Michael Bisping Getting No Love From His Peers in Pre-Fight Predictions
(Props: MMA Connected)
Fighters who predict Dan Henderson will beat Michael Bisping, in the above video: Patrick Cote, Gray Maynard, Jon Fitch, Sean Sherk
Fighters who think it could go either way: Wanderlei Silva, Rashad Evans
Fighters who predict Michael Bisping will beat Dan Henderson: "..."
Of course, when you stack the panel with American wrestlers, you're bound to get a bias for one side. (I have a feeling that Dan Hardy and Paul Kelly see the fight differently.) But the general reality is, people think Bisping is going to get his ass kicked next weekend at UFC 100. According to MMA Moneyline, Bisping's odds range from +180 at BetUS all the way to an alarming +240 at BetOnline. Sure, Hendo deserves to be the favorite — but an overwhelming one? I mean, Bisping could shock the world, right?
After the jump: Dan Henderson and Cyrille Diabate talk strategy for the Count.

@ Polish:
I *did* mean next weekend. Thanks for the catch!
Emopinata Says:
BISPING WILL GET HIS ASSKICKED. Bisping has beaten shit of the shit, no competitive opponent at all. And just to grasp i think, the level bisping isnt on,
Bisping lost to Rashad who lost to Lyoto with ease, Also he Lost to Hamil ( i think ) who lost to Rich with ease, Rich who just beat wanderlei who was knocked out by rampage and beat by chuck... bisping is a joke...
his first real opponent
he loses. promise
mayhem Says:
He couldnt beat Matt Hammil so I dont think he can beat Hendo (much better wrestling and striking) ... he also struggled with Rashad.
I just hope that he doesnt pull this one outta his ass and walks away with some bullshit win.
Cookie Monster Says:
hendo is a beast!
Savageleto Says:
...No--- You cannot thread fights like that.
Lyoto walks through everyone he faces-- so you cannot compare opponents with him as a gauge.
Bisping may very well lose, but it will not be releated to the "logic" path provided by someone who cannot grasp the ramifications of the last administrations damage on this world...
---enough of your squalid nonsense.
It should be a good fight... and certainly I would like Hendo to pop that arrogant, conical melon Bisping calls a head.
And fuck the fu... Says:
Hendo by KO/TKO in Rd1
newdeal Says:
I honestly think that bisping will win this fight via knee to the head followed by punches until the ref stops it

The guy didn't look that impressive against Leben, how the hell does he really think he's gonna beat Hendo? If Bisping was from the states and the UFC tried to market him like everyone else (not like a international commodity I.E. Brandon Vera) he would have already been exposed. Instead his highest profile victory is against Eric Shaeffer (who is tough as nails but he isn't making anyone's top 50 lists for his weight class). His wins in the UFC are against (I refuse to count he Hamill fight) Josh Haynes, Elvis Sinosic, Chainsaw McCarthy, Jason Day, and Leben. I think he's going to find out trying to take Hendo down is one of the stupidest things he's ever done and then Dan is gonna knock his ass out and he'll be down for the count...heeeey yooo
Emopinata Says:
Walks through? no your ignorant.
he walked through tito ortiz? lOL! he was fuckin exhausted at the end of round three.
walked through who else?
i'm not denying machida's talent the guys fuckin good,
but hes FACED NO ONE BESIDES RASHAD.
people are gauges,
fighters are gauges,
thats why everyone is ranked. idiot.

Count Crybaby Snoot-fuck is going to get POUNDED.
=WAR HENDO=
portland mma Says:
You see pretty ignorant yourself emopinata, what about when Lyoto took out a young Stephan Bonnar, Rich Franklin, Thiago Silva, and BJ Penn (granted he gave up about 30 or 40 pounds).
portland mma Says:
Also who gives a shit if he was gassed he still dominantly took out Tito. I am actually a Machida hater but figure out why you don't like him before you talk shit...my beef is purely a urine drinking thing.
Emopinata Says:
Thiago beat who? alexander?
Stephan who, plain joke?
BJ Penn anywhere other then lightweight is what..? nothing?
Rich Franklin vs. Technical Strikers... need i say more, and at the time rich only had wins over who? evan tanner? lol!
anything else? Dominantly taking out Tito, but taking him to decision? Nothing is dominant in a decision unless its 24-30 imo. With some of the decisions i've seen atleast.
Savageleto Says:
Yup...
Walked through Tito --- I would not call your description of his fatigue even close to accurate in the Unanimous Decision 30-27 victory over Tito... Sure he was breathing hard.. he just got done fighting for 15 mins..
Walked through Rashad..
Walked through Franklin.. Bj Penn.. etc..etc
As for the weight class he has fought the best that is available thus far...
Perhaps you should study up on what you are talking about before you run your mouth on any issue...
As ignorance is curable.... Stupid is forever.
portland mma Says:
"Rich Franklin vs. Technical Strikers... need i say more"
Nah your good, you've already proven to be an inept retard. That's the whole point of MMA is it not? Different fighters who excel in different fighting disciplines? Your just hating for the reason to hate, if you want to act like a little bitch like that you can take something away from any victory anyone's ever had.
Savageleto Says:
--- Of course the further you dig your hole of stupidity .. the less significant your words are.
So are you the next man to beat Lyoto Machida?
or perhaps you will take on Thiago, slightly before that.. Who I am sure will face you after you kick Stephan "the plain joke" Bonnar's ass...
Afterall .. you will want to follow his footsteps, beating the ass of every fighter he has faced in a even more severe fashion then he did .. so you can prove your dominance to the world...
If you are not the "man" to do this.. Who is?
I for one do not see anyone touching this guy for a long while... so comparing fighters of a less caliber against him as a judge when no one has even come close to solving the guy is a joke...
portland mma Says:
Honestly though you can do that to any fighter watch: Thiago Alves is clearly a stud, he beat Hughes, Karo and Koscheck all in the same year. However if you used douche bag McEmopinata strategy of being a cocksucking loser you can do this: Alves was huge when he fought Hughes from not making weight , Koscheck one of the UFC's best wrestlers tried to out strike Alves a great striker, and Karo is so fucking loopy on anti-anxiety medicine he can't function as a human being. Not to mention Thiago has lost to Jon Fitch...and Spencer Fisher (a lightweight)...see using douche mathematics I just turned Alves into an illegitimate contender.
ChiefOfStaph Says:
you can predict how long Bisping is gonna spend on his back over at www cagesage com.
plus some other cool stuff too like how many times Rogan will say 'unbelievable' during the night
Emopinata Says:
DID ANY OF YOU POSE ANY ARGUMENT TO WHAT I WAS SAYING? didn't think so.
i'll argue the one argument
FALLIN INTO A TRIANGLE FROM TITO ORTIZ IN ROUND THREE THEN FLOPPIN AROUND LIKE A FISH. WILL NOT WORK IN HIS POSITION NO LONGER.
no other logical issues from you fucktards. you're morons.
portland mma Says:
"DID ANY OF YOU POSE ANY ARGUMENT TO WHAT I WAS SAYING?"
That is the typing equivalent of saying "nah nah nah nah, I cant hear you," with your hands over your ears. Get a fucking clue. I also love how your following in the footsteps of your lover Hal.
hooligun Says:
I like hendo, I liked him even more before I saw him sack kick and eye gouge his way past Franklin. But I like bisping more. Probably being English is a big part (same reason you seppos hug hendos nuts!!) anyway, with lee murray out of it and Dan hardy still coming up its WAR BISPING for now!
portland mma Says:
I don't even like Hendo, Bisping is such a complete English douchebag that he forces one to root for Hendo. I am a big Dan Hardy fan though, I just wish Marcus Davis would shut the fuck up.
Savageleto Says:
What argument are you making ?!?!
He whupped Ortiz's ass ... Tito attempts a move that would normally take out most fighters, and Lyoto escapes in about 5 seconds..
Thats + points for Lyoto... Not minus..
Each post you make is minus points for your rep though...
Keep on this track by all means tho...
(I think you should hurry and register a new screen name)

did sean sherk do the voiceover's for batman in the dark knight?
SiDeBuRnZ Says:
Savageleto is actually Machida standing behind his translator typing away on a keyboard...
EzMoNeY Says:
i surprised no pros think Bisping can do what he did to Chris Leben or matt hammil, and just back pedal and stick the jab the whole time against a brawler and pick up a decision win

nahhhhhh hes not even that smart, this guy is just another 3rd world asshole with a hard-on for anything USA driven. he brings his friends like 831 son, and hal along for the ride cause they are both inbreed Jeds.
They are all to be pitied.
olyhighgerl2007 Says:
I am saying Hendo all the way! Bisping kinda pissed me off on TUF! And I have been a fan of Hendo wayy longer than The Count!
Clyde Says:
Bisping can't win because he's British and there's international laws against us succeeding in any competition that anyone gives a crap about. We can medal in cycling and swimming at the olymics and that's it. Fact.
Savageleto Says:
So..
I stomp your little boyfriends ass, you get bent and you try to group me in with some of your other little boy toys..
Listen up fuck stain... If you have something to say in regards to something of substance.. Bring it..
Leave your incoherent, fantasy's behind...
You are simply not good at them.. and no one really wants to peak under the hood of what gets you going.
Shut your stupid fucking cock gargling mouth.
