I think his ego doesn't allow him to be aware that he was handed tons of fights to build him up to the U.K. audience.
He is not even top 5 in the division and the top ten can probably beat him on any given night.
Still good to know he's a solid guy in person.

Agreed, agreed, and agreed. He's Dana's cash cow in the UK. Zuffa doesn't want to risk having him get destroyed by Sonnen, Anderson, Okami...etc.
Random observation...dude was pretty big in person. Like, surprisingly big. I've met several other fighters when they're not in camp, and none of them carried around as much weight as Bisping seemed to. I'm a reasonably lean 200lbs, so I'm guessing he was a solid 215-220.
