Bisping: I deserve UFC hall of fame, but I’m too embarrassed to ask for it

[La Paix]

His credentials certainly earn him consideration. “The Count” did just about everything he set out to accomplish in his mixed martial arts (MMA) career, starting with the glass trophy on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) season three.

Just don’t expect him to lobby for a spot in the hallowed hall.

“It’s not something I’m campaigning for or anything like that,” Bisping told MMAnytt. “That’s not something you campaign for. That’s embarrassing. It’s up to the UFC to recognize that. I’d like to think so, I’ve put the work in and I think I deserve it but that’s down to the UFC.”

Stephan Bonnar is in the UFC Hall of Fame. I'm pretty sure if I showed them my ticket stub to UFC 136, I could get in.

 

[RaginCajun]

Let him in...he has paid in damage...

 

[Howard Moon]

Sure, it's not like it has any significance. It's not like it's voted on by knowledgeable people or has any actual criteria for being admitted. All it means is you didn't piss off Egg.

 

[Wild]

He won’t have to ask for it. He’s a guarantee to be inducted.

 

[Mix6APlix]

Asking for it by saying he isn't asking for it imo.

Yerp.

Also nobody gives a flying shit about the UFC hall of fame.

not now but down the line, it might


Bisping should be in the UFC hall of fame, been a TUF winner, champ, holds the record (3way tie) for most wins in the UFC

^and the recipient of the biggest gifts in the octagon.

Surely a HOF should be reserved for people who have definitely retired. With the way it's going Bisp will be back in the ring by 2025.

 

[jimmy boogaloo]

stupid article title, it implies that he desperately wants a spot in there, but can't bring himself to ask. which is different to his true position

I don’t mind if he goes into the hall of fame but he was definitely gifted decisions against:

Elvis sinocic
Matt hamill
Chris leben
Anderson Silva
Dan Henderson

Those are not able to be debated.........ever......pure fix from the judging table

He had definitely received preferential treatment before legitimately winning the title.

Click bait title. He was actually being humble for a change

Oh, didn’t read it

 

[Sex Chicken]

If Matt Hammil doesn’t get in, he doesn’t get in.

 

[Jehannum]

click-bait, at no point does he say what is in the headline.

He put a clinic on Chris Leben, jesus fucking christ, and he outpointed Dan Hendo too, you don't get 10-8s for a KD if you do nothing else and get beat up throughout the round lol. Silva he beat according to the referee and the judges, the only issue to me was the flying knee call, but if Anderson had stopped pretending he couldn't understand english he would've come down off the cage instead of giving Bisping all that time to recover

Sinocic ... I'll watch it again to see but you have no arguments from me on the Hamill decision, was like Mayweather vs McGregor

Nope

 

[Jehannum]

so annoyed me seeing someone giving Leben that fight. WTF

aggression is not considered a factor unless they are even in the striking and Bisping landed so many more shots. It's insulting to counter-strikers with solid footwork to suggest they aren't allowed to win fights if the opponent moves forward and throws his hands up in the air occasionally Leben definitely had his moments but he was outclassed over the course of each round except the first. Some were giving him round 3 because of a TD but he got hit with twice as many power shots and didn't do anything with the takedown anyway, rd1 was Lebens best rd by far and he got taken down too so there goes the "scoring for TD's" argument to help Leben out lol.

 

[Jehannum]

29-28 and 30-27 twice seem like perfectly reasonable scorecards for that fight

 

[Jehannum]

Nope

 

[Robbie Hart]

@Zeph let me know how you think he won any of those fights I name........you and and your drunk ass mother fucking ratIngs all the time
