How is Bisping the favorite? Kang arguably has better punches (albeit lesser power) than Henderson, as well as an undeniably superior ground game. The only thing here is the reach and I don’t think that’s sufficient justification. Alan Belcher also had a lot of distance on Denis and Kang was able to slip several punches (rather nicely, I might add) and land good combinations inside.

I see Bisping fearing the takedown and pressure of Kang. He’ll find himself back-pedaling as he did in his last fight, and he’ll either find himself on the bottom for 3 rounds if that’s Kang’s game plan, or get battered.

My bad… had the +/- mixed up. Fixed.

Kang’s problem is always his defense but i dont think he has to worry about getting submitted or knocked out by Bisping which should let have his way.
