Who ever I pick will be cursed, so I will be sitting this vote out. My picks have been shitty lately.
Idk but for me if gsp wins, this title means shit and doesn't add to his GOAT status. He is being Gifted a MW shot for never competing there against someone EVERYONE expects to lose to gsp... and he decides to go now when the champ is as weak as he's ever been

Since when?
Fair enough. Fwiw I'm not a fan of GSPs return, was nice seeing a guy go out on top finally.
As of now GSP is the favourite at -155 to Bispings +125 so not a big gap, Im actually surprised at that.
bisping by decision
9 gsp and 7b bisping right now. this is exaclty why ii want to see this fight so badly. its a coin toss
I'd say there's a 14% chance that statement is 20% true.
Bisping by hard work and size.
GSP tries to wrestle him down and doesn't have the size or aggression for it.
Bisping wins a flurry of 1-2 exchanges and wins the fight via overall control and tae Bo kness near the fence.
Bisping will only lose this fight if GSP can finish him and I don't see that happening.

And people who know nothing about mma thought Rockhold was gonna walk through Bisping, so they didnt buy it.
I listened to Bispings podcast this week and for the Kennedy fight he didnt train any wrestling whatsoever. Basically kickboxed the whole time because he thought his takedown defence would be good enough regardless. Then went on to say that he wont make the same mistake for the GSP fight.
I think GSP will get touched up, and look worse.
If Bisping does win, I'd think it'd be by championship round TKO.
But GSP is very smart, & very disciplined, and very focused.
Because of these 3 factors, and his willpower and vision, I think his determination will take him to a 48-47 victory, slightly worse for the wear.

C'mon Joe. You gonna say that the vast majority of mma fans and betting lines being -725 means everyone but die hard Bisping fans know nothing about MMA? You wouldn't consider that fight an upset after Luke subbed him once and Mike came in on short notice?
Bisping was winning the first fight until the headbutt and just came off a good performance against Silva. Not really an upset plenty of fighters lose the first fight and then win the rematch. Bisping is just underated by most fans and not taking seriously.
I think Mike wasn't taken seriously in that fight due to him habitually getting his shot at contender status then not getting the W (yes I'm aware of the line of PED users he had to face) plus him having so little time to prep. Either way that's hands down his best performance
You think he'll finish GSP?
Yea i think the size difference is gonna be a major factor and dont think GSP will be able to go the full 5 rounds. Obviously GSP hasnt really had cardio issues in the past but after this long a layoff fighting at a bigher weight against Bisping who has one of the best gas tanks in the game, i feel bisping eventually finishes him. How do you see it going?

Mike should win but I can't bet against Georges. I'm hoping with the right (more than likely very boring) game plan he can get Mike down and grind him out.
On paper everything is in Bispings favour. Active, bigger, champ, momentum while GSP is almost the opposite.
I think GSP can overcome any sort of tactical challenges as that's been his specialty. But with those knees and ring rust it's a tall order.
I'll stick with GSP UD.
