Michael Bisping Shrugs Off Criticism Over Money Fight With GSP
“And it really took me off my rocker, I was really upset, I was going to fight Rory in his hometown to beat him there and go on to fight for the gold”.
“That’s all you have on me”, St-Pierre shot back. Bisping asked, looking down at his own glittery strap.”No one gives a [expletive]”. The conspicuous comment from White may not have been so unintentional, as UFC announced on Friday that they had signed a multi-year deal with T-Mobile Arena to become their new home in Vegas, complete with additional events.
St-Pierre (25-2) has not competed since defending his 170-pound title against Johnny Hendricks at UFC 167 in November 2013. “I’m a fighter. Fact”. I don’t know what you did. “You don’t have one”, Bisping said at one point to St-Pierre. I wanted to make a big boom in coming back and as I said, it’s like the stock market.
-Bisping: “That’s the difference between you and me…” I’m picking my fight, I’m not just good at trash talking, I do what I do in the octagon and do my talking with my fists. And if you come up and fight, it’s not really the fight that is unsafe.
Tyron Woodley isn’t counting on fighting Georges St-Pierre in the future.
Bisping went on to accuse St-Pierre of taking steroids and making excuses not to come back to the sport sooner. My journey in mixed martial arts is more than legit. I’ve [overcome] incredible obstacles.
Over the years the UFC has seen fighters come and go. I don’t think it will affect his legacy if he loses to Bisping.
Instead, the UFC chose to book Bisping vs. St-Pierre and, according to Dana White, the championship bout is expected to take place in July. Although St. Pierre has been out of the UFC for 3 1/2 years, the Canadian is still one of the biggest names in MMA.
I don’t mean to disrespect Bisping.
“I don’t want to look past Michael Bisping right now, but I have long-term goals”, St-Pierre said. I’ve seen several people grousing and complaining that Bisping may end up being the first man to beat St. Pierre and Silva. “And it was the flawless timing for me to do”. He’ll confront Michael Bisping for the UFC middleweight belt.
However, make no mistake about it, GSP’s return opponent is a soft touch and his easiest path to a large payday and a return to glory.
