Default Bisping vs McCarthy confirmed

Bisbing is confirmed to be fighting Charles McCarthy.

Bisping-McCarthy Set for March in London

Not sure how I feel about this one. McCarthy has never really wowed me as a fighter.

Thats what i thought mate.

I havent seem McCarthy fight so cant really judge , How ever will be wanting Bisping to win, And will bet on him too. Based on what i know/seen looks like Bisping's TakedownSubmisson Defense will have to top notch!

I wouldn't bet on Bisping for the simple fact his odds will be like .20 lol he will be a definite favorite in this fight.

How the hell has Bisping gone from fighting Rashad Evans in a ppv main event to fighting a guy that alot of people [including me] havnt even heard of ? I know nothing about mccarthy so i can't predict the fight but from what ive read he has very very very little chance of winning by ko, submission then maybe its possible but im thinking that Bisping will be too big and too strong for him.

Bisping by spinning back kick ala David Loiseau! (one of my favorite finishes I've seen)

This fight will be alot like the Bisping-Sinosic fight. Captain Miserable (McCarthy) will want this fight on the ground at all costs. If he gets it there, he'll be dangerous even from his back. Elvis had Bisping in trouble with a nasty tight Kimura cinched in at one point. McCarthy can be pretty slick on the mat and it will be interesting to see how Bisping handles his first ever weight cut to 185. If he's drained from the cut, McCarthy could score the upset. But its highly unlikely as Bisping will want to rebound from his loss and consecutive underwhelming appearances in the Octagon.

This fight will be closer than a lot think. With McCarthy's prowess on the mat, like Gygax pointed out, and Bisping having a habit of getting in trouble on the ground, this might very well be a win for McCarthy.

Some people here haven't a clue about sarcasm. McCarthy has ZERO Wins via KO, and he hasn't fought top shelf talent, either.

Am I the only one here who is underwhelmed by the competition McCarthy has beaten? Gideon Ray is the only guy he's beaten that I've heard of, and Mike Van Meer (his only other Win in the last TWO years) has a stellar 21-19 record (this is sarcasm). McCarthy hasn't fought in well over a year. UFC likely has inside info that leads them to believe Charles will be a "Can" with a decent looking record who will give "The Count" little trouble.

Bisping wins by KO in this MW cookie setup.

I was thinking the same thing. I will have to go with Bisping on this fight. I will be rooting for McCarthy though. I will probably be rooting for whoever fights Bisbing.
