Why bang, when you can counter, win a decision, consume little damage, cut down on scar tissue and ready yourself to fight again soon?
To be honest I am not that bothered by it. I don't think Bisping has tried this tactic in the past. I think it was just the strategy his camp wanted to employ against Leben who is one sided, predictable, yet still dangerous. Ask Terry Martin. I think it was smart. Leben won't stop coming forward, how else do you fight someone like that?

People will still bang.
