Bisping was a bit dismissive of Kennedy's win, saying "He didn't try for much else apart from holding me down for dear life." And saw his upcoming fight in juxtaposition to what he felt was Kennedy's performance (transcription via Luke Thomas):
"No, Cung Le isn't taking me down and I won't take him down. This fight has fireworks written all over it and that's why I'm excited for the match up. It'll be a great striking battle.
"I'm really looking forward to main eventing in China and I'm going to give people what they paid to see," he went on. "I feel like I didn't live up to my words last time."
...
"I've got a point to prove: a point to prove to myself and the paying public, that you should still watch my fights, that I'm still a contender. But that all starts with Cung Le," Bisping said. "Apologies for the last fight. I was trying my best, but only one of us wanted to fight and that was me. The other guy didn't engage."
Bisping went on to proclaim that "his back is against the wall," and that he "doesn't intend to make it two losses in a row." Cung Le feels like the right fight for Bisping right now.
