Michael Bisping vs yet another average fighter. Go figure of course we all saw what happens when he faces guys who know how to fight.
you must not know MMA tim…kang is far from ave. fighter..he will beat bisping. do your homework before making such ridiculous comments!
Kang isn’t average. I’m not sure that’s what Tim said. But, Kang is the right step-up for Bisping and should’ve been his opponent after Leben all along. I guess now it’s a step down from Hendo’ with brutal knockout in the back of his head. I’ll never understand the Bisping v Hendo matchup as long as I live.
