Munoz out Bisping in!

Mark Munoz has had to pull out of his UFC on Fox fight with Chael Sonnen due to injury. Replacing him is Michael Bisping! You see now I'm torn - my patriotism says support Bisping, but I don't actually like the guy and well I would like to see a rematch between Sonnen and Anderson Silva. So I don't know who I want to win? I'm sure both men will be pretty motivated to get a title shot; I think Bisping has better stand up but Sonnen's wrestling and ground and pound is excellent, so it will be a tough call.

You just beat me too it, and am in the same boat back bisping one of our own or sonnen who like the rest of the world we want to see in the cage again with the spider.

Heart Bisping and he has come on leaps and bounds but Head says Chael will take him down at ease and bash hsi head in.

If nothing else the soundbites and build up will be fantastic going back and fourth.

Will it be on FX again as this is one fight i dont want to miss.

Great news, let the trash talking begin!

Sonnen should win this, I think he'll take Bisping down fairly easily and submit or GnP him.

Bisping has good stand up but no real power but Sonnen has an excellent chin = bad news for Bisping.

What is Bisping's submission game like?

Sonnen has shown in the past he can be submitted when he is in top position - think this is the only chance Bisping has of winning this fight?

well judging from his win record on ufc.com he's only won once through submission - the vast majorty are KO/TKO.

Sonnen by man sausage slap to the face section.

I'm also split on this for the same reason as you lot (Patriotism or Silva and Sonne Rematch), plus i'm a fan of both.

One thing we can guarantee though, the build up trash talking with these two should be good, LOL!

I edited my original post as I realized I had spelt Munoz incorrectly.

Bisping has underated grappling imo. He may only have one sub win but he's never submitted himself and has never been truly outgrappled despite being in against some good wrestlers Rashad, Dan Miller, Matt Hammill. Still I think Chael will win using his wresting.

I'm really happy about this. Bisping and Sonnen are the 2 MW I want to see fight and beat Anderson.

Bisping imo would give Anderson a better fight than most of Andersons recent opponents(exept Sonnen). But would have pretty much no chance of winning.

Sonnen is the main guy I want to fight Anderson. He is probably my favourite person in mma right now. I'd love for him to become the champ. Best trash talker in the sport and backs it up.

Agree RE Bispings grappling. He has already got a good takedown defense and no doubt will be working on this aspect in training.

I don't like Chael at all. He is pretty one dimentional and if he doen't make you fight his fight, he does tend to struggle. But he did look impressive against Brian Stann.

If Bisping can keep this standing and land cleanly enough to get Chael's respect, he can win, but if he gets taken down on a regular basis, I can only see Chael dry humping to a UD victory.

Chael Sonnen wont be dry humping to victory - he'll batter him to a pulp on his way to a UD

I think Sonnen should win but Bisping if/when Bisping is taken down he'll go for the submission as Sonnen's submission defence is appalling.
