Michael Bisping Calls UFC Legend Who Knocked Him Out “Worst Person in MMA”

Sports news » Michael Bisping Calls UFC Legend Who Knocked Him Out “Worst Person in MMA”

Michael Bisping has strongly criticized the fighter whose head kick resulted in him losing sight in one eye.

The most celebrated British fighter in history achieved UFC champion status despite being partially blind.

Michael Bisping`s serious health problems began after his fight with Vitor Belfort in January 2011.

‘The Phenom’ knocked him down with a high kick before finishing the fight with ground and pound.

Michael Bisping recently engaged in an hour-long conversation with former boxer Carl Froch.

During their discussion, Froch asked Bisping to name the “worst person” in MMA.

Initially, ‘The Count’ started talking about Tim Kennedy, a former opponent.

However, he quickly concluded that the man who caused his partial blindness while using performance-enhancing drugs deserved the title more.

“Who else is there?” Bisping questioned after criticizing Kennedy.

“Oh, Vitor Belfort. A Brazilian steroid user. You know, one of the biggest cheaters in the sport.”

“I have never used steroids in my life. When you enter a cage or a ring with another person, it should be about skill and who is the better fighter, who is willing to train hard.”

“Now we have contracts and drug testing and all of that. But more importantly, as a man, you should aim to win fairly. By waking up early, running, going to the gym – but this guy was on every steroid imaginable.”

“So, forget Tim Kennedy. Vitor Belfort is the “worst person in MMA.”

Bipsing and Froch also discussed a hypothetical street fight between them.

“I’ll just take you down. You’ll be on your back in no time,” Bisping, a UFC Hall of Famer, predicted.

Froch boasted about his ability to keep Bisping at bay with his jab, but the MMA veteran, in a polite manner, suggested it would be an uneven match.

Bisping added: “Listen, mate. This isn`t a competition, but I will say this…

“I think you’d be surprised [laughs]. I was known for my hands back in the day, Carl. Come on, buddy.”
