Den nuvarande mellanviktsmästaren i UFC, Michael Bisping, är inte den som gärna sitter tyst. Britten som gärna ger sig in i verbala dispyter gör det även denna gång. I ett radio program som Bisping brukar deltaga i ringer de upp Yoel Romeros manager, Malki Kawa. I programmet hävdar Kawa att Bisping blivit erbjuden en fight mot Romero tidigare i år men vägrat skriva på ett kontrakt, ett rykte som Bisping snabbt dementerar i programmet.
He’s the number one contender – Malki Kawa, manager åt Romero. That fight should have happened January 21st, you went for a knee injury that just popped up… you could have had this thing done in December, you did it now. Man, listen, you played it beautifully… all I’m saying is the following: stop the PED shit and the whole.
Varpå Bisping svarade följande.
No. I won’t. I have a very strong stance against it and I will never stop. You take performance enhancing drugs then I have zero respect, and if you defend someone, then Malki, I gotta lean towards zero respect as well, because, you know, it is a black spot on this beautiful sport that we have, and unfortunately, one day, somebody’s gonna die, and then it will be taken a lot more seriously, okay. Until that day- and God forbid that day comes… if you test positive for performance enhancing drugs, you should be banned for life and never given the opportunity to fight again, and that’s how I feel. Call me an idiot, call me whatever you want.
There’s no smoke without fire. I’ve been tested one of the most guys in the history of USADA working with the UFC, and I’ve never accidentally failed a test. How does one accidentally fail a test, because I tell you what, I’ve never done it… I’m pretty carefree to be honest, but I just avoid steroids.
Nedan kan ni lyssna på hela programmet.
Michael Bisping försvarade mellanviktsbältet för första gången under UFC 204 i oktober förra året. Där besegrade britten Dan Henderson via enhälligt domslut.
