Evans not underestimating Bisping

Posted 10 Nov 2007 in Michael Bisping, Rashad Evans, UFC 78

Rashad Evans is taking Michael Bisping seriously. Despite being a favorite on betting lines such as BetUS, where Rashad Evans is a -280 favorite to Michael Bisping at +210, Evans is not allowing overconfidence build coming into his bout on the 17th at UFC 78. “I don’t want to underestimate him, in my mind this dude is tough as f__”, says Bisping in a recent interview with Hacnews.com. “I expect him to come out tough as f___ on Saturday. I’m not going to give into the mentality that he is not a worthy contender. Everyone in the UFC is a worthy contender, and it only takes one punch. This dude could be my toughest fight ever, so I don’t want to believe what everyone who has trained with him is telling me.”
