UFC 105: The Countdown Continues

Day 2 of our "The Countdown" series leading up to UFC 105: Couture vs. Vera

Denis Kang (32-11-1-2NC) is taking on Britain's Michael Bisping as part of the main card. Kang's first fight in the UFC was a second round loss to Alan Belcher at UFC 93; he rebounded with a split decision win over Xavier Foupa-Pokam at UFC 97. Now that he's had a seven month break, he feels confident he'll be able to over come any arsenal the "Count" can throw at him.

"I've got a pretty good right hand too. No way he's going to be ready for it; especially after the last fight. Is his chin going to be rested enough after such a devastating knock out? [See 1:25 of the video] It's kind of an iffy subject there, but I'm going to be testing it."



As you see in the above video, Michael Bisping is coming off a terrible knock out at UFC 100 delivered by Dan Henderson. Leading up to the fight Bisping was mouthing off a little, talking so trash, and Henderson decided to prove -quite skillfully- who the better fighter was. That night it was Dan Henderson, but Bisping may have recovered and could turn the tables and KO Kang on Saturday night. It's MMA, the only sure thing is there are no sure things.

"It's no secret I got knocked out in my last fight. Sittin' there and being all toochy about it isn't going to help...A lot of people get caught; that's the way mixed martial arts is...I've lost a bit of respect in the fighting world, I want to take that respect back. First thing on the list is beating Denis Kang."
