"The UFC is growing constantly in presence here in the UK and at the open workouts last night there was a terrific turnout," he said.
"The arena sold out in 27 minutes, which is incredible. There's more and more media outlets covering it, it's in the national newspapers now, so yeah it's incredible and it's great to see."
He said he "understands" why the UFC might be reluctant to bring bigger headline bouts to the UK, given the vastly different pay-per-view model in the United States which he admits "generates massive money".
But he remains confident the sell-out crowd in London will still be treated to a great show, even if his prediction of victory inside two rounds doesn't come to fruition.
"Whether it's one round, two rounds, five rounds, it doesn't matter. All that matters is getting the win," Bisping said.
"I'm prepared to go 25 minutes straight at full pace, hard, redlining it from start to finish. Can he do the same? I guess we're going to find out."
