Bisping: Dollaway just showing up for paycheck
Michael Bisping: “He’s turning up for the paycheck. It’s done. It’s a formality. I’m just going to turn up and actually carry out the process of beating him.”
There has been plenty of trash talk between CB Dollaway and Michael Bisping leading into the UFC 186, as can be expected in any Bisping fight. Bisping today spoke to the media and believes that his all the advantages in this fight and believes that his opponent is just showing up to collect a paycheck:
I’ve got good wrestling; I’ve got great anti-wrestling. Obviously his offensive wrestling is better, but defensively he’s got nothing I haven’t seen before. I’ve just got to shrug off his takedowns and hopefully get that knockout.
Bisping and Dollaway are two of the longest tenured active 185-pound fighters on the UFC roster. They have a combined 37 octagon appearances. Bisping made his UFC debut in June 2006; Dollaway joined the organization in two years later.
Although Dollaway has faced elite competition in the past, including a former UFC champion, Bisping said he can feel his opponent’s fear and expects a blowout performance at UFC 186.
He’s going to be terrified – he is terrified, Bisping said. He knows he’s lost this fight. He’s turning up for the paycheck. It’s done. It’s a formality. I’m just going to turn up and actually carry out the process of beating him.
