At UFC 199 Luke Rockhold will attempt to defend his UFC Middleweight championship against Michael Bisping. UFC 199 takes place on the 4th June 2016 in Inglewood, California. This blog post will provide you with the 7 reasons why I think Michael Bisping will win.
1. Bisping's recent win over Anderson Silva. It feels like to me that this fight was a turning point in Bisping's career. The atmosphere that night in the O2 Arena in London was incredible and I believe Bisping will use that as motivation to go on and win. The way Bisping took all that punishment from Silva, and was still able to win shows great heart and determination.
2. Bisping's UFC experience is up there with the best. Bisping has competed in the UFC 25 times. Only Frank Mir, Tito Ortiz and Gleison Tibau have had more fights than Bisping. I believe Bisping will use this experience to get the win.
3. Bisping has the momentum going in to this fight and I believe he will carry on where he left off.
4. In my opinion Bisping was winning the first fight between himself and Rockhold, before he was finished. I believe Bisping is a much better fighter now than he was then and I am confident he will not make the same mistakes again.
5. Bisping is one of the best when it comes to mind games. Bisping has the ability to mentally beat Rockhold before they have even stepped in the octagon.
6. Bisping will be fighting in the state where he trains out of which is unusual for Bisping given he usually has to travel. It can not be underestimated how important this will be in terms of his preparation for the fight.
7. Bisping last fought in February, while Rockhold has not fought since December last year. Rockhold will have extra ring rust compared to Bisping and this could be key.
Who do you think is going to win?
