What's Anderson's weakness? Takedowns and unrelenting offense, the only way to beat Anderson Silva is to take him down, keep him down, and just keep punching him. You can't stand with Anderson because his striking is far and away the best in mixed martial arts history and you can't try to submit him unless you're Paul Harris or Demian Maia.
Bisping wins through picking his shots and using patience to catch the opponent. He's not a wrestler, he's not a strong hitter and his ground game is not to Anderson's level. There is absolutely no way Bisping wins this fight, I'd give Chris Leben a better chance, seriously.

Honestly, I don't think Chael said that out of hate for Silva. I have a feeling he was being really sincere.
I think Michael Bisping really could beat Silva. Especially if the fight took place in the UK.
Downvote this if you agree!

sonnen also said bisping hit him so hard he forgot the round. you really think he means it? i think he is already playing mind games with andy.

I really DO think he meant it. Michael Bisping CAN pack a punch, as much as I hate to say that.
The guy comes in looking better every single fight. Even though I'm not a Bisping fan, I think he really does deserve a shot soon, and I wouldn't be surprised if he won.
Now please lemmings, downvote me because I insinuated that your messiah, Anderson Silva, could lose.

I like you way you think. You notice he didn't bring the fight until the 3rd round?
Maybe your right, he'd give Silva a bit of reassurance (in his mind) that he could beat Sonnen. But really Sonnen went in at 1/2 power so that he could really surprise Silva.
I think it's obvious who I'm taking haha.

Sonnen's just messing with Silva again.
