Michael Bisping talks Chael Sonnen match, trash-talk, and more

"The key to this fight is me fighting my fight. That's what I'm focusing on. I'm not focusing on what he can do, but focusing on what I can do. That's a mistake I started making a little while ago in my UFC career, I started worrying too much about what my opponent was gonna' do. Now I'm going to focus on what I can do." -- Michael Bisping

Fight Nerd reporter Hiroko Yamamura spoke with Michael Bisping at the UFC on Fox 2 press workouts yesterday to get some info on his bout with Chael Sonnen and more. Bisping spoke about the differences in fighting Sonnen over his original opponent, Demian Maia, and why changing the opponent is not as drastic as some people thought. He also touched on his submission and boxing skills, his response to Chael's trash-talk and the reaction of his fans and haters, and if he had his chance to get his chicago hot dog and deep dish pizza, among a ton of other topics in this roundtable interview!

@Galwaybanana yeah but we don't need a knock out, just bisping to win by points would be enough!

HAHAHA that was so funny how he kept stumbling over himself when asked "When was the last time you knocked somebody out?" then diverted it to Chael. Chael's not the striker here, Michael! Although, you have to give Bisping (or Pisspee, as Leben would so delicately put it lol) credit, people talk how he doesn't have KO power. I guess he doesn't really, but aside from the fact anything can happen, he beats people up! Majority of his wins come by (T)KO, even in the UFC. That being said, Chael wins!
