try to land some power shots because he will not outpoint Bisping.

I think Bisping takes a unanimous decision in a fight that's his to lose.
