Michael Bisping is an underdog in his UFC 100 fight with Dan Henderson, but he’s sounding increasingly confident as the fight approaches.
“He’s got a vicious right hand with a lot of power in it — he’s knocked out a lot of guys,” Bisping said, before adding, “I think I’m going to be too quick for him. I don’t think he’s going to land that big shot. I don’t see Dan Henderson — no disrespect — at 38 years of age, I think he’s got to be slowing down a bit. I don’t think he’s going to catch me with it. … Tune in to see the first time ever Dan Henderson gets knocked out.”
I’m not sure I buy it. Bisping has won most of his pro MMA fights by knockout or TKO, but he’s never fought anyone with a chin like Henderson’s: Henderson has been beaten seven times (three submissions, four decisions) but he’s never lost a knockout or TKO, and he’s faced a lot of great strikers in his long MMA career.
I’m sure the UFC would love to see Bisping knock Henderson out, as a Bisping knockout win would go a long way toward selling a middleweight title fight between Bisping and Anderson Silva. But my own prediction is that Henderson is going to win the fight by decision.
