re: UFC 159 - Greatest LHW Fight in History - Jonny Bones Jones vs. Chael P. Sonnen

After Belcher responded to a question asking what a win would do for him, Bisping interjected to let the media know he doesn't see a Belcher win being something that needs to be worried about. "Let me just add to that," Bisping said. "A win over me for Alan Belcher will be by far the biggest win of his pathetic career. There you go. No one gives a s--- about Alan Belcher." When Belcher reminded the Brit that meant he better not lose, Bisping was quick to fire off another shot. "Hey, bro – I ain't going to lose to you, man," Bisping said. "It's in the bag. It's a formality. I've just got to show up, slap your little face, take my check and go home." With much of the focus of the call on Jones-Sonnen, the Bisping-Belcher exchange was short, but sweet. Belcher said the talk from Bisping, which has grown over the past several weeks leading up to the fight to Monday's call, at its highest pitch so far, has him amped up. "It is emotional for me, and that's when I perform at my highest," Belcher said. "I have the most pressure on me – I'm the most nervous for this fight ever. The only fights that I've ever lost are the fights that I wasn't very excited for. So this one, I want it worse than any fight in my whole career and I'm focused on it and I'll perform at my highest."
