Bisping....how good is he

I think he can beat henderson he is alot younger faster and is a much better striker (obviously hendo is alot heavier handed), bisping has better ju jitsu but is miles behind hendo in the wrestling department. I think if bisping can avoid being taken down to some degree and keep the fight standing but at a distance he can win. Now i am not saying this will happen but this is the kind of test bisping needs to see if he can fight the best around.

 

How do you work that out?

 

Hendo running on fumes should beat Bisping. Bisping sucks. Sorry but its true, he has no base, has been treated v. generously by the UFC because he can sell their product a little better in the UK (somewhat like how Kongo can in France I suspect), and he got outstruck my Matt Hamill, when thats supposed to be his strong point.

 

Bisping has been doing ju jitsu for over 20 years, hendo is an amazing wrestler and thats why he is good on the ground.

 

He might have gone to a Japanese Jiu Jitsu class when he was 8, but he has not been doing serious grappling for 20 years. **** outter here, maybe youre thinking of Damien Maia.

 

atsch I am pretty sure bisping competed to a pretty high level when he was younger in ju jitsu obviously not a damian maia but what makes you think dan henderson is any more competant at ju jitsu?

 

You're definietly thinking of somebody else. Firstly, he's from England, there is no 'high level' Jiu Jitsu there at all, and definitely wasn't when he was a kid. In fact there wasn't any anywhere but Brazil.

Michael bisping is not a ground fighter at all.

Dan Henderson is one of the best grapplers ever in MMA, Bisping is not a grappler period.

What you need to understand is that just because fighters train in something called Jiu Jitsu and something called wrestling, the two are not mutually exclsuive. To say Michael Bisping is better in any way on the ground than Hendo is clearly nonsense. HE IS A SECOND RATE STRIKER, if he had a better ground game than Dan Henderson dont you think he'd, uh, use it?

 

1995 Silver medal – world jiu-jitsu championships michael bisping

 

His own wiki says its some obscure form of traditional Jiu Jitsu he did as a kid and competed in as a child.

dan Henderson is an Olympic wrestler.

Michael Bisping is not a ground fighter at all.

This is embarrassing.

Bisping is somewhat of a descent fighter, who (from what I seen in the Leben fight) seems to put together good game plans to get wins. He plays it safe most of the time and thats why he has done well in the MW division thus far.

I predict Hendo will shoot and get him down and TKO in the 1st. Playing it safe doesn't seem to work against Henderson, he took Rich down everytime he tried to get away. I am pretty interested what happens to be honest, I also predicted that LEben would walk away the winner.

 

Good fighter. Looked much better at 185. Not proven. I think he has criticised boxing but that's cheap considering he sometimes solely boxes. The fight against the Canadian he looked his most complete.

He is talked about with Franklin, Silva, Henderson etc but he isn't proven on that level unless you include the fight with Evans.

 

You're inability to concede a point is the most embarrassing thing.

 

Fool!!
