When you train with bigger guys there are more chances to get an injury. But now it\u2019s a perfect opportunity for me to do it as I had some time off, I gained some weight. Still putting on some weight. And of course Michael Bisping will be bigger than me, but I believe that will be the only advantage that he\u2019ll have. I believe technically, tactically, athletically I have all the edge on him.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ahead of the fight, Bisping explained what he believes to be St-Pierre&#8217;s master plan, belts at three weight classes.
