What's Next For Michael Bisping After KO Loss To Dan Henderson At UFC 100?
Michael Bisping reflects on his KO loss to Dan Henderson at UFC 100:
I honestly don’t know what happened to me out there. I will just have to accept what the organizers say in their rules about when I fight next and take it on the chin. But I do know that I have the ability to bounce right back and succeed in my aim of lifting the world title. Henderson won it fair and square and I have nothing but praise for him. I have seen people like my training partner ‘Rampage’ Jackson lose fights in one or two rounds and still go on to become one of the best light-heavyweight fighters of them all, so I am not disheartened in any way.
Even though he almost got beheaded at UFC 100, Michael Bisping still has a couple of things going for him.
- He lost to a highly ranked MW
- It's the first devastating loss of his young career and he has time to bounce back
However, it'll be interesting to see just exactly how he bounces back and who the UFC decides to match him up with next. They are either going to try and slowly rebuild him, or throw him right back in the mix against a legitimate opponent. My guess would be to put him back in there with some middle tier fighters. There are fighters out there like Chael Sonnen, Dan Miller, and Thales Leites in which Bisping could fight and with a win get a little credibility back. If he can't beat them, then that just further proves that he isn't as good as he thought he was. Who would you like to see Bisping matched up with next?

Belcher would be good. Also, the loser of Marquardt-Maia. Mike is still a HUGE draw in the U.K. and has time to keep getting better.

Good call on Belcher. I agree with Slick Rick…I was thinking Maia/Marquardt. The only problem with Maia or Marquardt is I think they will take their time re-building Bisping. Chances are you’re going to see him against an up and comer or TUF guy.

yeah they’ll find some guys that Bisping can beat and probably slowly build him back…it’s kind of like that Forrest Griffin loss to Jardine…they’ll bring in someone Hector Ramirez style for Bisping to look good against…Belcher being a very good pick too…

I heard Cote lobbying for Bisping to lose so they could fight…I hope that ain’t the headliner though….

105 is supposed to be a Spike show on tape delay from Manchester, i think we will get a card with all UK fighters against fighters from other countries
Bisping v Cote, Hardy, Wilkes, Pearson, Kelly, Taylor, Etim and Opizcak will probably all be on the card
