SUPPOSEDLY BORING APPROACH TO FIGHTING  * BISPING SAID: 'HE TAKES PEOPLE DOWN, MY ONLY FEAR IS GETTING CUDDLED TO DEATH' By WILL GRIFFEE FOR MAILONLINE Published: 19:38 EDT, 2

November 2017 | Updated: 04:03 EDT, 3 November 2017 If Michael Bisping's skills in the octagon match his slickness on the microphone this Saturday night, Georges St-Pierre is in

trouble. The UFC middleweight champion was in fine fettle at the pre-fight press conference, unleashing a barrage of verbal combinations in the Canadian's direction.  'Georges is

one of the greats, but I'm gonna wipe him out, Saturday night I'm going to destroy him,' he said.  Bisping continued: 'I'm gonna wipe Georges out and then I'm

gonna beat up Robert Whittaker, I guess I've got to do that.  'Georges can do all the f****** push ups, back flips and protein shakes you want, you will never beat me in a fight. 

'He's never aggressive, he sits there with a smile on his face the whole time, he takes people down, my only fear is getting cuddled to death. 'Did you see his open workout?

It's like he's in slow motion. Did you see me? It's like it's fast forward. That will be the fight. I'm going to wipe him out, simple.' UFC 217 - FULL CARD 

Main card Michael Bisping v Georges St-Pierre  Cody Garbrandt v TJ Dillashaw  Joanna Jedrzejczyk v Rose Namajunas  Stephen Thompson v Jorge Masvidal Johny Hendricks v Paulo Borrachinha

Preliminary James Vick v Joseph Duffy Walt Harris v Mark Godbeer Michal Oleksiejczuk v Ion Cutelaba Mickey Gall v Randy Brown Early prelims  Alexey Oleinik v Curtis Blaydes Corey Anderson v

Ovince Saint Preux Aiemann Zahabi v Ricardo Ramos GSP is returning to the cage after a four year absence and will go into the fight  at a weight and reach disadvantage, having reigned in the

welterweight division for so long.  Despite the size differential, the Montreal native is confident in his ability to out-muscle the champion and appeared bemused by Bisping's tirade.

  'In every interview he's begging me not to wrestle him, like he's afraid. 'I'm very excited, I mean I don't know what to say, this is what I wanted, this is

what I wanted and I'm going to get it Saturday night,' he said.   The war of words may have been a massacre in favour of Bisping but he remains a narrow underdog to retain the

title.  Bookies may doubt the 38-year-old but the 'Count' has absolute confidence in his ability to dismantle GSP and put him to sleep at Madison Square Garden.  'Listen

Georges is a very good wrestler but do you know what the best takedown in the game is? A left hook. That's how I won this f****** belt and that's how I'll keep this

belt,' Bisping concluded.
