Personally i don't dislike Bisping i think he is a very good and very under-rated fighter.
With that being said The American Gangster Chael P. Sonnen is going to absolutely maul him.

I will go with Chael but this one is going to be one boring match. Well the **** talk will help but none of them is very entertaining fight/style wise.

Chael Sonnen likes Bisping, there will not be trash talking.

Chael doesnt lay and pray. He is one of the few wrestlers that beat you up from the top and make you work.

from the sounds of that article Chael won't be doing much trash talking at all leading up to this. However I can see him getting involved if Bisping starts to run his mouth, I can't see Chael being quiet then.

It seems Chael is only into talking **** about Anderson Silva nowadays, which is fine with me. He's one of the few guys who isn't trashing Bisping. And we've seen how good Bisping has fought in his last two fights.... which happened to be two guys who really pissed him off.

Now if Chael did the same i think he's still beat Bisping regardless, but Chaels a smart dude. He gets in people heads in weird ways, much like he did Anderson, perhaps not trash talking Bisping is his way of getting to Bisping.

I'll probably be one of the few actually rooting for Bisping, but if I'm looking at the matchup honestly, I don't think Bisping stands a snowballs chance in hell against Sonnen.

I think Bisping is pretty overated myself. He is the most recognizable fighter from England though so the UFC does try to hand feed him wins and even then he screws that up sometimes. Chael imo is the undisputed 2nd best 185er in the world and he will make quick and easy work of Bisping. Probably even easier then he beat Stann.

@Nik I know you are a Chael fan but he is a grinder. He stays active so they don't stand him up but it's not really ground and pound. More like ground and pat. Show me one fight where he beat someone enough to warrant a TKO. None in a long time.

Prediction: wrong Bisping   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

You say they hand feed Bisping wins as though he hasnt faced and beaten anyone worth a ****. He has beaten some top notch guys! And his only 3 losses are to great fighters. He went 15 minutes with one of the most dangerous strikers in the division Wanderlei Silva and he also went 15 minutes with one of the most well rounded LHWs in the UFC Rashad Evans. He has been knocked out once by arguably the hardest puncher to fight in the MW division. Bisping has a huge chance against Sonnen.

Prediction: correct Sonnen   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Bisping's most impressive fight was that Rashad fight. Although that was a long time ago and Rashad would wreck Bisping now. 185 is not a deep division at all and people talk like Bisping is so great. He's barely a top 10 guy in a weak weight class. Chael will prove on the 28th that Bisping has no business being in the octagon with him. Beating Santiago and Miller is one thing but I think Sonnen is just on a whole other level.

People underrate the pace Bisping fights at A LOT. Chael still definitely has this fight but never rule bisping out, he's a worse stylistic matchup for sonnen cos he wudda beaten munoz in all areas IMO
That comment about "screwing up hand fed wins" was a bit rash, Wanderlei (dodgily in some peoples opinion) Hendo and rashad? look where rashad and hendo are now tho, both in title contension.
In my head Chael by UD
In my heart Bisping by 3rd round tko (put a beating on in the second round :p)

Mike mike mike. His biggest win is over Chris Leben; a man who KO'd Silva in seconds; SIlva beat Bisping.  Dan Hardy stood with GSP for 25 minutes, does that make him great? I dont think he has a huge chance. The only way to beat sonnen is by being a good submission fighter... the last time Bisping subbed someone was 7 years ago, against some no name.
