“Well, obviously it draws me back in the win column. It eradicates my last loss. You’re only as good as your last fight and my last fight was a loss. And I don’t take that too well. I want to win fights. I’m a natural competitor. A win over Alan Belcher puts me back in the win column. As I say, I get redemption for my last fight. It’s a win over a Top 10 opponent.

A win over me for Alan Belcher will be by far the biggest win of his pathetic career

Hey bro, I ain’t going to lose to you, man. It’s in the bag. All I got to do is – it’s a formality. I just got to show up, slap your little face, take my check and go home.”

Michael Bisping recently took to MMAWeekly to pre-proclaim victory for this weekend’s UFC 159 co-main event against Alan Belcher.
