Michael Bisping has been asked to put his analyst hat on and take a look at the upcoming UFC 271 main event between Israel Adesanya and Robert Whittaker. There has been a lot of talk on how the Australian can beat the New Zealander.
Robert Whittaker pointed to the Jan Blachowicz fight as a good indication of how to beat the UFC champion. Israel Adesanya fired back and laughed off the idea that was fighting the same way as before.
Michael Bisping went on Submission Radio and explained how Robert Whittaker can beat Israel Adesanya at UFC 271. The fight against Jan Blachowicz is actually a good blueprint.
“What Robert needs to do in this one, and I think more of what he’s talking about here is letting Israel attack him. That’s what we saw Jan Blachowicz do [against Adesanya at UFC 259]. Standing his ground pretty much, and letting Israel come forward and be the aggressor,” Former UFC champion Bisping said during an appearance on Submission Radio. “And that makes it easier to counter. Also, Robert’s got to use a lot of feints, a lot of misdirection. The feints are the key to everything. When he throws feints, make Israel think he’s gonna throw a right hand or whatever, Israel reacts, and that’s when he attacks. He’s got to draw the attack out of Israel. But easier said than done.”
The wrestling appears to be something that many expect to play a factor at UFC 271. Michael Bisping is confident that Robert Whittaker has the skills to win on the feet.
