“My job is to win this fight, and win this fight I will,” said Bisping. “I will stop his takedowns. I will jab his face up. I will follow it up with the right hand. The left-high kick will go high kind of like Jon Jones and DC (Daniel Cormier). Georges St-Pierre will fall flat into the Octagon. He will be asleep and I will be the winner.”
