Bisping responds to kid’s prediction that he will lose
“I think he,” said mini Count with an impish grin. “Because he might be stronjer.”
UFC middleweight Michael Bisping spent his entire fight career working towards a title shot. Along the way he became so remarkably media savvy that he landed movie roles. He was in Toronto filming xXx: The Return of Xander Cage, along with close person friends Vin Diesel, Samuel L. Jackson, Donnie Yen, Tony Jaa, when he got the ultimate good news bad news call.

Good news is he got a title shot. Bad news is it was in 17 days.
Bisping accepted the fight, put his phone down, and went for a run pell-mell through downtown Toronto. And then, as he related in a recent interview with FOX Sports, he felt calm and focus and confidence.
In an amusing sequence, video was played of Bisping’s youngest son, Lucas, asked by his father who will win the fight with defending champion Luke Rockhold tonight.
“I think he,” said mini Count with a grin. “Because he might be stronjer.”
Undeterred, big Count asked even more directly, who would win.
“I think him,” said Lucas, again, adding, “because he might be stronjer.”
Bisping also got trolled by elder son and game UGer Callum, who pointed to Rockhold’s superior cardio, heart, power, and looks.
However, The Count had a fast retort.
“Can I just say for the record he also said I was going to lose the Anderson Silva fight,” said Bisping.
And Bisping has said how he’s going to win:
