“I have trained hard and I am ready for the fight. I am looking forward to this match…. I will move forward using my striking to either setup the KO or the takedown. I’m not fussed where the match ends up…. I don’t think Bisping is weak. There are areas of fighting that I’d like to test out during the match. I think I bring a lot more experience against World Class opponents than he is used to facing … when I step into the Cage … there will be fireworks. This match won’t be any different. To all those that believe in me, thanks for all your support. To all those that don’t, hopefully this match will change your minds.”

– UFC light heavyweight Elvis Sinosic talks about his upcoming bout with Michael Bisping at UFC 70 with BuddyTV.com in an exclusive interview.

I’d like to see the Count get dropped. Just because i think they are sliver spooning this guy it would be funny if one of these hand picks knocks him out. They need to start putting Bisping in with some real fighters if they want him to get respect. Most other TUF winners started out fighting tougher opponents after winning the show, why not this guy? Take him out Sinosic!

bisping ain’t losing to this guy, bisping is the kind of fighter who comes off as cocky and over confident, but i think he does that more for show so he can win over more fans, in reality i think he’s a really smart guy and a really smart fighter and he’s not gonna let this guy beat him, especially in his hometown…i’m not saying bisping is unbeatable, he’s middle of the pack right now in his division, but this is a fight he will not lose

Sinosic must get paid to lose, or must be getting trained by someone who doesn’t like him.

I think these two are pretty evenly mathched.Can’t say i’m a fan of either but I hope Sinosic knocks his block off.

Tha spida, you know what we have in commin is that we are right about 90% of the time. its no way bisping is going to lose. he trains like a maniac and will be over prepared for this fight. i think his cockiness is just from him being from a different country and americans just arent use to it. i like bisping, he is just different, and hes bloody funny as hell.

No matter what your prediction of the outcome, Elvis is probably one of the most down to earth fighters and an all around positive guy even in the face of adversity. Although his skill level may not be the same, he’s a lot like GSP in terms of attitude.

He may be the underdog in this one, but I wouldn’t say as much of an underdog as Matt Serra was – so anything can happen. I like “The Count” as well, but I’ll be cheering for the fighter of the people, “The King of Rock and Rumble” :)

Believe me when I tell you Bisping is not gonna take this guy lightly,this is the most important fight of his life and he will win.You do know sinosic submited Jeremy Horn before dont you,well I know Bisping does,of that I am very sure.Over here in England there was a documentry on about him last week that followed him right through his stay on tuf3 and all the way up to his first fight against Eric Schafer and behind the scenes he is not over confident and cocky at all,infact he seems like a down to earth guy.However I dont think he is gonna blow through sinosic and this could be a far better fight than anyone expects because sinosic has nothing to lose and I believe him when he says he is coming for war.I am realy looking forward to this night and I think its gonna be fuckin belta!!!!!!!

This will be a good fight. Another “sleeper match” much like Serra – GSP. I voted with the majority…. imagine Dana’s face if Elvis wins….. I think Bisbing is the future of the UFC in the LHW div. But if an upset happens…. don’t be surprised!!!

Sinosic will get hosed!!!! He has no chance. He may have fought world class guys but never comes close to beating any of them. I like Bisping he will be a threat in 205 soon.

I believe your wrong mate Forrest Griffin fought Bill Mahood at UFC53 Heavy Hiters in his first fight after winning TUF1,and in his second fight he fought GUESS WHO?Elvis Sinosic at UFC55 fury!!!Do your research mate.Eric Schafer was a tough opponent for Bispings first fight and I think out of all TUF winners the toughest so far.So tell me who has had the tougher opponents then on their first and second fight and list them.Sinosic submited Jeremy Horn and all his losses in the UFC have been against tough fighters,look on his record.

elvis first off love your name second knock that silver spoon fed bitch out i hate bispings cocky ass… i will admit i was pissed that he got this fight thinking sinosic sucks balls but hes got skills and if bisping comes in over confident (which we all know he will) he will get a punch on the button and see how he likes it, and i dont think he will this is his first test and its a pretty easy test but i hope his brit bitch ass fails

Remember your SAT analogies, kids. Elvis Sinosic is to the UFC as The Brooklyn Brawler is to the WWE.

i agree wit both of you gentleman. Bisping is a solid fighter. (notice i said solid and not great.) but aside from that, he works hard and really seems to be hungry to prove himself. and like the spida said, there is no way hes losing on his home turf

I’m just upset that Sinosic was booked in this. Nothing against him, it just makes no sense and is so obviously a feed to Bisping. They need to think about what happens if he wins. Keeping that in mind, they should book someone who they wouldn’t mind seing defeat Bisping.

I’m with you guys all the way. I can’t believe some in here actually think Elvis has a chance. As for Bisping he is Solid not great yet as mentioned above. This guy will be a threat soon

You gonna be disapointed mate coz sinosic is gonna get knocked out violently,and what you mean brit bitch ass,thats a bit strong coming from somone calling himself dazzle,aint it bitch.Plus if Bisping is silver spoon fed then so is Griffin,were you talkin all this shit about him when he fought sinosic on his second fight,somhow I doubt it.

Griffin also didnt walk aroung like Bisping does acting like his dick touches the floor. This Brit thinks he’s all that and then fights mediocre fighters to boost his already massive ego. I hope bisping gets ktfo! see ya MATE. lol

I saw the documentary about Bisping and his rise through the ranks and let me assure you he doesn’t fight the weak.

His first fight in the UK Cage Rage was against the champion and Bisping was expected to be cannon fodder. He destroyed the champion and never looked back.

Even when he was a teen he used to win all the competitions in and above his age group and would come pretty close to winning adult competitions!

He knows he has a lot to learn and he doesn’t come across as big headed! Damn some of you guys are real air heads.

Considering what just happened between Matt Serra and GSP I would expect a little more optimism going into this fight.

Chucks my favourite fighter actualy,but thankfully hes moving up to heavywieght so by the time Bisping gets up the ranks he wont have to worry bout Chuck,and apart from him I think Bisping has the potential to beat everyone else in the LH division,he is only like 27 or somet int he.
