Bisping: Sonnen had his chance, I’m the true number one contender


“Chael Sonnen had his chance, put on a great performance but lost. Got tapped out, got finished, and then after that he failed a steroids test. As far as I can see he had his chance and he blew it. I feel I deserve a shot. I have got to beat Miller, he is tough, I am not looking past him. [But] it’s me, I’m the contender. Belfort has just been beat, Yushin Okami has just been beat, Sonnen got beat. What are they going to do, all they all going to keep beating each other up and then having another shot at him? No, I’m the contender.”

In his latest interview with the UK based, Fighters Only Magazine, Michael Bisping points out why he thinks he should be next in line for a shot at Anderson Silva’s title.

The Chael Sonnen vs. Anderson Silva rematch is almost guaranteed at this point but would anyone give “Count” Bisping a shot at the king?

    Bisping deserves a shot at the title if he wins his next fight, Sonnen should wait his turn and fight either Kosheck or Belfort.


  2. Alan

    Maybe bisping does deserve it because really besides chael because stann just lost winner of leben munoz should face a top 5 guy and no one really left unless they want to give cung le a shot if he beats wandy but then again bisping hasnt faced a top 10 guy but due to lack of contenders to anderson then he probably would get one.


  3. lee boi

    I’m not a Bisping fan, but when the loss to Hendo does not put him under the ranks. Besides Chael,Hendo may be the only man we’ve ever seen win a round against Anderson Silva. lol but michael and Anderson will not sell out the Dallas stadium Chael and Anderson will. That’s where Dana want’s the fight, and though it may not be fair it’s about making that money!


  4. Big J

    As soon as you can beat a top tier fighter you’ll have your crack at it, until then, shut your face!


  5. jack

    Keep telling yourself that Bisbing. Truth is you are irrelevant in the Middleweight division


  6. Jpeech

    Fuck Bisping illegal knees and spitting on people is way worse then Sonnen talking shit what a joke he will lose to Miller and we wont have to hear from him for a while.


  7. Creature

    Bisping get past Mayhem first, then take out Belfort, if you can do that THEN you are deserving. If Hendo beats Shogun he could ask for Anderson instead of the Bones/Machida winner. And he would be much more deserving than you will ever even be close to being.


  8. Cheecho

    Your not there buddy. Maybe in your own mind you think you could get in the ring with Silva. But the reality is that you would get KTFO – bigtime.


  9. matt s

    im not a bisping fan, but i do think he deserves a shot, he has paid his dues and if he beats miller i say give it to him. whats the worst that could happen other than him gettin demolished like everyone says he will? judging by everyones reactions that is what they want so y not just go with it? id love to see that fight. everyone else gets their shot. silva has cleared the division more or less so it seems only logical to fight mayhem or bisping in my mind anyway

    WAIT TILL HECTOR LOMBARD GETS INTO THE UFC IN JUNE THEY WILL RUSH HIM INTO A BIG FIGHT SAY WITH BISPING OR WEIDMAN THEN THROW HIM AT SILVA, IF HECTOR LOMBARD DOESNT KILL ANDERSON SILVA ILL NEVER POST ON THIS FORUM OR WATCH MMA AGAIN IVE SEEN BOTH GUYS FIGHT LIVE AND IM TELLING YOU ALL LOOK THE FUCK OUT LOMBARD IS THE FUTURE OF THE MIDDLEWEIGHT DIVISION HE’S STILL UNDER CONTRACT WITH BELLATOR TILL JUNE/JULY THEN UNCLE DANA WILL SIGN HIM UP IF SILVA DOESNT RETIRE SONN HE BETTER CAUSE WHEN LOMBARD GETS TO HIM IT’LL BE GAME OVER, LOMABARD REMINDS ME OF SILVA WHEN HE FIRST CAME TO THE UFC HE JUST LOOKS UNSTOPPABLE AND THERE ISNT ANYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD THAT LOOKS AS GOOD AS THIS GUY AT THIS WEIGHT OOPS SOZ ABOUT THE CAPITALS
