"Far be it from me to look past Vitor," said Bisping. "I'm trying to make this fight more significant. I'm concerned that I've got my hands full. It's not going to be easy. We're fighting in Brazil. He hits hard. But I think I'll weather the storm and he'll become a punching bag."

"It's well documented, rightly or wrongly, that Vitor gasses quickly," said Bisping. "He does slow down after the first round. Obviously, early for me is going to be the most dangerous. The longer the fight goes, he'll start turning into a walking punching bag. At least that's the plan. It's easier said than done. He's going to come out hard and fast, and he will be dangerous. He's a big middleweight. He's been a heavyweight (tournament) champion, and was a light heavyweight champion back in the day. But these are the kind of fights I'm going to take if I want to back up my talking.

"I feel like I'm in my prime," said Bisping, who turns 34 in three months. "I relocated to Southern California. I've really enjoyed my training here. I've got new training partners and the more time I spend here, the more good people I find to train with. I'm training smarter instead of harder. I've got a long time left in my career."

If the fight gets Stopped in the first round then it's likely Vitor by KO/TKO.

But I think we will see Bisping come in with a game plan that will involve him avoiding Vitor in the first and then turning up the pressure and aggresion in rounds 2 and 3. Bisping has a good chance of winning this is he is smart. He just needs to avoid vitors heavy hands early in the fight.

The count by split decision. Phone Post

Jobe Watson the Bomber 166 Member Since: 10/12/10 Posts: 3408	Good fight, looking forward to it. Bispings a solid fighter, well rounded and conditioned but it has been shown he is vulnerable to a flurry. Wand had most of his success against The Count from vintage berzerker attacks and if Belfort employs that tactic, Bisping can't leave his chin out because a Vitor Belfort flurry is one of the most dangerous things in MMA.

Vitor hasn't come out blazing in a long time. He is taking his time and not wasting his energy. As for gassing, Vitor really has not gassed in awhile either. In the JOnes fight he went 4 rnds, but if you consider how much energy he spent holding that armbar in the 1st, I'd say his gas tank is getting a lot better. I can't see the blackzillians taking it easy on him during traneing either..Vitor by tko
