    He wont. Hendo has a granite chin a powerful right hand and some serious conditioning. Hendo always comes to fight. That guy is way too long in the tooth to loose to a bum like Bisping.

    Bisping obviously isn't a bum is he:roll:, he might not be elite but if he beats hendo he is certainly getting onto that kind of level.

    Bisping is a bum. Hendo is a bonafide ATG. Guys been around since the days of Rings and was a stud over in PRIDE and in the early days of the UFC. Bisping is a TUF bum. **** him. And beating Hendo wont make him elite believe that. Hendo is still a great conditioned fighter but physically his seen better days and has alot of mileage. Anyway matters not as Hendo isnt loosing to a scrub like Bisping. Expect Bisping to get mauled in on the matt and standing up. Hendo will be in his grill all night.

    I think Bisping has a decent chance of beating Hendo for that reason right there. Hendo is getting old. Bisping needs to stand and out strike Hendo, which he can do fairly comfortably. He will get hit sometimes but he should be able to avoid the big right hand. And his chin isn't that bad. One thing is for sure he ain't knocking Hendo out.

    He should keep his distance so as to make it harder for Hendo to take him down, cos if it goes to the ground, Hendo will sit on him and gnp his way to a UD.

    Bad idea. Hendo can crack and has a VERY powerful right hand. For a wrestler his striking is quite decent and varied. Prime Hendo and this fight wouldnt even be close. Either way i just dont see an average fighter like Micheal beating Hendo when he struggled so much with Matt Hamil. Bisping has never faced anyone of the calibre of Hendo. When he fought another decent wrestler who could strike the guy lost.

    What, bad idea striking? What else is he gonna do?

    His striking is better than Hendo's imo. Hendo only has the power advantage where that's concerned. Hendo's is decent but not great. He has the skills to circle and pick off Hendo all night.

    But Franklin is a better kickboxer than Bisping imo, and he failed short of beating Hendo.

    Rather controversially.

    You are turning into a joke poster, hendo was good enough to beat franklin and before silva he was the man at 185 so a win for bisping would be great. Also bisping would knock the **** out of most 185 pound fighters and below so are they all bums as well. If bispings a bum wtf are you :-(

    I disagree bisping is a much better kickboxer than franklin, he managed to hold his own with the snake in a kickboxing fight something i would be suprised to see franlkin do.

    On subject, the thread starter is the ultimate moron. Off subject, I love Hendo as much as anybody but I'm not sure who takes this fight. Bisping is better then most give him credit for, both have great chins Bisping took a beautiful knee to the face from Elvis Sinosic that I think would have KOed alot of people and Dan has take chots from the best in the world time and again. This should be a good one but I think Bisping out points Hendo in the stand up.
