In the superfight that everyone wanted to see, Michael Bisping says Anderson Silva would have beaten Georges St-Pierre.
Former UFC champs Silva and St-Pierre widely are considered the greatest MMA fighters of all time after reigning supreme in the middleweight and welterweight divisions, respectively. And having fought both men, Bisping has special insight on how a potential superfight could have gone.
Bisping rallied to defeat ex-middleweight king Silva in a bloody battle in 2016, which set him up for his first title shot. He knocked out Luke Rockhold to capture the title and successfully defended it against Dan Henderson. But his reign came to an end at UFC 217 when former welterweight champ St-Pierre returned from a long layoff to dethrone him and become a two-division champ. But if St-Pierre fought Silva at middleweight, Bisping leans toward “The Spider.”
