Jorge Rivera now claims his bout against Michael Bisping is personal after words were thrown back and forth between the fighters. Rivera talked to lowkick.com where he explained the match-up and his feelings on Bisping and the bout:
“Every fight is personal. I love when people say ‘nothing is personal.’ We are going to punch each other in the face, and you can be damn sure it’s going to be personal real quick. You gotta do what you gotta do to get over, and that’s it. I’m not worried about anything. It’s all fun right now before the fight, but when we get there – it will be strictly business … I think I have better hands than him, and I hit harder. I’ll be looking to keep this on the feet, and hit him hard. Honestly, I’m just looking to get inside the cage and fight him. The fun time will be over pretty soon, and we’ll get it on in Australia. I think it’s the most important fight of my career, and I’m ready to get it on.”
