Michael Bisping promotar just nu sin kommande match mot Thales Leites som han kommer att möta under UFC Fight Night 72 och under onsdagen svarade han på frågor från media.
Bisping tog då upp Vitor Belforts förlust mot Chris Weidman under UFC 187 och berättade då att han skulle ville möta brassen i en returmatch om han får tillfälle att göra det, dock kommer han först och främst fokusera på möten som kan leda till en titelmatch. De två möttes senast under UFC on FX 7 i början av 2013, då Belfort segrade via knockout.
Det här berättade Bisping, via ”MMAFighting”:
Well, of course I would like to avenge any loss on my record, but I’m not sure avenge is the correct word. I mean, he was on TRT, so he was at an unfair advantage.
Yes, I would like a rematch, but also I’m focused on the title. I don’t really want match-ups that aren’t going to do anything for me. Of course, Vitor, I owe him a kick in the head or a punch in the face. It’s as simple as that, whichever way round we get it done it’s fine by me. But like I said, I’m focused on the title.
A fight with Vitor isn’t something right now that’s going to help achieve that, but certainly, as I just said, I would love to punch that guy in the face.
Bisping kommenterade även Belforts utseende och hur matchen slutade under UFC 187:
It was a bittersweet experience because I looked at him. He looks like he’s half the man he used to be, quite literally. His legs are like two little chicken legs dangling out of a female’s body. He looks like, to be honest, my 14-year-old son could’ve beaten him up.
Chris Weidman made him look like the coward that he is. So, yes, I enjoyed seeing it, but it was also bittersweet, because I would’ve loved the chance to get to have done that.
Bisping möter Leites under UFC Fight Night 72 den 18 juli i Glasgow i Skottland, vilket blir UFC:s debut i landet.
