Thought Bisping looked great last night However..... the slightly contentious decision may just have put him next in on the menu of Paul Harris Do you see this fight happening next? If so how does it play out? This content is protected
Palhares via heel hook. He doesn't actually need to get Bisping down, he just needs to grab hold of him. And Bisping's jits is good as far as defending positions and escaping back to the feet, neither of which will do him any good against a leg lock master. I'd rather see Bisping against someone like Maia. See if Maia remembers that he's actually pretty good at jiu jitsu and while his stand up is improving his bread and butter is still on the ground. If Bisping can take out Maia he's right back in the mix, and by then the Sonnen Silva **** should be resolved and he can either face Munoz in a title eliminator or get a 5 round re-match with Sonnen.
There's very few middleweights i'd pick any other result over when fighting Harris I think Anderson would probably punt him into row K, but would still love to see that fight, and hope to God it happens before Silva retires In my eyes, Palhares is easily the most exciting fighter in MMA
Problem is, everyone who fights Palhares will look to avoid the ground and strike. That can make for a boring fight OR if we are lucky he gets the sub or ko'd.
This. He doesn't need good takedowns or good top control or even very good stand up, dude just needs to grab a limb and twist it till someone screams

Bad match up for Palhares. He won't be able to get Bisping down, and he'll get picked apart on the feet. You idiots seem to forget that these BJJ guys aren't wrestlers. Their takedowns are weak and pulling guard doesn't work without a willing opponent. He might be able to hail mary a heel hook, but that's his only shot at winning.
I've seen a few highlights of Palhares looking good in the clinch for taking people down but again that was highlights. Good fight if it is made.
