It wasnt that he looked amazing. Miller looked like total dog shit so it didn't take much for bisping to look good. I'm just sad there isn't more time for Chael to trash talk 2 weeks is barely foreplay :'( I really don't see a way for Bising to win this.

Apparenty the only thing keepin Palhares from Maia's legs is a expired passport

I did not know that sir... well Sonnen almost beat Anderson Silva... Bisping won't be able to generate much of anything.

I really don't like Bisping so I hope he gets ground into the canvas

Maia v Palhares has to happen.

@Late85 - Forgot about the season of TUF that proceeded that huh? :-p j/k

No seriously, i like Sonnen and i like Bisping so i honestly do not mind who wins.
Amazes me how some people still consider Bisping a 'joke' just because they do not like him. They call him pillow fisted etc etc. Sonnen hit Anderson over 330 times and Anderson barely looked like he was in a fight, so the same could be suggested of him too (Anderson hit Sonnen 30 times and Sonnen looked like he had been hit round the face with a bat LOL).
I guess what i am saying is yes Sonnen probably will secure an early takedown and go for a submission etc, but Bisping is no joke. The guy can fight. He is pretty well rounded. :-)

I think Silva shows damage like Penn shows damage. Some people get hit once and look like they got hit by a truck. Stylistically this isn't a good match up for Bisping. The only way for him to win is a hail mary sub off his back, which with Sonnen we all know this is possible.

Yes i do agree, its not a great match up for Bisping at all. However i find it odd that people treat Sonnen as this undefeated and unbeatable beast that finishes every dude he get's near. Bisping has a few things going for him. He has great footwork, very technical striking, cardio off the charts and pretty solid takedown defense too, plus he has never been submitted as far as i know? Chael certainly isn't a better mixed martial artist - well not in the landslide sense some people seem to think anyway. He is an awesome wrestler but then so was Brock Lesnar. Just my 2p/cents :-)

I agree Bisping has some skills but he really hasn't faced really good wrestlers. Except Henderson but Henderson only had the H-bomb on his mind.
