The English Michael Bisping is considered a likely rival of Anderson Silva on the Brazilian's return to the Octagon, but, this weekend, another fighter is eyeing a possible opportunity to face the Brit: Quinton Rampage Jackson.

The former light heavyweight champion called Bisping a traitor during a live session on the platform Twitch. Jackson said he helped the Englishman at the beginning of his career, but later his now rival testified against him in a court case.

” Fu**-*e Michael Bisping. He is a traitor. I was always nice to Bisping, I helped him train. I even paid for half of his training, but he wanted me to pay for his sparring partners. He hurt my sparring partners and everything and I never cared. I was always nice to him, and then he made a statement against me in the court case. This is s***. How do you do that to someone who helped you? That's why I would like to face him. He's an idiot! (…) I would even face him on the playground if I was sure I wouldn’t go to jail”, he said. Rampage.

Bisping, who started his career in light heavyweight – the same division as Rampage – now fights at middleweight. However, the Englishman guarantees that this would not be a problem for a possible fight between them.

“He's so unprofessional that he can't even weigh 92,9 kg (light heavyweight limit), imagine if he could make a combined weight! I will face him at whatever weight he wants,” Bisping replied on his Twitter account.
