He has always been focused on takedown defense and scrambling back to his feet to implement a boxing/kickboxing game. The only...ONLY change in the last decade to his skillset is that in the last 2 years he has been sitting on his punches more. He still does the same shit now that he did against Hendo/Wand/etc... who could match him standing. He still circles to everyone's power hand, and his footwork has remained the same.
He won fair and square against Rocksalt, but can you honestly sit there and say that it was all Bisping and not Rocksalt taking Bisping lightly because of the previous thrashing he gave him? Honestly?
The only reason Bisping is MW champion now is luck of the draw and capitalizing on other men's misfortunes.(Title shot because the other contenders before him either fought recently or were scheduled to fight already.)
He made the most of the opportunity and has run from contenders ever since gaining that strap. It's also funny that the only way he was able to get a title shot was through sheer luck...Because he failed to get the job done on three(to my knowledge) separate occasions in title eliminator matches.
Listen, it's ok to like above average fighters...I do that too. I like Black Beast even though he will likely never reach gold. I used to love Chris Lytle even knowing that he would never reach gold.
Be happy your Lytle was able to weasel his way through the cracks to crack Rocksalt to a title, and be happy that he was smart enough to run from all the top contenders.<45>
Holyshit no no no no no Jesus man you clearly have never ever even watched Bisping fight.
Also Rockhold fought Bisping the exact same way he always fights. I mean he threw the exact same lazy jab vs weidman 1 fight ago........ Rockhold had zero respect for Bispings hands and according to him he still doesnt. He also said he has zero respect for anyones hands in the MW division. (He has always had bad defensive stand up and terrible boxing. But his kicking is phenomanal and ussually makes up for it.)
He hasnt run from anyone in his entire career it is just the way the division has panned out due to Moose leaving Injuries and GSP inserting himself into the equation. After Bisping flogs the shit out of GSP he will fight Whittaker (most likely loose to be honest) who is currently the best in the division.
And if he decides to retire after the GSP fight he has earned that right btw good for him and we have a Incredible fighter in Bobby Knuckles as Champ. I mean wtf are you whinging about?
Fucking retard.
