Bisping vs Munoz is only logical MW matchup for number 1 contender...

by aloha155 on Jan 30, 2012 2:28 PM EST

I think the only logical matchup for Bisping in this point is to fight Mark Munoz when he's healthy. Yes Michael had a training camp for the Mayhem Miller fight and continued it into the Chael fight but Michael looked so determined and just imagine if maybe the tiny break had a little on him. He showed he can compete with the best noting that Chael was the first man to pretty much lay it into the champ Silva. I think Bisping vs Munoz is the only match up they can make because Michael obviously gained more in the fight Saturday then a match up with Alan Belcher. Thats a step down from competition and he would gain nothing from it. But then again if they offer Bisping, Belcher...hes shown he will never turn down a fight so I'm hoping they offer him Munoz.
The reason I picked Belcher is because a fan I saw in another post mentioned his name. Anyone else's opinion on whats next for these two?

Think the UFC will try to throw hm back in as soon as possible:
Big name
Showed all the haters the other night that he’s legit (I think he won)
Not a great deal of time left for him

Don’t think it’ll be a genuine number one contenders match but it’s def top 5 fodder

aloha155 is the man!

hey fellow ufc lovers, i agree with the post here. But i have some other questions for fight fans out there. Cain Velasquez where the hell are you?

Cain??

Hey! Thanks Situation! What a lovely thing for you to say! And brings me to your point about Mr. Velasquez… Where is he?

Disputed decision or not, he still lost.

And a one fight win streak does not warrant a title shot. Give him someone like Maia or Stann, a top-level fighter coming off of a loss, and if he wins that make Bisping/the winner of Vitor/Wandy a title eliminator. Since, I’m assuming, Munoz is still injured set up Palhares/Belcher or Palhares/Weidman and have the winner of that fighter Munoz for the next title shot after Sonnen.

My first thought was Palhares v Munoz for a number 1 contender fight, but when I heard Dana White say that he thought Bisping beat Sonnen, then this fight came to mind as a realistic possibility. I wouldn’t be surprised if it showed up as the headliner for the next UFC on FOX.
