UFC Quick Quote: Michael Bisping confident that Team UK is going to kick some TUF ars

[Shogun Locc]

“It has been a crazy ride, but it all started with ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ and I’ve never forgotten that. I have watched every episode of the series since I left the house and, if you remember, when my friend Rampage was the coach of Season 7 I went to the TUF Gym to help his team train … Obviously, I can’t say too much about the upcoming episodes, but what I will say is that those who think the Brits came to roll over and be happy to make up the numbers are going to be surprised.”

To be honest i was that impressed by the Brit's except for maybe one guy but who knows.

After watchin the yanks this morning i am very impressed with the team so far every fighter look pretty solid. honestly i think the brits are gonna get smashed and then to top it off Hendo is gonna destroy Bispbing.

I only thought one of the American fighters looked good. And that was the dude who talked about how he will be smiling the whole time on the show.

The rest looked like shit. I didn't see any great wrestlers or jits guys.. Seems like a bunch of brawlers.
