**Poppa Catfish** · 02-28-11, 07:57 AM

I sure hope the old Belfort shows up for this fight

ha yeah, not great stylistically for Bisping.

**Poppa Catfish** · 02-28-11, 08:05 AM

wait, what? I thought they found a perfect guy to be on Bisping's highlight.

What do you think the line will be? I was thinking Belfort +135

**sirchadwick1** · 02-28-11, 08:08 AM

I'll gladly take Belfort as the dog in this one. I fear the only way he can win though is by an early (T)KO so may as well go in on the prop. I'll be happy w/ the result either way though... as this would bring Bisping a step closer to getting dismantled by Anderson.

**Poppa Catfish** · 02-28-11, 08:22 AM

I'm very much uninterested in a Bisping vs Silva fight.

Time machine fight! vs Wanderlei, and Bisping has to spit on W Silva's corner. That's the rub. Plus knees will be legal

Yeah, I highly doubt it would be much of a fight... I'm only interested in seeing Bisping staring into the heavens again. Honestly I've really been hoping for a Rampage/Anderson superfight for years. I'd rather see that than GSP/Anderson.

ha I cant help but think of the amount of times Bisping has been caught standing...unlike Rivera, Miller, Akiyama, etc... Belfort knows how to throw combinations! Not sure bout the line, I dont think line would be more than Evens for Belfort.

**Poppa Catfish** · 02-28-11, 08:50 AM

Well my fantasy line was just crushed down to -110, you had your chance and failed to act. Generally they have a habit of overvaluing fighters coming off a decisive win and in Belfort's case a decisive loss. I think this is close to even upon closing, just a hunch says it starts off around +125 +130, but what the hell do I know?

**urge2kill** · 02-28-11, 10:11 PM

I like Belfort in this one.

**omalley21** · 02-28-11, 10:17 PM

Belfort will be a big favorite in this one. Not only does everyone hate bisping and love betting against him but Vitor is also a fan favorite and much better than him.

**Poppa Catfish** · 02-28-11, 10:47 PM

Please let Bisping be a huge dog

**Squareguy** · 02-28-11, 10:48 PM

I want Sonnen to fight Bisping....could you guys imagine how much of a girl he would turn into when Sonnen started talking trash?

And Sonnen would follow up in the cage too, it would be beautiful.

**Eccocide** · 02-28-11, 10:53 PM

If Belfort was a dog/evens against Bisping, it would be a large bet for me, no doubt. But Sonnen has called him out and I'd also love to see Bisping get manhandled for 3 rounds.

I would be on that even though I hate the guy with a passion. I'd rather see Sonnen kick his ass because I can win money and see Bisping lose.

I agree with both the being on Bisping, and wanting to see him get the ever loving shit beat out of him, but either way the emphasis for me is on winning money

**The HOFF** · 02-28-11, 11:40 PM

Let me brighten everyone's day. This never gets old...

**Squareguy** · 03-01-11, 12:53 AM

This is awesome!!! Sonnen is also trying to get the match w/ Bisping, and nothing is set in stone yet w/ Belfort.

Hope the Sonnen fight happens instead.

**Boddhissatva** · 03-01-11, 01:47 AM

Vitor wins easily

Agreed.

**kiefynugs** · 03-01-11, 03:27 AM

belfort is 0-1 at MW and sonnen is coming off a loss and suspension and hasn't fought in over a year.

I say make it Vitor vs. Sonnen and make bisping fight okami

Yep, but he is going to win easily, or so I'm told.

Sonnen vs Belfort sounds like a good fight, may the best roider win.

**FlashinLeather** · 03-01-11, 10:17 AM

I really don't care who it is Sonnen or Belfort but I can't wait to see Spitsbing get KTFO. I really can't stand this guy in interviews he portrays himself as such a nice guy, sensitive, got his feeling hurt, but then all his actions show what a real ass hole he is. Watching Hendo KO him and then drop the most unecessary bomb to the chin of this ass out cold always makes my day.

This guy cheated twice last fight (grabbing the fence to avoid a sweep, and a knee that should have ended the fight) I hope the UFC sets up one of theses fights where he will get smashed, and not an Okami fight where he might be able to get on his bike and do the old Spitsbing jab and jog...jab and jog...

Sonnen by brutal ground and pound to a decision that leads to a nice hospital visit for Spitsbing
or
Belfort by first round KO
Either works for me

Yeah I hope Sonnen and Vitor take care of that nasty cheater [this was said without a shred of sarcasm, not one bit]

haha double standards and hyprocrisy are non-existant!

**FlashinLeather** · 03-01-11, 01:10 PM

They both cheated in different way, and obviously Sonnen pissing hot is much worse than an illegal knee and a grab of the fence. But Sonnen has been punished for what he did, lost a lot of money and for sure some sponsorships, and so he has payed the price for it. Bisping got away with a blatant knee and then attempted to spit on the opposing guys cornermen

At the end of the day, I think Sonnen is a better fighter, better at creating hype, and more exciting to watch (people will probably disagree with this one) and I would love to see him ground and pound the shit out of Spitsping

Bisping as a dog would be great. Vitor is going to humbly accept a second straight KO to the face. This makes for a better fight, but to see where everyone is in the division I think one should fight Okami and the other Sonnen. I guess they're playing it safe in case GSP loses... and Okami gets the title shot.

**Cap dat 4ss** · 03-01-11, 07:14 PM

Bisping handing out a KO

**Pabinator** · 03-01-11, 07:48 PM

Vitor will win this fight. I hope he is underdog, pile up time

**omalley21** · 03-01-11, 07:53 PM

I doubt they sacrifice Bisping to any top fighter. They're protecting him to make money in england.

**clarkd32** · 03-01-11, 09:42 PM

bisping has been fed easy fights pretty much his whole ufc career... the only difficult fights (henderson and hamill) he lost - yes, he really lost that hamill fight.

**jin2daj** · 03-01-11, 10:47 PM

bisping will get crushed by vitor and okami deserves his freakin title shot.

i think okami has a realistic chance of beating silva. powerful takedowns and size with much better sub def (compared to sonnen).

**corcoran65** · 03-01-11, 11:24 PM

vs belfort i have a belfort ko and vs sonnen a sonnen dec

**Varker** · 03-01-11, 11:56 PM

sweet, i'm waiting to see bisping get knocked out again. he has to be the most annoying fighter ever.

**Vaughany** · 03-02-11, 04:47 AM

Could do Munoz vs Bisping as well I guess if Munoz wins tomorrow as they've both fought at similar times.
