Michael Bisping vows to get in the face of Anderson Silva if the two men ever meet inside the octagon

UFC middleweight contender, Michael Bisping has vowed to push the pace and get in the face of current 185 pound champion, Anderson Silva if the two men ever square off inside the octagon, explaining as far as he’s concerned the worst thing you could do is stand off “The Spider”.


 Speaking via ESPN.co.uk, Bisping said:

“Anderson proves time and time again that he’s the No. 1 fighter in the world, and he took Belfort out in style. I think Belfort had the wrong gameplan. You have to get in Anderson’s face, not stand off and allow him to use his speed and his range like that. But still, it was an incredible finish.”

“You have to get in his face. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not easy, we all saw what he did to Rich Franklin in the clinch. But I definitely think you have to push the pace and get him on his back foot.”

Bisping will first need to navigate heavy hitting veteran, Jorge Rivera at UFC 127 later this month, as well as a possible second fight with a top contender at 185 pounds if he’s to receive that all important shot at the gold down the line. Stay tuned to MMABay for more on this as we get it.
