Kang looking to make a statement

Denis Kang admits he is keen on making a ‘major statement’ in his forthcoming fight with Michael Bisping at UFC 105.

Kang admits the fight, in just over two weeks, is probably the biggest of his career.

He told Fighters Only Magazine: “I am in good place, mentally and physically. I am ready. This is the right fight at the right time for me.

“This is one of the biggest fights on a UFC card and being in Bisping’s hometown in England where he is very popular there will be a lot of attention on it. I’ve fought in PRIDE FC tournaments, but UFC in my view is bigger than PRIDE was and this is a major fight on the card.

“This will really show the world that I am in the UFC. I was really disappointed with my UFC debut against Alan Belcher in Dublin in January. I feel I was controlling the fight but made a stupid mistake and ended up losing a fight I was winning. It happens, but I’ve worked hard since then not to make the same mistake again.

“I took this fight right away when it was offered to me. I’ve wanted to fight Bisping ever since I came to the UFC. He’s got a big name, and he is usually in good fights the fans care about and I think I will beat him so, obviously, he’s someone I looked at as a great fight for me and my career.”
