Michael Bisping Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Michael Bisping:

It seems like every problem you can have with an eye, I had.

Let's be honest: I don't want to walk out to boos. I always want to be cheered, like anyone, and I've been very lucky over the years to have a lot of support. Coming to America, I'm always the away guy, and so people thought their guy had to take me out, and they boo.

'300' is a bit cheesy but enjoyable.

I went to college and did advanced electronical engineering, not really knowing what I wanted to do. It bored me to death, so I dropped out.

I worked in factories, slaughterhouses, as an upholsterer. I did demolition work, was a postman, was a tiler, a plasterer. I even sold double-glazing door-to-door. But I always dreamed of being a world champion, first of all as a boxer.

Patrick Cote, that would be one way traffic. I'd destroy the guy.

I'm an emotional fighter; that's no secret. But it can be detrimental.

Michael Bisping

It seems like every problem you can have with an eye, I had.

I can't understand how some guys get tired after one round. If you can't go the distance, why are you even in the fight?

Michael Bisping

You can push my buttons all you want and say whatever you want about me, and that's fine... fighters do that.

Michael Bisping

When I'm in the gym, different training partners tell me that I've got great conditioning, and I tell them, 'Really? Because, I'm dying here.' I think that I'm just as tired as anyone; I just push myself mentally.

Michael Bisping

Maybe when I'm done fighting, I'll open a gym and manage fighters and train fighters.

Michael Bisping

People give me advice all the time, and I don't take a blind bit of notice.

A long time ago, I had a bird that annoyed me, and the bird had to go. The bird's neck was snapped. I would also snap Conor McGregor's neck in a similar fashion.

In my teenage years, I started kickboxing, then did a little boxing. When the UFC and MMA exploded in the early 2000s in the U.S.A. and Japan, I saw a way to make money and a career.

The more in shape you are, the harder you can push yourself.

I started learning jiujitsu when I was eight years old. I had a lot of success and won ever competition I even entered.

Some people are born for a certain thing. And for me, unfortunately, I wish it was something a bit more artistic or whatever, but I was a born fighter. That's what kept me coming back. It makes me feel alive. And, I just know, there is nothing I do better in this world than fight.

Michael Bisping

Anderson Silva kind of took the best part of Rich Franklin out of his soul, and he was never the same again.

Michael Bisping

Big respect to Dan Henderson.

Michael Bisping

I've had ups and downs in my career, and if you look at it as a bookmaker, the odds of me becoming a world champion were never in my favour, but I never stopped believing in myself and never stopped trying.

Michael Bisping

Of course it's an honour to be fighting at UFC 100, but I don't sit back and think about that. For me, it is only ever about winning.

Back then in the early '90s, people weren't calling it MMA - we called it Knockdown Sport Budo.

Michael Bisping

I haven't seen any of the Cung Le movies, but I have seen the Cung Le Q&A that he did in San Jose, and I've got to say that was pretty hard to watch. That was pretty cringeworthy. Listen: stick to kicking; sticking to kicking eggs and setting Guinness World Records, because entertaining a crowd certainly isn't your thing.

Michael Bisping

The underdog status suits me just fine.

Michael Bisping

Fighting in England, for me, is the height of my career. It really is.

Michael Bisping

I used to be weak - as did all British fighters - with wrestling, because we don't have high school wrestling or college wrestling here.

Michael Bisping

People write me off, and yet then, when I fight people, my opponents have a completely different opinion of me afterwards.

Michael Bisping

Fighting is different than other sports because you're not competing as regularly.

Without wishing to sound arrogant, when I was younger, I used to win every single martial arts tournament I ever entered. I used to enter the under 14s and under 16s, win both gold medals in those, and then go in the men's tournament just for experience, and end up getting a silver medal.

Michael Bisping

'The Ultimate Fighter' has found lots of great talent.

Michael Bisping

I'm a fighter through and through, and I've got more heart and more determination than anybody.

Michael Bisping

In MMA, I found my calling.

If a football player has a bad game, he's allowed to do that because he plays once or twice a week. With fighting, it's once every few months.

Michael Bisping

I just like doing normal things, going to the shops in Manchester, getting a meal with my girlfriend and kids, going to the cinema. I love Las Vegas and there places, but I couldn't live there.

Michael Bisping

I was a big fan of martial arts movies - Bruce Lee in particular, as cringeworthy as it is. Jean-Claude van Damme was a big inspiration as well - it's a little embarrassing.

Michael Bisping

It seems, whenever there are two Brits fighting in the UFC, we always seem to put on a good fight.
