Sonnen vs. Bisping: Call your shot

You know what? I actually deleted a sentence from that last post about it!

Bisping is (IMO, obviously) light years ahead of Stann on the ground so I didn't want anyone to think I was insulting their intelligence!

I voted for Chael to win via decision. It really is a great match up Bisping who has the most to gain.

I would give a stand up edge to Bisping and he may fight extremely carefully (a la Leben) but I see Chael being able to take him down and dominate that way.

Bisping is competent on the ground and can stand up and threaten Chael with subs - but I think Chael will edge it out.

A really great match up only mired by the fact that Chael can beat AS but Bisping cannot!

Not even, Mike will not KO Chael in 99/100 fights. Chael has held down & beaten fighters like Okami & Marquardt...and held down AS for 4.5 rounds, also beat on him notwithstanding the loss. He bullied Stann around, so I believe he has a significant strength advantage over Mike. I don't dislike Bisping, but I don't give him much of a chance in this one.
