Well he was on a 6 fight win streak, where he beat the GOAT MW, and avenged 2 losses that happened pre USADA, regardless of what stupid revisionist history you want to go off of, to say he didnt benefit from USADA is factually incorrect.
Well thats like your opinion as I have mine. He had quite some wins with questionable decisions but always had the full marketing power of UFC behind himself. He "avenged" nothing by winning a very close decision against a senior citizen Henderson who was retired and couldnt even move his head anymore. Thats like Klitschko waiting until he coudl "avenge" his loss against a half dead Lamon Brewster. Or your proclaimed win against the "GOAT" <Lmaoo> Yeah that was when Silva hadnt won a fight in 4 years and also was way way past his prime. Thats when Bisping fights elite opponents.
Henderson wasnt top15 at that point. Hadnt the fight been in England he would have even lost this. It was the most pathetic display of a title fight in the newer history of MW in the UFC.
I respect Bisping for his win against Rockhold. Maybe fluke is too harsh a word as he countered him clean. I use it because he got easily manhandled in their first fight and then after the win desperatly avoided a rematch with pathetic excuses (as he avoided any real contenders). Sorry but Bisping never behaved like a champ or consistently performed even top10 level.
Thats why I dont see him as one. There is a reason why GSP felt comfortable to get the MW title with Bisping as champ.
