Michael Bisping: Anderson Silva is going to decapitate Stephan Bonnar – UFC News
Briton mixed martial artist Michael Bisping believes middleweight champion Anderson Silva is going to destroy his opponent Stephan Bonnar at UFC 153. Bisping believes Silva is too good for a fighter like Bonnar. However, the British fight sensation does
admit that Bonnar is a tough opponent and he can be the one to end Silva’s era, only if he plays smart.
“Let's be honest, more than likely, Anderson Silva's going to decapitate him. I don't think I'm saying anything too out there with that comment,” said Bisping in an interview with MMA Fighting. “Who knows? Stephan Bonnar is tough. He'll give it a go. He'll
fight. I think Stephan Bonnar is going to do a better job than Forrest Griffin did.... I think from the UFC's perspective it makes perfect sense [Anderson Silva vs. Stephan Bonnar]. I think from Anderson Silva's perspective it makes perfect sense. They lost
the main event and the co-main event in the space of a day, Brazil's a massive market for the UFC now, it's beyond huge.”
According to Bisping, UFC currently is going through a tough phase and it needs to make fights to appease its fan base. Bisping believes putting Silva in the cage for a card that is set for Brazil is a smart move at UFC’s end.
According to the Briton contender, UFC has a huge fan base in the Brazil and it is important to put a Brazilian fighter in the cage when holding an event in Brazil.
Michael ‘The Count’ Bisping is looking forward to get a shot at Anderson Silva. He is currently scheduled to face Brian Stann at UFC 152, which is being headlined by the clash between light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and old-school fighter Vitor Belfort.
Bisping believes it is about time for him to get a title shot. In his previous interviews, The Count has time and again revealed that he has been promised the title shot by UFC officials only if he wins in a dominating manner against Stann. Even Stann is
hungry for the title shot so it might be difficult for Bisping to get through this one.
