Bisping’s Down For Belfort Fight, Willing To Take Out Boetsch And Weidman Too | UFC NEWS
“I’ve heard the rumour myself, but that’s all I’ve heard. If the fight was to happen I’d definitely be up for it. I’ve got a lot of respect for Vitor, he’s a tough fighter. I want to fight for the title and have the best fights possible – and Vitor would definitely be one of them.Based on that, if the UFC were to come to me with an offer to fight Vitor, I would be more than up for it. I’d look forward to the challenge.
I match up really well with both of them. Weidman’s stand-up is very very poor, it’s not good at all. He’s a very good wrestler, very good grappler, but I do well against those guys. I’d get back to my feet and knock him out. Boetsch I don’t particularly rank at all. He’s just a tough bastard! I’d have my way with him all day.”

weidman would DESTROY the count
You must be ****ing joking pal. who has Weidmann beat apart from fat bastard munoz. im glad weidmann is homeless
i agree, hes only been destroyed once and that was by the biggest puncher in mma. hendo can and has knocked out heavies.
people dont give bisping the respect hes due.
Glad he’s homeless? You cold hearted piece of shit. Do you know how many peoples lives were effected by that hurricane? Your mother should have swallowed
I’m from new haven Connecticut and got hit hard from hurricane sandy.My city new haven,jersey,Philly,and new York got a lot of damage and even some people lost their lives.So hope u beleive in karma cause you’ll get yours.
Wow. There is a good chance you might not be a very good person.
Bisbing said he gonna KO someone. Last time Bisbing fought (stann) UFC was hyping this maxi pad up with 16 career KO. Seriously? He has 16 KO but you can’t show 1 in his highlight reel? He is a hard worker and will out hustle anyone, but other than that Bisbing does not have KO power.
If this fight happens vitor will bull rush his ass because he shouldn’t be scared of those flying cupcakes coming his way. I hope vitor teaches Mikey how to KO.
Vitor from back in the day would of killed bisping. but unfortunantly age has caught up with him. if they do fight Vitor will win round 1 and bisping will take the last 2. Bisping might not finish many ppl with 1 shot. but he always ends up overwhelming them
theese idiots will always hate michael bisping, but hes a true fighter & will fight any1.. i dont understand the hate, hes a legend.. theese retards are living in the past.
Lmfao…. Legend?? What the fukc ever, Vitor will smash him, Weidman will finish him and so will Belcher, he’s gone as far as he’s gonna go. There are no more Mcarthys,Millers and Days to fight this shits gonna get real now!
what hes gonna get finished off weidmann. Didnt you all say the same about the stann fight you absolute idiots
Nor hendos silvas Evans sonnens?
and when michael bisping says he will ko sum1 he probably means tko.. idiots.
@ magoo why didnt u mention jason day? oh yeah he beat belcher lmao… belcher is a decent fighter, but bisping beats him all day akiyamma beat belcher, to guys bisping destroyed! bisping has only been beat by the best mma fighters around the world no bum B level fighters will ever beat him! alot of people think he beat sonnen, evans, and silva,all close decsions, hes only been beat 1 time by dan henderson, hes fought at 2 diffrent weight classes in the ufc and done very well people that say vitor will kill him are crazy!
@yaherd, Why didn’t you mention Hamill? There’s another loss the big mouthed Brit should have on his record! The Belcher of today would no doubt beat the Bitchping of today I think.
@ magoo.. by legend i mean a character you idiot & how do u know hes come as far as he is going to go? im sure hes just beat brian stann whos been knocking people out & im sure hes a win away from a title fight.
He’s a character alright, he looked like shit against Stann all his big talk how he was gonna knock him out and shit. I’ll guarantee u he will lose his next fight, whether its Belfort,Weidman,Belcher or Silva like I said he’s reached the end of the road the count will be down for the count!….. Just watch
Weidman sucks. Stop talking about that bum. He couldn’t finish an out of shape Munoz on the ground, and because he threw that elbow now everyone thinks he’s got amazing stand up. It’s pure slop, Bisping would outclass him on the feet and stuff his takedowns, then what?
I used to rather dislike Bisping, but the man is now truly an MMA fighter. He has steadily improved and evolved. Vitor is a tough assignment but Bisping by UD.
Bisping is a real fighter that unlike some of these other guys that try to sneek their way into a title fight without 1st earning a shot. I commend him for head hunting after the best in the division.
I also have grown to like bisping but i feel he is in a pretty shit spot and i dont see him getting a shot at silva or even the title holder after silva is gone. I think he is going to have to wait to long and come up against someone like weidmen or belfort and lose. I dont see him beating all the other top guys and its a shame cuz i think he is the most deserving middleweight for a crack at the title at the moment. But instead of fighting, silva is sitting on the fence waiting out the prospect of the gsp fight so poor bisping is stuck in no mans land even though a silva v bisping fight would probably sell very well.
for the counts sake i hope im wrong.
I think bisping and Vitor would be a great fight. Could go either way, I can see Vitor pounding him out or bisping outpointing him to a victory, but bisping would def get dropped at least once in this fight. I could also see bisping easily outpointing Weidman and boetsch, they’d both get picked apart. I think belcher would be the next best match for bisping or Vitor. But none of these guys could touch the spider anyway.
Bisping has been fighting anyone the UFC has put in front of him, never tried to cut in line for a titleshot. Bisping deserves the shot.
Weidman still has to prove himself against top competition and should shut his trap about titleshots and fight a few real topcontenders. Or let Weidman and Bisping fight for the #1 spot, that way there is no need to have discussions about who deserves it more. I’m pretty sure Bisping will win that one.
I guess belcher doesn’t exist ??? They can’t run forever..
