Bisping Ready to Take on Challengers





Talking trash is certainly nothing new in the world of mixed martial arts and Michael Bisping is ready to take on the fighters wanting to challenge him, according to a recent interview in Fighters Only.

Alan Belcher is among the fighters that have been wanting to take on Bisping and who have been none too subtle in expressing their desire to do so. In the interview, Bisping dismisses the challenges and essentially says that Belcher has only demonstrated an ability to win in matches against people who are purely jujitsu practitioners.

Again dismissing a challenge by another fighter, Chris Weidman, Bisping offers a mix of insulting remarks about Weidman's haircut and manages to insult Mark Munoz—whom he calls "fat"—at the same time that he throws insults at Weidman.

In fact, according to Bisping, he would have no reservations about taking on all three of the fighters that have been challenging him in the media recently – Brian Stann is the third – in the same night, if necessary. The display of confidence may stem a bit from the fact that Bisping has become so noticeable that other fighters are lining up to take a shot at him and, sometimes, have ended up taking a few personal shots at him in the process.

Bisping said in the interview that all of the fighters who have been wanting to take him on lately, with the exception of Belcher, seem like "nice guys".

Bisping is slated to take on Stann at UFC 152 in September of 2012, according to a press release. This will be the same night that the UFC Flyweight title match will be fought, with the event being held in Canada. The title match for the evening will be Andre Winner vs. Rob Sinclair and tickets have already gone on sale for the event.
