Known in the world of MMA for assuming a loudmouth stance, the Englishman Michael Bisping surprised by his measured behavior after the defeat to Vitor belfort in São Paulo, on January 19th. Until this Friday (15). At a press conference before the UFC weigh-in in his home country, Vitor's opponent was harsh in his words towards the Brazilian and asked for a rematch.
Bisping used profanity to comment on Belfort's hormone replacement treatment. “He's been caught for this in the past, and now he's allowed to put steroids in his s***. What can I say? He's a f***ing cheater. But I do want a rematch with the guy”, he said.
Despite the strong words, Michael Bisping insisted on talking about hormone replacement treatment, also used by other Ultimate athletes. However, at no point did the Englishman contest the result of the fight in the UFC Sao Paulo. But during the commentary on the defeat, Bisping reiterated his desire for a rematch against Vitor.
Despite Bisping's wishes, both he and Belfort already have opponents defined for the coming months. The English will face Alan belcher, at UFC 157, in April. The Brazilian, on the other hand, will face Luke Rockhold, the last Strikeforce middleweight champion, upon Ultimate's return to Brazil, in May.
