Bisping: Time to get the animal back

MMALivesHere

Middleweight contender Michael Bisping (23-5) has lost two of his last three fights in the UFC. The skid has prompted him to make wholesale changes to his approach. The Brit feels backed into a corner and he’s ready to unleash the beast against Alan Belcher (18-7) at UFC 159 on April 27. He told ESPN he planned to fight with the natural aggression that saw him win many of his earlier bouts by TKO and KO.

“I need to get my animal back. I need to go back to being a hard-**** rather than a technician. I’m going to do that with Alan Belcher. Make no mistake, round one there will be no gameplan, I’m going in there to destroy him – simple as that. People say I have no knockout power. Believe me, I have. All my first ten fights were knockouts in the first round. But I was on pure adrenaline and aggression back then, and in some ways I’ve lost that. I need to get that back. I’ll train obviously, work on my boxing and all the rest of it, but mainly, I just want to be an animal and destroy this guy … A lot of stuff has to change. I want to be world champion and it’s not happening right now. So I’m willing to admit mistakes, I’m willing to admit I’ve allowed people around me to make mistakes, and I need to quit being a **** and be a man. I need to change.”

Bisping has never been an "animal"

PunchBag

bisping will be scared in the cage, whenever he faces a powerful striker he looks uncormfortable and make no mistake belcher can ko bisping.

PoloRidah

Lol already preparing the excuses in case he does not get past the first round. He'll say:"oh I was reckless blah blah blah" if he suervives first round he'll win the decision though.

Galvanik

Bisping's counter-boxing is the only thing that's gotten him this far, he abandons that for an aggressive style and he's just gonna look bad and be uncomfortable.

Obviously he was talking about his bareknuckle underground vale tudo days before he got into mma. This is exciting news for fans and haters alike, it means he is going to go in for the finish early. Who would not want that?

I would love to see him get a stoppage to silence the haters but he has to be careful not to get reckless Belcher loves a brawl and has KO power.

I think Bisping will win this fight for sure tho.

Bisping will be on his knees to pray as he swallows a massive load of Belcher's DNA

Most UFC guys would have the same record if they started off with those 10 opponents. The only guys that don't get those easy 10 consecutive wins are those who start off with huge hype (GSP, Brock, Hunt, etc.)

I wonder if Bisping saying this has anything to do with the Diaz call. That may have inspired him to bring this new attitude to the cage. I think MMA evolved into a very tactical and methodical game, and Diaz is trying to pull it back to its roots of just being a fight between two people in a cage

Bubba_Pilks

Did he lose his gerbil again ?

I doubt it I think he just hasn't had a finish in awhile and is looking for one, people like to say he has pillow fists but even Sonnen said he hits hard and he hasn't been hurt by strikes that often so I don't believe that.

I like Bisping as a fighter,as a person he's a c×××. He will never win a belt cos you need to be able to take a punch or avoid it and he cant do neither against the very best.He'll beat Belcher and then i would love a fight against Kong as would all UK fans.

Bisping - P4P Jimmie rustler B-)

I'm pretty sure there is no DNA left because you nut huggers swallowed it up already. :p

Bisping's got this fight!

PunchBag

bisping is finally facing real competition and hes going to chain together an impressive loosing streak.

idrankyourbeer

i thought he was talking about justin biebers hamster

jayzee

This should be interesting!

KOTMF

It'll be nice for him not to face a cheater though, seems like he loses to mostly TRT/steriod abusers.

Ansem

if anything he needs to be more technical i thought. Bisping should be looking at fighters like Machida rather then Shogun due to his chin.
