Bleacher Report’s John Heinis:
Fighters Only recently interviewed UFC light heavyweight Rashad Evans.
The main topic of discussion was one of Evans former opponents, “The Count” Michael Bisping.
Evans said that Bisping is not a guy who seems that skilled, until you enter the cage against him.
“That’s one thing I learned by fighting him. And his takedowns have gotten a lot better, I have been impressed by that—and by his transitions to those takedowns,” Evans complimented.
The former light heavyweight champion then had no problem elaborating on these comments.
“See its one thing to be able to hit a takedown—anybody at this level in MMA, we all know how to take someone down. But its the little things that make your takedown effective and one of the things is your transition from your punches to your takedown.”
For those unfamiliar, Evans won a split decision over Bisping at UFC 78 in what was widely considered a boring fight.
