    ... I've always said the game is more mental than people realise. If you fight on the right level, it is the mind that makes the difference.

    So many fighters using performance coaches, psychologists etc

    From this Fox card Rashad said he uses a performance coach and Bisping said he just started using a head doctor.

    Who else is there?

    So that would be 45% right?

    Good to hear Bisping his seeing a shrink. I thought he needed that for awhile to get over the Henderson knockout and the Kang knockdown. He did look less gunshy against both Miller and Sonnen that he has in the past.

    His striking has definitely improved. It is clear to see. He traded with Akiyama too.

    Silva had trouble striking with Sonnen because Chael is full speed ahead.

    Bisping plants his feet much more, pulls back much less, keeps his hands up much more and puts some spite on his punches much more. Bisping used to be a very poor amateur boxer running around throwing pitter patter.
