UFC 110 Preview: Michael Bisping Knocking People Out In Training?

That's the word according to Fighters Only:
"Bisping has been engaging in hard sparring sessions over the last couple of weeks and our source says he "has knocked two of sparring partners out that we brought in for him. I mean clean out, proper sleepy-time knockouts" . One of those two sparring partners is known to have outweighed him considerably."
"Fighters Only has also learned that professional boxers and MMA fighters of considerable experience have been employed as sparring partners, and the reports from these closed-door sessions - which are conducted at fight or near-fight intensity - indicate that Bisping is at his all-time peak as a fighter."
Ehh...Bisping has never displayed one punch KO power. I know that's not what the article says, but it's kind of what it's implying from my interpretation. I know Wanderlei Silva's chin isn't what it used to be, but I'd be shocked to see Bisping put him away with a one hitta quitta. You buying into the hype?

i think they’re throwing out some blah blah to futile-ly try and get into Wand’s head. whatever scrub Bisping might have knocked out, not to be a jerk, but if they’re bringing in British boxers, it’s not exactly a list of worldbeaters they have to choose from….i’m not buying the hype at all. what they should be worrying about is someone breaking Bisping’s terrible habit of circling DIRECTLY into the big right hand ala Hendo.
“Pillow Fists McTeaTime”
-hilarity.

I thought there was a general unwritten gym rule to keep your mouth shut concerning knock downs and stuff like that. I don’t know, it’s one thing for a fighter to say he was knock down, submitted, etc. but talking about your sparring partners doesn’t really sit too well with me.
Do I believe the hype? Nah . . . not at all.
yeah yeah yeah . . .
yes i'm sure bisping is knocking out his sparring partners like henderson did to him. not.
war silva.
i'm all about covering the spread and moneylines. i was building a house, i don't deserve this, deserves have nothing to do with it. bang. "unforgiven"

The more I hear about Bisping, the more I wanna see “Down For The Count” receive a proper sleepy-time knockout from this guy.
