Should Bisping be considered a top contender?

I jst don't think so until he gets a least ONE ufc win under his belt, not TUF victories.

He's not a top contender until he beats some top competition.

Beating Josh Haynes doesn't make you a contender, but he could be in 6 months to a year. If he faces Schafer in November then that'll be a step above Haynes. Then if he beats Schafer he should face a guy like Gouveia or Sakara. Then he should be at the same point of the card that guys like Evans and Griffin currently are at.

No, not yet.

Lets see the guy in the octogon first! haha!

If he can get a few wins under his belt, then we can start to have a discussion. I think he has loads of talent but can he perform on the big stage...that's a whole nother subject.

I would love to see him face sakara. That would be a war.

NO! Why would he be? Cuz he won TUF 3 against a d- level fighters?
