The old rivals of Vitor belfort took advantage of the Brazilian's defeat to Chris Weidman last Saturday (23), at UFC 187, to criticize the “Phenomenon”. This time it was Michael Bisping who spared no words to comment on Belfort's performance, who lost to the middleweight champion by technical knockout in the first round.

Bisping, knocked out by Belfort in January 2013, has been criticizing the Brazilian ever since, accusing him of obtaining an illegitimate advantage through the use of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Now that the Brazilian is no longer authorized to undergo treatment, the Englishman highlighted his rival's physical change.

“I looked at Belfort and he looked literally half the man he used to be. His legs looked like two chicken legs, attached to a woman's body. To be honest, it looked like my 14 year old son could have spanked him. Chris Weidman It made him look like the coward he really is,” Bisping said, according to the North American website “MMA Junkie”.

Bisping stated that he wants to re-edit the fight with Belfort, but admitted that this is not his priority at the moment. “Of course, I would like to avenge that defeat of my cartel, but I don't know if revenge is the right word. He had an unfair advantage with TRT. I want to kick him and punch him in the head, simple as that. But I'm focused on the title. Fighting Vitor is not something that would help me achieve this, but I would love to punch him in the face.”

Bisping already has a date set to return to the UFC octagon: it will be on July 18, in Glasgow, Scotland, when he faces the Brazilian Thales leites.
