Michael Bisping: 'Rampage thinks I will beat Wanderlei easily'

Mma_michael_bisping1_576_medium

Props: Telegraph.co.uk

Quoteworthy:

"We have been discussing tactics for the fight, little tips and discussions about Wanderlei’s movement and shots, and Rampage thinks I will beat Wanderlei easily. He has inspired me and has kept confidence in the camp high. I have to keep my composure in this fight. We know what Wanderlei does – he throws aggressive shots with reckless abandon, and I’m psyched to put my game plan into practise. I have nothing but respect for Wanderlei, but I do believe I’m a better technical fighter and more well-rounded. I was very happy when it was announced that my opponent would be Wanderlei Silva. In fact, there was a lot of talk of it being at UFC 105, and I was delighted. I want to prove I am at this level. I made a mistake against Dan Henderson, but that is the level I want to fight at – and I want membership to that level by beating fighters like Wanderlei Silva."

Michael Bisping gets some more encouraging words from his camp as his confidence grows heading into his pending middleweight clash with Wanderlei Silva at UFC 110 from the Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia, on Feb. 21. "The Count" has enlisted the help of friend and training partner Quinton Jackson for the inside scoop on "The Axe Murderer's" gameplan. "Rampage" has a three-fight history with the Brazilian, knocking him out at UFC 92 after getting clowned twice under the PRIDE banner. Will his knowledge be enough to put Bisping on top? Or is Silva going to end this one violently?

How do they even talk to each other? I usually can’t understand what either one is saying, especially Pissping. Hope Wandy decapitates him.

Rampage is such a great coach (see last season of TUF)

Anyway, I am really hoping Wandy beats this prick. But if Wandy loses, he needs to retire. IMO, he is way past his prime, which is why Rampage was able to KO him.

Seriously...?

This is the biggest problem with this guy – his ego and all the people that feed into it.

Granted, he dismantled Kang, which no one not drinking the Bisping Kool-aide saw coming. But all you ever hear out of this guy is how fast and how powerful he is and how is standup is so strong. Like when he was gonna be Hendo and had his face removed from his head.

It’s the fighters which are held down to earth which continue to be dominant. This is the last thing any training partner should be saying – oh you’re gonna kill him. Till you get killed by the guy that made Page his bitch.

Gonna love watching his face get removed 2.0.

by Luppers on Feb 10, 2010 9:34 AM EST reply actions  

you guys are getting brainwashed

Listen I don’t wanna sit here and sound like Hendo’s win wasn’t impressive. Or like I’m a Michael fan, cause I’m not saying either. At all.

But, Bisping isn’t nearly as horrid as you all say. And I think some of you would benefit greatly to watch the Bisping/Hendo fight again. That fight went almost 10 mins before the KO and it really wasn’t a one sided beat down. Until the big punch it was a lot of circling with jabs. That’s it.

Ya the KO was very impressive, but its not like he worked him over then did that while Michael was barely hanging in there. Bisping will most likely lose but I’m far from ’count’ing him out. He can pitter patter his way to a decision.

even funnier is that you somehow think im unaware that he was circling the wrong way.

You think I didn’t know that? You think I didn’t here his corner say that after the 1st? Or during the entire 2nd? Or on every thread after the punch?

You think he hasn’t Learned that now? Do you think he’ll do it again? Its weird how a guy can type that he’s in NO WAY saying Michael wins the fight for sure or that I’m picking him, yet still gets jumped on like I threw out a nonsense comment like “Michael is gonna kill Wandy easily”.

I’m just not looking at this one sidedly and giving Michael a 0% chance like all of you. More of a 20-25% chance. I don’t see why this is so hard to accept as my opinion.

ugh ill start my post with whaaaatever i want.

I don’t think Bisping is the worst fighter in UFC history. But if I were new to the sport and came on here I’d definitely think that. Just cause you say he ‘SUX’ I don’t jump on the wagon and write him off.

by daniel worby on Feb 10, 2010 11:24 AM EST via mobile up reply actions  

I'm with Worby

most of you guys are brainwashed.

Wanderlai has lost 5 out of his last 6 fights. 3 of them being by KO. Wanderlai is still one of my idols, and will always have the utmost respect for him but lets be real here. His days as an elite fighter are numbered. His body has been through hell.

It seems like everyone is blind about bisping. I really don’t see how 1 poor performance makes him such a terrible fighter. Bisping is no walk over. He’s on top of his game. If you’re not impressed by the way he came back after getting decapitated by Henderson, losing the first round to Kang..to on and pummelling him into a TKO. Than there is no need in ever discussing MMA.

Its also funny how you hate on somebody because of where he was born. very ignorant. typical red state American.

by dkiller on Feb 10, 2010 1:16 PM EST up reply actions  

Gotta say Worby has a point...

Guys, I REALLY dislike Bisping, but Worby’s got a point. First off, as much as I hate to say it, Bisping IS more well rounded. I wouldn’t be too surprised to see him taking Wandy down in this fight and working the ground game. Also, Wandy’s punches have lost a lot of speed and power. He used to get away with his crazy style because he was fast and strong as hell. Now, he looks halfway to Coleman status. He hasn’t looked good at all lately, and has dropped 5 of his last 6(that’s half of his career losses if you’re counting). Granted, I don’t believe believe Bisping is as good as any of the people Wandy lost to. As much as I hope to see Wandy knock Bisping’s head off, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to see Bisping decision this one. If he shows up looking like he did against Kang, I think a lot of you are in for a rude awakening.

by MBOW on Feb 10, 2010 11:11 AM EST up reply actions  

Nah..

He’s training with Page on how to beat Wand; everything I’ve heard could just be posturing but it sounds like he thinks he’s going to go toe to toe with Wand like Page did and KO him. Problem with that plan is, he doesn’t have the power to put it into action and if he opts for the obvious which is circling/jabbing his way to a decision I can’t see him not getting clipped at least 1 time in 15 minutes of fighting. That and we’re all assuming that the Wand we’re going to see is the Sub Par; “shell of his former self” fighter (funny how everyone STILL picks him to win at that), when in reality he could have the best night of his life.. You never know.

Wand doesn't know how to cut weight lol

I don’t think he’s really that good at it; so my guess is this time he’s probably walking around close to 185 lbs to begin with.

That's Bispings only way to win against anyone in the top 10 though.

He can’t knock anyone out and has mediocre ground skills. His only chance to win big fights is by decision? And you have faith in that game plan? I have watched the Hendo/Bisping fight a couple times, I’m not enthused about Micheal’s chances of hanging in there every fight. He’s good at everything, but not great at anything. If he can’t end fights against these killers in his division he will have to resort to his run and jab offense. I have zero faith in that offense working against the top guys at 185.

Any guy with KO power is more accurate.

Anyone with a good chin and KO power will kill Bisping. They don’t even have to be in the top 10. Wand is definitely top 10 MW in the UFC.

I don't think it applies in this fight though

Most fights I agree, but this is such a mismatch that it won’t matter. I can’t see any way for Bisping to win this fight. He won’t be more active than Wand and he can’t stop him. I don’t even see how Bisping makes it to the decision, let alone win the decision.

Thank you lol. That’s all I’m saying. None of what I said was to lead anyone to believe I think Mike’s destined to be champ for fuck sakes. No I don’t think his style would even give him a chance in hell against Andy. But we’re not talking bout his future. Just an upcoming fight in which I give him a slight chance at winning.
Which is more than I can say for most.

That could possibly happen.

But the chances are so low that I will stick to the conventional pick in this fight. It’s not as if Bisping has good take downs or anything. I think Wand will be fine and that Bisping isn’t in the same league as any of the good MW’s.

Exactly! The interview was very well said and he didn’t say anything that a fighter shouldn’t going into a fight. He was very respectful.

And yes, these guys are all just jumping on all his words and this has happened daily since the big punch. It’ll never stop. I don’t like mikey but I’m not being daft about his chances.

I like Bisping

Only time I even rooted against him was against Hendo and of course coming up here against Wand. He’s just not a powerful striker; look at the guys that have stopped Wand; they got bricks in their gloves (or kicks); CC, Page and Hendo. Rich won a decision but he ate some good shots in that fight that almost put him away. That pitter patter style just won’t work here, he’s going to have to plant his feet and exchange at some point to get the decision and that’s when he’s eating canvas IMO.

I see it the same way.

And I would probably pick against Wand in most fights. This one is Tailor made for Wand.

OD is incredibly handsome, coureagous and self sacrificing in his endeavour to educate me on MMA and evolve my primitive understanding of the sport; I salute you sir.

Well

I don’t think it’s that crazy to think that Bisping will beat Wand. Watch how Wand’s been fighting since 2006. No knees (for the most part), wild looping punches and (in the case of UFC 99) a bad gas tank. His chin doesn’t even look that good at this point. Expect Bisping to circle and jab with some leg kicks thrown in there. Also, Bisping really isn’t that bad on the ground. Go ask Kang who couldn’t capitalize on Bisping’s “weak” ground game at UFC 105.

It's not that he doesn't try to use the knee's..

It’s that he’s gained so much noteriety and there’s so much film on him that his opponents know to stay the hell away from his clinch. These guys work hard to stay out of that situation.

nobody is hating on the brits.

just hating on the fact that this guy has been hand fed most of his opponents to build the sport in the uk.

I'm always thinking one step ahead. Like a carpenter . . . who makes stairs.

I wouldnt say he has an easy win coming...

I will be the first to say that I am a fan of Bisping. Normally, he is a smart fighter with a good stick and move tactic. He was scared in the Hendo fight plain and simple. He is one of those fighters that will be around for some time because of his style. He doesnt take very much punishment and usually pulls out the win. I like that in a fighter. For everyone to say that he doesnt have a chance is ridiculous as well as anyone that says he sucks… His only two losses come from guys that are former champs and who fight, normally, at a higher weight class. Out of 18 wins, 12 are from a tko/ko and 4 subs. That is 16 out of 18 wins coming by a finish. Thats not too bad in my book. Do I think this is a very tough fight for Bisping? I do for sure. Do I think he will win? No, I dont. I do think he can win if he comes in with the right plan and sticks too it tho

Bisping will win

If he fights smart. Working heavily on footwork and takedowns would be smart planning.

by theworldismine on Feb 10, 2010 11:02 AM EST reply actions  

Bisping HAS to stick and move!

And, he better get the MOVE part down perfectly! Trading with Wandy will earn him a dirt nap! The Only way he can deal with Wandy’s aggression is to stay away from it! That being said, I got Wandy by 2nd rnd KO!

by Dana's a Crossdresser on Feb 10, 2010 11:11 AM EST reply actions  

Wandy will smash you!!!!!

If Bisping is being coached by Rampage he better just throw in the towel! All the guys that had rampage for a coach lost!!!

Bisping wins this

But people will still say wand will win his next fight “which might be outside the ufc” by BRUTAL KO!!

by Lester The Pimp on Feb 10, 2010 12:13 PM EST reply actions  

Bisping sucks

i used to think he was the most overrated fighter in the ufc but i think people are starting to realize how bad he is. i know wandy hasnt been the same fighter in a while (1-5 last 6 fights) but he’ll beat bisping unless bisping runs away the entire fight like a bitch which is a definite possibility. Im hoping for a brutal knockout for wandy so he can get back on track and get in the title hunt he’s been through a lot of brutal fights but he’s still only 33

WARNING MELTDOWN IN PROGRESS:-some of you idiots obviously do not know your arse from your f'ing elbow...

never before in my life have i read such shit from so called mma enthusiasts. “oh bispsing’s jj is crap and wanderlei’s is fantastic, wanderlei has a great ground game and bisping hasn’t” when was the last time you saw wandy execute a submission attempt, when was the last time you saw wandy in a dominating position on the ground? when was the last time you saw wandy on the ground, apart from on his back staring up at the lights. i love wanderlei to bits, he is one of if not the biggest pioneer of the sport, but, he got just as viciously ko’d by hendo as bisping did. and omg rampage should be shot with shit for hitting wandy when he was down, hendo did it to bisping and to wandy, so get out of your self righteous church of mma pulpit and look at the facts before you post such idiotic, moronic, uneducated comments…….you lot boil my piss sometimes……oh wandy is definately going to win cos he trains with a snorkel on…..and for the most part bisping is going to lose and is hated cos he’s not from the good ol’ us of a. i bet your fucking troops weren’t saying that when he visited them in afghanistan with bj and the rest of them, while you lot are sitting wanking infront of your computer screens, (apart from sarah).
