If it weren't for a rare disqualification loss to Matt Hamill in his fourth UFC fight, Jones' resume would be even longer. But that's the way the sport goes and anyone who watched the fight knows that the blemish on his record from that day means little.

Anybody think Belcher will give Bisping some trouble Saturday night? There's been so much nonsense talk between them in the build up. Bisping could be looking past him...? Dangerous.


Bisping earlier:

"A win over me for Alan Belcher will be by far the biggest win of his pathetic career. There you go. No one gives a s--- about Alan Belcher."

"Hey, bro – I ain't going to lose to you, man," "It's in the bag. It's a formality. I've just got to show up, slap your little face, take my check and go home."

"I'm a natural competitor," "A win over Alan Belcher puts me back in the win column. It's a win over a top 10 opponent. And it gets me back in the mix for the title shot. That's what I want. And as long as there's life in my body, I will continue to try and get that title shot. I want to be the world champion."

Alan Belcher 9-5 in UFC

Style: Kickboxing, Taekwondo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Judo

Black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
1st degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do
Black belt in Duke Roufus Kickboxing
Black belt in Hayastan (Grappling)
Black belt in Judo

25 fights 18 wins 7 losses
KO 9-2
Sub 7-1
Dec 2-4

His opponent list says he should be fighting a top fighter who will test him to see if he's got what it takes to go to the next level, Bisping is the perfect opponent. Belcher by decision I think.

This is exactly what I said would happen to Michael Bisping after the Vitor loss, just like Martin Kampmann he'll now become a test fighter for fighters looking to step up a grade.

Cheers mate. Not sure about this fight? Bisping only gets beat by the top lads... Evans, Henderson, Wand, Belfort, Sonnen. He should have plenty for Belcher if he's on song, different story if he's looking past him. Doubt he will be though, probs just talk!

Remember when Tyson Fury called out Cain Velasquez....?

"We'll make a deal" says Dana White.
