The controversial case involving the fighter Germain de Randamie, what is it stripped of UFC women's bantamweight champion post after not accepting to face the Brazilian Chris Cyborg, even left for Michael Bisping. This is because the middleweight champion has been criticized for not accepting a duel against Yoel romero, number 1 in the ranking up to 84kg. However, according to English, an injury prevents him from entering the octagon, which makes the scenarios different.

“I have to be very careful with what I say, because I know everyone is going to talk a lot of s*** about what I say. “You are a f***ing coward, you defended your belt against the f***ing Dan Henderson! You are running away from the main challengers!” That's not what happened, you sons of bitches. The UFC offered me the fight against Dan Henderson, and then I had to operate on my knee. I actually had surgery on both my knees,” she declared, in an interview with the “Believe You Me” podcast.
Although he makes his displeasure with the comparisons clear, Bisping admits that he understands the side of those who put him in a similar situation to the Dutch woman. However, he makes a reservation about the difference between the two.
“People have always associated Germain de Randamie me from the beginning because as soon as he won Holly holm and won the UFC featherweight belt, she said immediately, still in the octagon, when Joe Rogan tried to organize a fight between her and Chris Cyborg: “No, I won’t be able to fight. I have to operate on my hand.” She ran away from the number one challenger as soon as she won the belt, still in the octagon! Later, at the press conference, she said that she should have a rematch against Holly holm, because the fight was very balanced. One minute! Do you have to operate by hand or not? I know that people will attack me from all sides, because it seems, to those on the outside, that I am running away from Yoel romero, which is not true at all. I had two surgeries. I'm back to training now, but I still can't go through a full training camp. But I understand the parallels that people draw between my reality and that of Germain de Randamie, and I understand that they call me a hypocrite”, he concluded.
Bisping won the middleweight belt with a knockout Luke Rockhold at UFC 199, in June 2016. Since then, he has only performed once, when he defended his title against Dan Henderson at UFC 204 last October.
