I read that Bisping’s staying home to train for this fight, and I think he’s making a mistake by not going with Rampage’s camp again because it’s so important to have great guys to train with who can push you. You can’t go into practice and be the top dog every day. You want to get your ass kicked in practice. You want to walk away from practice saying, ‘man, what is going on?’ You want to have that little bit of frustration because if you’re not to that level, that means they’re not pushing you to that level, and when you go into the fight you may go against someone who may be better than your training partners and you’re getting your butt whipped and you don’t know why, and you can’t make the adjustments. So you really need partners who can kick your butt, and I really want to thank Nate Marquardt, Joey Villasenor, Keith Jardine, Georges St-Pierre, Tom Kong, David Loiseau, my older brother Lance Evans, who’s a fighter now, and Paul Buentello.
I’ll leave this week’s blog with a message for Bisping. Mike, on November 17th, you can look forward to staring across the ring at somebody who’s gonna bring immense pressure, something you’ve never felt before. We’re gonna stand and just got toe to toe and battle it out. Believe me, you’ve never felt this before. You probably went to camp with Rampage and Rampage never gave it to you like I’m gonna give it to you. If you got jumped by ten people, I think your ass whipping would be less than what I’m gonna give you on November 17th.
