boxing trainer Michael Bisping, Jason Parillo is largely confident that his protégé will surprise Luke Rockhold and win the UFC middleweight belt. To do this, he decided to make an unusual proposal: he will allow everyone to slap him in the face if that doesn't happen.

“Listen to what I'm saying: everyone can slap me in the face if this doesn't happen, but he's going to win this fight. Michael Bisping he will be world champion”, he assured, in an interview with the “Submission Radio” podcast.
Due to the last minute injury of Chris Weidman, Bisping had to accept the chance to fight for the belt with little time to prepare. Parillo believes that this will not affect his performance. “If we wanted complete training, lasting three months? Of course we wanted to. But would we get a chance like that so soon? I don't think so. All the pieces began to fall into place with Jacaré and Weidman's surgeries. Michael has been in the game for a long time and hasn't had a chance, so whether it's two weeks or two days in advance, he's going to take it – and he's going to win,” he guaranteed.
Bisping will have his long-awaited chance to fight for the UFC belt on June 4th, in the main fight of UFC 199. On the other side of the octagon will be Luke Rockhold, who already defeated him in November 2014.
