If Chael and Anderson fight again, Chael is gonna get beat up and made a clown of by Anderson.

I think Bisping could beat Anderson. Im a little bit torn between Chael/Anderson II.

@MikeLovesTacos XD You're insane my friend, you're letting your love of Bisping cloud your judgement.

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.

Hey, anything can happen. Matt Serra KO'd GSP after all. That being said, I think Anderson gets serious with Chael and shows him what his knee looks like up close. I generally dislike Bisping, but his last few performances have really impressed me. I figured he'd fade after the Hendo fight, but getting his bell rung might have been good for him.

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!

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 think bisping does hit  kinda hard and has looked better in just about every fight he has taken  but i think sonnen just did enough to win to give silva something to think about. meaning he only performed at the right amount of energy he thought he could get by. it was risky but he got the decision. sonnen is crazy like a fox. if the fight were anywhere else but in brazil i would take him.

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.

Lol @Mike  ahaha dude get real. You insult Sonnen for all the fake and crazy **** he says; now you make a thread because Sonnen complimented Bisping? Bisping has nothing to offer Silva.

I really really hope Anderson comes in with the drive he used to gain the title. If he does, Sonnen's career will be over and we'll never have to hear ******** comments like this again.

Bisping can't outkickbox Silva and Bisping has no offensive ground game. Bisping has relatively no chance, but could perform better than most of Silva's opponents during a title shot.

Sonnen's just messing with Silva again.

Anderson Silva will fall victim to the UFC: Undisputed curse, and lose his belt(its happened before). Think about the last two cover boys for the game, ok maybe Forest had already lost his belt when the first one came out but I figured I may as well start at least one crazy ass conspiracy theory in my life.
