PrintMichael Bisping speaking to Setanta Sports on the Dan Henderson fight:
“Going into the fight I’m very confident. I know he’s going to lose.“I’m going to be too big for him, too fast, his striking is nowhere near my level, all I’ve got to watch out for is his big right hand out of the clinch.
“As long as I avoid that, it’s my fight to lose.”
Well I don't know about him being the bigger fighter. I think they are probably right around the same size, but the strength advantage leans to Henderson in my opinion. However, I do think Bisping has a more refined striking game as he has a more varied attack. It appears that Bisping has the right gameplan to win this fight. If he can stay off his back(avoiding the clinch) and keep that big right hand from Henderson at bay, he'll win the decision.

Sounds to me like he wants to point Hendo out like he did Lebben. If I wasn’t going to be paying for it on PPV I wouldn’t really care, but being that it’s money out of my pocket and it’s soaking up prelim time.. well, it’s one more reason for me not to like Bisping.

I think we are going to see Hendo dish out a ground and pound UD
...some call me "el mexicutioner"...
Yeah, probably. I don’t think we’ve really seen anyone go for a solid takedown on Bisping lately, and he’s got a solid enough chin that he’s not going to go out unless Henderson unloads a big right on him. With that being said, I would just as happily take a first round KTFO ;)

Bisping loses this fight ANYwhere outside of the UK where he gets his highway robbery decisions (Leben and Hamill – which EVEN THE UK fans booed in disgust). Hendo’s fought a list of greats and near-great fighters…..who has Bisping fought?
Gatti. Dekkers. Pele. Aoki. Kang. Vanderlei.

Right
However, Henderson hasn’t look the greatest in his last few outings….either.

Well yeah, but look who he’s faught. Franklin, Anderson Silva, Jackson and Wanderlei Silva are/were top five in their classes at the time, and Rousimar Palhares… well, if he had tried to take Palhares down for some GNP, he would’ve gotten an arm broken off.

I used to like Bisping…….but after a string of shitty performances, not so much. I do think that Kelvin has a point in that Hendo has looked his best in his last few fights either. That coupled with Bisping rising to the occasion maybe just ONCE, could make this an interesting fight. Bisping should have some length on him, so if he uses that well on his feet, it might help.
