Okay, first I got the news from MMA Live (which sucks major dick if you're trying to find it via espn.com/mma) and apparently there's some videos that Jorge Rivera is releasing mocking Bisping's punching power, technique...whatever. Bisping is supposedly getting really emotional about this. Question: What exactly is being said/done? Anyone have the videos? And on a relative non-sequitur, I'm a fan of both of these guys, moreso to Rivera. I like the way he handled himself on TUF 4, specifically his comments about Jeremy Jackson (who is pretty ****ed at the moment). Bisping, for the most part, gets a lot of **** that isn't deserved (some is). Anyways, any vids/info is appreciated. I think it'll be a good fight.

Bisping's the kind of silly twat who'd take this to heart, despite it being rubbish and utterly not funny. Way to rise to your lesser opponent, Bisping.
Good Bisping interview where he talks about it here - Independent Blog Bisping will advance to 21-3 after this fight I think. He's actually a very consistent fighter, and his recent resume is filled with solid B-list fighters like Rivera (see: Akiyama, Kang, Miller, Leben). He'll frustrate Rivera and pick him apart on route to a unanimous decision, maybe a late stoppage if Rivera gasses.
Word on the street is if Bisping wins, he gets a shot at Anderson Silva, who is more than willing to fight in England.
bisping is very lucky that they have managed him well to maintain the brit attraction. during this time he has improved. his in between fights have been picked well. when i say in between, i mean inbetween step ups to elite level where he always falls short. he is evolving into a well rounded fighter though. good striker with average poor, poor chin, good heart and an improving top game and defensive jits.

That's odd. There's possibly GSP/Silva and if not, there's Okami vs. Silva for sure. Bisping should be at least another two wins away...at least.
GSP won't beat Anderson, but Okami and Bisping would be decent matchups for GSP IMO. Far more favourable stylistically than Silva is IMO.
