Mark Munoz
Right now, for me, I feel like I've done what it takes to get a title shot. I feel like I need someone that's going to get me there. ... I want that title. I want that title shot. Whoever is going to get me there. I know Chael and Anderson, they're tied up right now - maybe the winner of those two. I want somebody that's going to give me that pull.
Is (Michael Bisping) talking about my Chris Leben fight? Yo, I laid it down on Leben. If he's talking like that, much of the same is going to happen to him if I fought him. That's crazy! If I fought BIsping, and if he fought me the same as he fought Chael Sonnen on Fox, I would do the same to him that I did against Chris Leben - plain and simple. He wouldn't want to come out for the third-round.

Bisping has really improved but I'd have to agree with Mark.
Mark Munoz is suc a nice guy. Im looking forward to see his comeback. but I dont wanna see him fight the spider silva
Bisping is super and tough and has a far better gas tank than Munoz - Munoz can finish the race but Bisping's the front runner.
Chael struggled badly getting Bisping down and found it hard to keep him down when he got him there (except in the third) and I think Sonnen's wrestling is multiple times better than Munoz's for MMA.
Okami showed that you can shut down Munoz game if you negate his wrestling, something Bisping is very good at.
And saying he wouldn't last in there for three rounds, Munoz didn't last 3 rounds with Hamill.
That being said, I hope Mark gets a good fight in the meantime, awesome guy and great fighter who deserves another win.
Mannnn not sure that B\isping has more indurance man Ive seen Mark and Co train and mannn he might look like wearing out but the dude can do 5 rds and finish strong and sorry just dont see Bisping able to he seems to be slowing at 3rd I just dont see Bisping able to keep up with
Munoz and WISH......... I,... WE would be able to see that fight OOOHHHH
mannnn just Think Bisping couldnt would just get dominated ......
I disagree...I think Bisping would be able to pick Munoz apart on the feet, stuff most of his takedowns, and get up quickly from the rest. Unless Munoz catches him with a big shot, I think Bisping wins the decision.
since bisping took that shot off dan no 1 else has done this he did as great job against evans and rashads wrestling is 10 times better than chael and munoz
Truthfully I want to see Bisping get a tittle shot,just to see Silva pick him apart then knock him out...I know i'm an asshole lol
If someone's continually on the cusp, I feel it's probably a good idea to give them the title shot. He put on a really good show against Sonnen, and is still in that top few. I'd say give it to him if he wins his next fight or so just because he deserves it. Doesn't matter if people think he'd win.
No offense to Munoz, but he was about even in the standup with Demian Maia, whose (newly improved) stand up is still nowhere near Bisping's. He'd get outstruck easily, and I don't think he'd have any more luck with the takedown than Chael would. Also, Mark Munoz can't match Sonnen's pace. Bisping can and did. I don't think there's any way Munoz takes a decision against him. He'd need that knockout.
which he would get
Bisping should be fighting Munoz next, not Boetsch. Major F' up by UFC matchmakers.
bisping will beat either of them
lol, munoz is just another power punching american wrestler, and his mma wrestling isnt even that good (coudnlt TD okami, couldnt TD hamil, okami took him down, leben took him down).
so u are saying bisping could beat him coz i think so
This moron, nicknamed, get this: the Filipino Wrecking Machine-ha ha ha; anyway, this idiot bragged about beating a Chris Leben who couldn't beat his own sister that night. What is so special about that, Mark? What a dildo!! Obviously Leben was ill, had to work wonders just to make weight and was so fatigued at the time of the fight that Munoz didn't have any trouble finishing him off. What Munoz must not realize is we saw that fight. Anyone who knows MMA knows Leben was not 100%. He was not even 50%. The guy had no gas whatsoever, so obviuosly something went wrong during his preparation for the Munoz fight. Maybe he got back into binge drinking. Who knows. Either way, a well prepared Leben would have beat Munoz' ass. A tired Leben can't. Now we all know. Everyone except Munoz. This idiot probably thought he actually accomplished something (that Leben's little sister could have done that night). Bozo needs to stop flexing in front of that darn mirror.
chael is a better wrestler than munoz and he found it hard to wrestle bisping so, and he is bragging about beating who his last win was on leben and he didnt suprise me what so ever so bisping would destroy munoz when ever and where ever they fought and munoz is already talking a title shot dont even go their with what anderson could do to him munoz is a good fighter but not as good as he makes it out to be
