Michael Bisping on Cung Le bout: 'My back's against the wall'
The question now is what's left for Bisping. A win gets him back on track to something, although even that isn't clear. A loss, however, would be particularly devastating. Any hope of a title shot would likely evaporate and questions about his status as a middleweight contender would most certainly appear.
While Bisping is reluctant to acknowledge the consequences are hugely important, he is willing to admit he's fighting to get himself out of a very bad career spot. He notes it's time to win if he has any hope of accomplishing his goals.
"I don't feel like it's do or die because that's just my attitude, but yeah, my back's against the wall, he admitted.
"Listen, I've never lost two in a row in my life and I'm coming off of a loss. It's as simple as that. I'm coming off of a loss and I don't intend to make it two losses in a row. So yeah, my back's up against the wall.
"I'm proclaiming to be one of the best out there and losing fights doesn't really go hand-in-hand with being one of the best. I've got to go out there and got a point to prove: a point to prove to myself, to my supporters, to my haters, to the UFC, to my family, everything," he contended.
"Of course, yeah," Bisping repeated, "my back's against the wall."
