There is widespread expectation that Hector Lombard will book the next shot at Anderson Silva, if he beats Tim Boetsch impressively at UFC 149 on Saturday. However, Michael Bisping has a revelation that has sparked intrigue.
“I’ve been told if I beat him [Stann] – and beat him well – I’ll get a title shot,” Bisping said. “But I haven’t gotten it in writing, so it probably doesn’t mean anything.”
“People are saying (Lombard)’s going to be next for Anderson Silva? Come on. There’s just no way he can fight Anderson Silva, because Silva’s game is to use range.”
“I think it will be a terrible match-up for Hector Lombard. He’ll never get near him.”
“Every time I watch (Anderson Silva) fight, I think he always looks mortal if you will. He always looks beatable. That’s the good thing about a champion: they find a way to win. Regardless of how bad the fight goes, how it ends is the important thing.
“Anderson always comes out the winner. My hat is off to him, but I see holes in his game.”
