Michael Bisping Talks Dan Hardys Chances Against GSP

A fellow country man of welterweight number one contender Dan Hardy, Michael Bisping talks to Fighters Only Magazine about Hardys chances against Georges St. Pierre on March 27th at UFC 111:lt;brgt;lt;brgt;

quot;Dan#039;s in a great position. All the pressure is on GSP for this fight. I know Dan#039;s a consummate professional and I know from the UK scene he#039;s come up with a great game plan to bring the UFC welterweight title back to England. I will be up late, and cheering Dan on for sure. He knows he#039;s the underdog, but every welterweight on the planet is the underdog against GSP right now. Dan is a very good striker, he has that edge over GSP, but Dan#039;s best weapon is his belief in himself. He won#039;t beat himself before the fight starts. And even if GSP starts taking him down and things don#039;t go to plan, Dan won#039;t crumble psychologically. He#039;s not going to out-grapple GSP, we all know that. But he#039;s got an advantage on the feet and he#039;s a very hurtful puncher. GSP#039;s real talent is his MMA, mixing it up, going from wrestling to BJJ, to striking and back again as fast as anyone in the sport. GSP isn#039;t afraid to stand with anyone. I don#039;t agree with this theory he won#039;t stand with Dan, but of course it is in his best interest to take this to the ground where he has the advantage.quot;
