UFC Quick Quote: Michael Bisping would have been a fool to turn down Chael Sonnen fight

Photo

"Dana hadn't even finished saying Munoz was out before I was planning how to beat Sonnen in my head. I've accepted fights on short notice for the UFC throughout my career, but this one is a massive, massive chance for me, and I am very grateful to Dana, (UFC matchmaker) Joe Silva and the UFC. I was already hugely grateful to be asked to fight on FOX, but to fight Chael on FOX ... well, there are hundreds of fighters who would kill for this opportunity, and I would have had to be a fool to turn it down. ... Next week, I'm ready to go all guns blazing. A fight is a fight, and at this level anything can happen, but all things being equal, Chael Sonnen cannot knock me out. He can't submit me, either. The worst that is going to happen is that he will outpoint me and, if I don't beat him, I didn't deserve a title shot against Anderson Silva anyway."

-- Michael Bisping writes in to Fox Sports on how he went from fighting Demian Maia in the opening contest at UFC on Fox 2 to moving up to the co-main event slot against Chael Sonnen in a number one contender bout for the middleweight title. With apologies to the injured Mark Munoz, "The Count" always felt he should have been in this spot, so it all works out in the end. Now the brash Brit has finally met his match when it comes to trash talk and despite the fact that the fight is just over one week away, expect these two to start dropping bombs on one another in the media before they do so inside the Octagon at the United Center on Jan. 28, 2012, in Chicago, Illinois. Whose moving on to fight Anderson Silva for the 185-pound strap later this year, Maniacs?

i agree, also well said by bisping. if he loses the fight he didnt deserve to fight silva

That's what I said...

2 wks ago I said this would be an interesting matchup. I wish it was 5 rounds though.
It will be interesting to see what kind of strategy is implemented or at least attempted on both sides. I don’t see Chael losing this but it’s going to be a war regardless!

Is it for sure not 5 rounds?

Only reason it shouldn’t be is Bisping’s short notice since he was scheduled for 3 rounds. If it really is 3 rounds, I’m very surprised that the UFC didn’t try to deliberately do something like this to get Hendo/Lil Nog to fight a 3-rounder.

my bad

had a brain cramp. Forgot this wasn’t the main event. Pretty damn good fight for a co-main event on free tv.

As for Hendo/Nog, nothin’ wrong with an elite fighter having a tune up fight to stay active, especially to avenge a loss. Hendo said it himself that he wanted more time to train for a 5 round fight.

I just wish Bisping had time to train for Chael instead of Maia.

It’s unfortunate to see him come in unprepared but then again Chael was also training for Munoz.

My heart is saying bisping

But my head says chael .

Bisping won’t gas like Munoz and is well rounded .

But chael is stronger and well conditioned with better wrestling than bisping has ever seen .

Chael is weak to subs but the last time bisping subbed anyone was in 2005 and that wasn’t in the UFC .

I hope this is just a good fight and it will be , i just don’t want chael to win . It’s not cause he’s a threat to silva but because I’m tired of every other post being about him .

As I have said we are more Americans than Asians

Although we have some resemblance with our Asian neighbors like Thai, Vietnamese, and Malaysians our value systems, preferences and tastes are more geared towards Americans. No wonder why the Bourne Legacy is currently being filmed here. We love anything that is American (or foreign to that extent) and look down on our products as inferior.

I will not say it is shitty here but we are not yet comparable to Malaysia, Singapore and other more developed countries like Japan and Korea. Although I would say that we have very good tourist spots here. You have to come here to appreciate our tourist spots (beaches, bitches, nature, among others).

As for you having worked with a Filipino, I will not be surprised. Everyday, we are sending hundreds and thousands of Filipinos outsie the country. Such that 10 million (10%) of our population are outside the Philippines.

Bisping

I love Bisping. He has a great killer’s instinct and puts on a show. I had thought him to be one of the most mentally tough fighters in the UFC, prior to his fight with Hendo. Hendo showed the world that Bisping can crack under pressure and forget the most basic strategies. I hope that the Bisping of old shows up and puts on a show.

I’m very glad to see that Maia still has a fight. I’m looking forward to him bouncing back after a first round drubbing of Munoz, only to get out wrestled while exhausted for a lame second and third round.

If only...

We need a month or more to warm this one up. I hope that we see some of the best out of these two prior to the fight. I can NOT wait for the stare down… I’m getting chills thinking about it. But, I wish we had a full video doc supporting the build up to this fight. Can you imagine? Spits-bing vs. Chael “the insane one” Sonnen. We missed out as fans by this short notice bs.

Ground and Pound vs. Lay and Pray

Sonnen has sick GnP. Sick. Like, hurts your sides when you see him land bombs from the top position. Bisping is in for the fight of his life. I don’t think we’ve seen a wrestler or a fighter of Sonnen’s caliber face Bisping yet. I’m excited for this fight, but I don’t want either of these guys to lose… honestly. I love Bisping’s style. He’s not a knockout artist, but he still gets in there and fights these guys that are and usually comes out on top. And Sonnen… well, he does more than speak for himself. Either way, the UFC is going to attract more PPV buying fans with this one.

Could not have been said better

Michael Bisping hit the nail on the head. What an amazing match up. Bisping has the absolute best mindset going into this fight, and hopefully some of the trailer trash trolls that live on this website can own up to that fact this time around. Now, I’m a huge Bisping fan… but I don’t see him beating Chael. I think Chael is truthfully the best MW in the world right now and only lacking the title belt to prove it. Bisping can’t knock Chael out, their cardio is equal… but Bisping’s TDD can only last so long against Sonnen. No matter what the outcome, I believe this will be one of the best fights in the history of the company. Bisping is in my top 5 for a reason.

Yep, I agree entirely with what Bisping said

And I have always been a fan and never once joined the ’I hate Bisping" brigade.

In response to your sig:

1. Georges St. Pierre
2. Anderson Silva
3. Alistair Overeem
4. Clay Guida
5. Michael Bisping

I just found out from myself that those are my fave 5 fighters actually, so thank you.

Up until now I have just known what I think (know) are the top 5 pound for pound, and other than that I just know who I like but besides knowing that Anderson and Gsp were number one and two I never knew the rest. I also would include Jon Jones and King Mo and Junior dos Santos in my top ten

Alot is made of his poor performance against miller but I think the big lay off filming TUF played a big part in that. It was the same back in the Hendo fight, Bisping is a better fighter hen he stays active, I remember thinking he looked very big during TUF and thought he might struggle with his cardio against miller ( lucky miller struggled worse) and it may not have made much difference to the outcome but he looked seriously ill at UFC 100 ( and that was even before the H-bomb )

by eagzy on Jan 18, 2012 5:41 AM EST via mobile reply actions  

For people saying Bisping has never fought a wrestler like Chael...

Don’t forget he fought Rashad and only lost a very close decision, so this one won’t be as clear cut as some are making out. Bisping is excellent at avoiding damage from the bottom and while hes not renowned for his submissions hes more than capable of catching Chael being overly aggressive.

I think Sonnen wins this by overwhelming Bisping standing and in the clinch because Bisping can never seem to stay composed when hes constantly pressured. If Chael takes him down though then I honestly think we could see an upset.

by Perksy on Jan 18, 2012 7:16 AM EST reply actions  

I didn't forget...

My response is 1. Chael has far superior striking to Rashad and 2. Chael’s a more accomplished wrestler than Rashad. Rashad’s got sick power, but he throws hook after hook.

Bisping says chael can’t knock him out or submit him but he didn’t say chael can’t out wrestle him and I think he knows that’s a real possibility that’s why he says worst that can happen is he’ll lose a decision

just to stir up the pot. Ive seen Bisping ko’d about a million times now with the infamous .gif. I wonder if Chael wouldn’t feel the need to shit talk after he is the champ tho.. meh it should be good either way.

I have a feeling that Silva is rooting for Bisping

He already took the worst Chael could give him and still won by finish. I believe he doesn't care at all who wins here.

In fact I think he would have been rooting against Munoz because they are friends and he doesn’t unnecessarily want to fight him.
