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.
