Of his UFC 120 win over Yoshihiro Akiyama Bisping said. It felt good, I was dishing out the punishment instead of receiving it.
It definitely landed, Bisping said of a dazing combination from Akiyama in the opening minutes. It was a good shot. He caught me early on, and I did have to recover. It had me seeing double for a while.
questions regarding the power of his striking, or lack thereof, surfaced after the fight. Bisping rebuked the queries in typical fashion: If you’re trying to say I can’t punch, ask Akiyama…
I feel I’ve grown as a fighter. If I can’t do it now I’m never going to do it, he asserted.
That’s not to say that the confident Brit has his sights set on champion Anderson Silva just yet. Instead, he has another Silva in his sights.
I’d like to fight Wanderlei again, definitely, said Bisping, referring to his disputed loss to the Brazilian earlier this year. I would even consider coaching ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ against him.
