Bisping wants to wrestle Dan Henderson?

Michae Bisping must really not want to fight for a title if he thinks he is going to out wrestle Dan Henderson, which is exactly what Bisping's trainer says "The Count" is planning on doing,

"He will take Dan Henderson down more than one time in the fight. He will, that's how he is going to win the fight. That is how I see it. When they start trading I think Mike will win the scrambles. Dan is a great scrambler but in a scramble situation I think Mike is going to come out on top every time.

I help Mike stop himself from over-training and keep him focused on the task at hand. Right now he is in phenomenal shape. He is getting two, maybe two and a half days of rest a week at the moment and his wrestling is better than I have ever seen it. There is no doubt in my mind that he will end this fight before the third round."

Dan Henderson competed in the 1992 and 1996 Olympics for Greco-Roman wrestling.

So Bisping plans to utilise the weakest area of his game to defeat a man who specialises in that area.

I just don’t see anywhere Bisping can win this fight. The ground game certainly belongs to Hendo. Even on the feet, Bisping will probably land more shots but he’s not going to KO someone with Henderson’s chin. He’s been hit harder by better. Granted, I said the same thing about Big Nog and Mir. But, I believe it’ll take one shot from Hendo to deal the damage of five of Bisping’s.
