bisping disses flyweights

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2012/7/23...stann-mma-news

bisping said "In my opinion, and I think in most people’s, this is the main event. This is the real main event. Two big hard hitting guys. No one cares about little flyweights, this is the real main event, this is the real big fight, tune in cause someone’s getting knocked out, ain’t going to be me though."

"This is the real main event of UFC 152."

idk about you guys but i enjoy when might mouse fights i like the flyweights for the uptempo style

I prefer the lower weight classes, because they are usually more technical, faster paced, and more back and forth. I'm really looking forward to the card and predict that they get Fight of The Night.

Yeah, it's what made me want to get this card but MacDonald-Penn, Bisping-Stann made it worth even more. I think I like the lighter weight classes because I get to fight there.

I can't wait till Stann shows Michael "Pillow Hands" Bisbing what real knockout power looks. Stann by Falcon Punch in the second.

Bisping is awesome. Just hyping his own fight is all.
Also i think there is an element of truth to what he is saying. There does seem to be more interest in the Bisping Stann fight than there is with the flyweight title fight.
Definitely agree though, that the smaller guys are more technical, fast paced, and usually so much fun to watch. :-)

i really like demetrious johnsons work i think hes gonna be the champ and now that sonnen lost stann and bisping could move up on the ladder to face silva it should be a very good card next to the edgar henderson fight it is on my list of cards i will order

If every bisping fight was like the Hendo one then I MAY agree lol. The flyweight fight is going to be balling.

I agree with Kevin Savage. Most of the time I would rather see a more technically skilled but smaller fighter than a slower heavyweight bout. I get that Bisping is trying to make hype for his fight but it does get kind of annoying that this guy is pretty much the face of UK mma for most if the world.

You caught me Sam...its just...my heart was broken when the count beat sexyama :P. Im also hoping that Jones gets added to the list soon. With that said, do you think Bisping can utilize his boxing with not being taken down by stann?

Bisbing will not out punch Stann in this one. This is of course me being bias because I am a Marine and I can't help but go for the former Captain :)

I see the Bisping fight ending either by Stann by KO/TKO or Bisping by Decision. Now the Flyweight fight I gotta go with Joe B Wan.

If Chael Sonnen cant keep Bisping down, Stann has no chance (in holding him down).
Interesting thing Bisping said last week at the Q&A. As soon as he started taking mma seriously, every single time he started a round of sparring he would start it from his back and work his way back toward the feet. He has been doing that for like 8 years now. I think most guys will have trouble keeping him down now. He has 'developed' it, like working on a strong and tight rubber guard. After that long its bound to be decent.
The only way i see Stann winning this fight is if Bisping drops his hands and Stann uses his power - which he has in abundance, but i think Bisping has more ways to win. Plus selfishly i want to see Bisping vs Anderson Silva on English soil before he retires - especially as Anderson has already stated he likes that fight and wants to fight in England again.
Anyway, I LOVE this fight (Bisping Stann), i cant wait. Love both guys, they are awesome competitors. :-)

I think drilling starting each round in guard and getting up is a pretty awesome strategy. Im not a huge fan of either guy, but it would be nice to see Bisping get a title shot. He has been doing pretty dam good, granted he's had a few losses but hes been pretty solid performance wise for quite a while now. Hopefully its a great fight and a great card :D
