Former UFC champion, Anderson Silva is widely considered one of the greatest fighters in MMA history. However, your next opponent, Michael Bisping, he believes he is even better than the Brazilian, whose game he considers to have several flaws.

Bisping, who faces Anderson in the main fight of UFC London, this Saturday (27), recognizes that the “Spider” has good technical characteristics, but that he himself is fully capable of nullifying the Brazilian's weapons.

“I know I'm a better fighter than Anderson, and I know people will laugh at me when I say that. But when you analyze it in detail, you realize that it has several weaknesses, several flaws. Yes, he is very good and has an incredible ability to end fights. Some of his knockouts are legendary. But his boxing is not that good, his wrestling is not that good, his jiu-jitsu is not that good”, analyzed the Englishman, in an interview with the website of the North American broadcaster “FOX Sports”.

Bisping is confident that his game is the perfect antidote to Anderson's characteristics. “I’m a better athlete. He's never faced someone who can fight with my pace, my movement, my speed. If I don’t get caught in a plastic scam, I beat this guy,” he assured.
