Tim Boetsch Has An Agenda That Includes A Fight With Michael Bisping
“I’ve done interviews where they’ll say I’m known for being a grinder, wearing people out, and I’ve had to remind them that sure, my last two wins at middleweight went to decision, but before that I won most of my fights by TKO and finishing guys. This isn’t anything new, my power certainly hasn’t gone away; I feel like I’m hitting harder now than I was at light heavyweight. I think that maybe people had forgotten that I can stop people with my hands. I’d like to think my next fight will be against whoever’s next in line to determine who will face the winner of the Anderson Silva, Chael Sonnen fight. Definitely I’d like to take on a top three fighter; I want that fight, I want to take them out. (Michael) Bisping’s name has been on my agenda for a long time. Even back when we were at light heavyweight he was someone I wanted to fight. I think he did a heck of a job against Chael and he’s certainly up there as a contender…It will be interesting to see who they come with, and whoever they do, I’ll be ready.”
Coming off of the biggest win of his career against Yushin Okami, Tim “The Barbarian” Boetsch says he’s ready for the top 3.
Michael Bisping impressed in his last outing against Sonnen, even in defeat, he put himself closer to contender status.
If Boetsch gets his matchmaking wish who takes this fight?

IMO Bisping would easily beat Boetsch. Boetsh fluked a win against Okami, it was one of the most one sided fights I’ve seen in a while and just caught him with a bomb. I don’t think he’s ever going to be a contender.
he caught him with about 5 straight bombs. It was badass the way he just held him there and unloaded uppercuts. He’s tough and I doubt Bisbing would be able to stop him. Bisbing by decision.
not so far Tim…. you are not the last Coke on desert…. you´ve got lucky against Okami… but come on i know that you have to make a fight, but Bisping it´s too much for you…
Took A swing but he caught me with a sucker-punch right
then a sucker-punch left and a sucker-punch right
then twenty-two consecutive sucker-punch rights
I like Boetsch, but I don’t think he has more than a punchers chance against Bisping. I think Okami is a good wrestler, but he’s definitely overrated. The guy’s so slow. I wouldn’t mind seeing this fight, but I prefer Bisping vs Munoz for the contender spot.
Who’s Fabers coaching team?
