Michael Bisping Skewers Chael Sonnen On Inside MMA

Photo

Michael Bisping was a guest on HDNet's Inside MMA last night, and upped the ante on the pre-fight rhetoric being exchanged between himself and UFC on Fox 2 opponent Chael Sonnen. Sonnen has been fairly low-key so far in terms of trashing Bisping, only offering up a few quips here and there. Bisping though? That's a whole other story: (transcribed by MMA Mania):

"Okay. One. Let's start with the obvious. He's not the middleweight champion. He's been beaten many, many times. He's been submitted more times than I care to mention. Not to mention, the last time he lost a fight by submission, there were some issues involving performance enhancing drugs. I don't know what the deal is. Apparently, he has one testicle. One testicle! This is why he uses performance enhancing drugs. He's gonna need more than one little ball to fight me next weekend!"

Not bad. He continued on with his assessment of the fight, which is a little more realistic:

"He's gonna try and take me down, lay on top of me and smother me to death. Me, on the other hand, I will be arriving to fight this guy. I'm gonna look to knock him out. Of course, like all my fights, it's not gonna be easy. He's a tough opponent. I'm sure it's gonna be an amazing fight. All joking aside, it's gonna be a tough fight."

Bisping can't seem to make up his mind though. He said a few days ago that he was going to submit him from the bottom, but now he's going to knock him out. Either way, expect more amusing back-and-forth between the two in the next few days.

Has Bisbing knocked anyone out?

why would he keep saying this. Anderson is the most accurate striker in the division and he didn’t knock Chael out. Im curious to know what would happen to Bisbing if he fought Anderson…..seems like he’d play right into Andersons stand up game.

A TKO is the same as a KO. When a fighter says “I’m going to knock him out”…they generally mean stop him. Not H-bomb him.

Go ask Mike he if knocked out Jorge Rivera. Or Mayhem, Kang, McCarthy, etc. That’s the point. Whether one is more impressive or not isn’t the point, we all understand the difference between the two. It’s the use of the phrase in question. You’re still “knocking someone out” when you win by TKO. The KO means “knockout”.

Not to be that guy

but he really just swarms on guys and peppers them with fairly solid shots until the ref stops it. He doesn’t bomb guys with Brock or Munoz level gnp. And if it wasn’t for his cardio I don’t think he would be able to “finish” as many guys as he does.

Bisping is not a one hitter quitter, and even though I am not a fan of his, I’ll give him some credit and say that he makes up for it by outworking his opponents and throwing a lot of volume in his strikes.

I don't understand why people think Bisping has "pillow hands"

He has TKO’d over more than half of his opponents throughout his career. As he stated himself recently, several of his last fights have finished with his opponent needing medical care at the hospital. Bisping has managed to walk away from these fights with minimal damage.

Well I would not say he has pillow hands but he is far from someone that you have to worry about Ko’ing you with one shot,a great example of that is Dan Henderson.He did not respect his hands at all and just walked threw his offense until that BIG right hand landed.

Also another thing that does not halp Bisping out alot of the opponets he did TKO are not known to have eather the best fighter constitution or Jaws. Just look at some of the nams he has stoped now in the UFC and that should say it all ? Elvis Sinosic,Eric Schafer,Josh Haynes,Charles McCarthy,Jason Day,Dennis Kang,etc None of those names are known for there Jaw’s and willingness to take a beating, All pretty much quiet ounce they run into any kind of opposition or solid offense hits them. There fighter constitution if they were a role playing game character would be normal to low. Someone like Shogun or Jim Miller would he high

Bisbing is on crack, here is why ..

has any one seen his performance against Miller " Mayhem " ? when he exchange or throw combinations , he lacks power . he throw straight jabs but he does not have dynamite in his hands. his punches are sloppy and you can rarely see him doing over right hands behind the ears a l a Hendo . he may have a good take down defense but this is CHAEL SONNEN’S DOUBLE LEG we are talking about here. any way he is in for a treat when Chael talks back to him . and for a grinding night inside the octagon :)

I'm a little worried that this fight is not going to live up to the big expectations people have for it

Bisping has pretty good TDD and I expect a lot of really technical, and not terribly exciting, position jockeying up against the cage.

I hope I’m wrong, but I think this thing has stinker potential. And not to be a total Debby Downer, but Rashad-Davis could go that way too.

Rashad is a pretty damn good wrestler, and if anything, he focused on that skill more in 2007 than he does now. I think Chael is potentially the best pure MMA wrestler out there right now, but Rashad’s gotta be top 5 or 10 himself.

I think Bisping is good enough to at least make this a giant slog.

I know I though about that after I posted. Should’ve just been one or two >. Rashad is a much better MMA wrestler than he was in 2007. I just don’t see Bisping staying off his back in this one, but I could be wrong. Just remember Bisping has only fought 3 fighters in the UFC with really good wrestling, and two of them chose to stand with him. The third (Rashad) took him down 6 times but just didn’t know what to do on the ground back then, other than control position. So he’s really only been pushed by an elite wrestler once, and he was taken down 6 times and lost a UD (though he did outland Rashad on the feet, but Rashad 2007 standing? C’mon).

Bisping's takedown defense

Is extremely overrated – it’s good, but not elite. He’s sitting at about 64% right now, which puts him in the same league as Anthony Pettis or Frankie Edgar. On the other hand, his scrambling is top-notch, but Sonnen’s gonna Sonnen; even if he manages to get back to his feet, Chael will be on him like a junkyard dog. Should be a relatively entertaining grapple-fest.

Should've called it "surprise-wrestled"!

I think bisping gets put away in impressive fashion. Which makes the silva rematch all the more interesting.

The only interest I have in Bisping beating Sonnen

Is the inevitable KO loss he’d suffer fighting Anderson Silva. And I mean KO, not TKO.

Sorry, but back to the KO/TKO debate. - What's the point of TKO's?

Why not just have KO’s and stoppages due to strikes?

I know these guys have a lot of confidence, but..

Bisping has gotta know enough about the fight game to know he is not likely to win and that he has a very high probability of looking really bad in the process of losing. I would love to see an epic fight but I will be surprised if this makes it out of the 1st round.

Lol wut?

Has Chael Sonnen ever finished anyone in the 1st round…like ever?

He did but he was fighting unopposed

Has Chael fought Bisping before? No. That is the fight I am talking about. This is about as bad of a match-up that Bisping could have in the UFC.

This is fucking funny

there were some issues involving performance enhancing drugs. I don’t know what the deal is. Apparently, he has one testicle. One testicle!

He's talking that good stuff now

But watch him get royally butthurt if Chael comes back with a line not even a quarter as personal as his.

the only way i see Bisping taking this is catching Chael with a knee to the face while he shoots in for a takedown. either way, the odds of that happening are preeeeetty slim.

i got Sonnen here for the epic rematch in Sao Paulo.

Chael has to be careful not to get triangled on his way to the cage

yep

he’d have to be Overeem to put Chael out with a knee like that. like i said, i don’t see it happening.

He got blasted in the face by stann, i dont see anyone else in the division hitting as hard as stann to be honest so im pretty sure sonnen will walk through whatever bisping has to complete the take down.

by mikeI981j on Jan 24, 2012 9:39 PM EST up reply actions  

I see

I’ll keep that in mind for next time.

by Un Sandpiper on Jan 24, 2012 5:20 PM EST up reply actions  

Yeah it was more punny than anything, to be honest.

Nice attempt though. Just gotta up your game a little, player.

Hoping for Bisping

Via flying triangle… because that would be the way to really embarrass Sonnen.
