"I was listening to Wanderlei talk about how he’ll use the Henderson blueprint to beat me and knock me out... well I am going to use the Henderson blueprint to knock him out. Henderson knocked him out just as badly as he did me."-- Michael Bisping talks about the "perfect preparation" for facing Wanderlei Silva in Sydney.
"I was embarrassed, I was humbled by Henderson – knocked out in front of millions of people - and I took a good hard look at myself and realised I needed to change a few things in my defence."
"I’m extremely grateful to Rampage [Jackson] for coming over to Widnes for the last week of my camp in the UK, and for coming to Australia for two weeks and agreeing to work my corner on the night."
"We have a clear game plan but discussions and tips from Rampage, about Wanderlei’s movement and shots, have inspired me and kept confidence high. I’ve also sparred with Rampage, who is a heavy puncher, and that has given me confidence. Rampage thinks I will beat Wanderlei easily."

Bisping talks like having Rampage in his corner will help
screaming “GET HIM OFF YOU” “TAKE HIM DOWN” “PUNCH HIM!!!” etc. isn’t exactly top flight coaching. In fact, I would not have even mentioned it, but maybe Mike was so embarrassed about the KO that he didn’t even watch TUF 10.

please wanderlei
go back old school and muy tai clinch this clown back to england
Note to Bisping: When it comes fight time, training partners are the most honest people in the world. They will never blow smoke directly up you arse to try to give you the confidence you need to step into the cage. When your mother tells you that you are a handsome young man, the your shit will no longer stink. When you are sparing with a gym owner that eats your lunch on a regular basis and you knock him around a bit and its two weeks before a fight and he feeds you heaping spoon fulls of “you are the man” and awkwardly tells you that “you really are putting it all together” he is not trying to make you feel good or keep you signing checks to his gym.

These guys should be having a support group, not a fight.

If 2 seasons of TUF didn't prove that Rampage is TERRIBLE at picking winners,
I don’t know what to tell you.

KO Power
If you look at Wand’s according to Fight Finder you’ll notice the only guys to knock him out are fighters with established knockout power, i.e. Belfort, Cro Cop, Hendo, and Jackson.

Wait, so the only people to knock him out are people who knock people out?
That’s some stunning reasoning – I have just the club for you! :-)

How about this, then:
By the numbers:
Hendo has 11 KOs in 32 fights. 34%
Page has 14 KOs in 37 fights. 37%
Vitor has 13 KOs in 27 fights. 48%
Wandy has 22 KOs in 44 fights. 50%
Cro Cop has 19 Kos in 35 fights. 54%
Bisping has 11 KOs in 20 fights. 55%
Now obviously, fights aren’t all created equal. And one win isn’t the same as another. But if you don’t punish Bisping for his shorter career and look at the percentages, he’s got a better chance of winning by knockout than Wandy does.
Now tell everyone else around here to stop being wrong on the Internet. I’m losing sleep!

Most of bispings “kos” where tkos and against people who were a level below him. the only guys who were on the same level of him that he beat was denis kang and Hammil (that one was questionable). Hendo, and rashad both beat him and his MW wins are nothing to brag about. Charles Mac, leban and Jason day (kang being the best win). Truth is Bisping does not do well against guys when he does not have control of the tempo. Bisping shows some nice come back against Kang but i bet money that if Wand lays a hand on him like kang there will be no second round brain fart.
Exactly.

that being said...
this is a guy who fought Wanderlei three times. So he probably can provide some insight. That shouldn’t be overlooked, but it also shouldn’t be overvalued

Rampage probably has lots of insight:
“If he starts kneeing you, try not to land suspended in the air so that there can be thousands of pictures of you looking completely tore up.”

Did Wandy get any knees in last time?

I doubt he remembers much of the first two fights. Even his win wasn’t because of any brilliant gameplan- its because he has great boxing, and can throw a hook that I’ve no reason to think Michael Bisping is remotely capable of throwing. And yes, Bisping is a solid boxer, but not in the same way.
In either case, it sounds like they’d each rather have Hendo in their corner :)
I am shocked!
I totally thought Page would predict a Silva KO.
what a surprise..
But all this “news” and bullshit discussion about Rampage makes me think.. Are people actually forgetting he can fight?
As annoying middleweights who can't finish fights go...
…I’m at least glad we’re talking about Bisping now instead of Sonnen.

Yeah…2 of his 8 wins in the UFC being by decision certainly shows a lack of finishing ability.

Whoops. I guess my memory doesn’t jibe so well with his record. My bad. I’m right about the annoying thing though.
Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.
Following Rampage's coaching advice is like circling into Hendo's right fist.
Total and utter annihilation.

i didn’t actually make the damn thing. just saw it somewhere else a while back and saved it. figured it would come in handy some day
Goldie: "Michael Jordan-esque in his grappling skills is Travis Lutter."
Rogan: "No, no he's not. No."
How can it be any clearer?
Any advantage gained by Rampage’s experience fighting Wandy is instantly negated by the fact that Rampage is one of the worst coaches/corners in the history of MMA.
Also, Rampage’s hook that would have knocked out Jesus isn’t exactly in Bisbings skill set, so Rampage’s plan doesn’t look too great either.
My only question about this comment is has Bisbing actually watched Wandy fight Hendo, I mean has he watched the fight? It was a war, a war that had Hendo knocked silly on more than one occasion. Does Bisbing really thing his fight against Hendo was anything even close to Wandy’s fight with Hendo?

Henderson knocked him out just as badly as he did me."
Yeah but at least Wandy is 1 and 1 with Henderson….not sure how much that makes a difference though.
