Bisping claims the pressure is on GSP

British middleweight Michael Bisping claims ‘all the pressure is on GSP’ ahead of the French-Canadian’s welterweight title fight with Dan Hardy.

Hardy coul become the first British fighter to become a UFC champion when he takes on GSP on March 27.

Bisping told Fighters Only Magazine: “Dan’s in a great position. All the pressure is on GSP for this fight. I’ve been friends with Dan for years and I am very happy he’s earned this chance. I know Dan’s a consumate professional and I know from the UK scene he’s come up with a great gameplan to bring the UFC welterweight title back to England. I will be up late, and cheering Dan of for sure.”

“He knows he’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’s best weapon is his belief in himself. He won’t beat himself before the fight starts and even if GSP starts taking him down and things don’t go to plan, Dan won’t crumble psychologically.”
