Michael Bisping talks UFC 75

MMA Madness' Ryan McKinnell went one-on-one with Michael Bisping a couple of weeks ago.  Bisping is preparing for this Saturday's UFC 75 showdown against fellow TUF 3 alum Matt Hamill.  In this wide-ranging interview, Bisping touches on a number of subjects including what he thinks of Hamill as well as another rising MMA light heavyweight star -- Rameau Thierry Sokoudjo.

Here's what Bisping said about how he is preparing for Hamill:

"...For Hamill, I’ve been working on stopping the takedown -- well actually I’ve been working everything. I’ve been working my jiu-jitsu, getting back to my feet, stopping the takedown, and striking. You know, I’m well-rounded and I have to train for wherever the fight may take me. I don’t think it is any secret that Hamill is going to put me on my back. I don’t really know why he wants to do that though -- it’s not like he’s going to ground-and-pound me from there, and he’s certainly not going to submit me so, you know, he’s pretty limited in what he can do."
