Chris Weidman, a mixed martial arts UFC middleweight champion, refuses to agree with the idea that Michael Bisping is a representation of a challenging fighter. He even called Bisping a “joke” at a recent interview.
The UFC middleweight champion can show trashy attitude at time, as some would say. Some would even consider him as cocky. Though this is the attitude that he presents, he can surely have the right to be one, being able to back it up inside the octagon. Having this bragging rights, he would say pretty much whatever he wants to. When Weidman opened his mouth once more, he was actually talking about a certain UFC MMA fighter. This fighter belongs to the UFC middleweight who exist for quite some time, but has not worked hard enough and do everything that it takes to get a chance and win a title. He was actually referring to Michael Bisping
Bisping had a close victory in a fight against Thales Leites in Scotland. After that, he once again decided to take his shot to get a title. In a Q&A on Periscope that was conducted, Chris Weidman talked about Bisping. Oh man, he spoke so much about the fellow fighter!
Chris Weidman has this to say:
“Luke Rockhold’s a tough guy. Jacare’s [Ronaldo Souza] a tough guy. Yoel Romero’s a scary guy. Scary looking guy. Bisping is a joke”.
“I would love for him to fight for the title because I’d literally beat him sleepwalking”, as Weidman laughed. “I think I could beat him while I’m sleepwalking. He has no punching power so I can literally fall asleep while he’s punching me, just get a hold of him and throw him on the floor. If he doesn’t get knocked out when he falls on the floor I’ll just submit him.”
“I could submit him with my eyes closed. 100 percent. That’s not even me talking any junk. That’s just me being honest”
“That poor guy”, according to Weidman. “It would just be such an easy fight. I don’t think I’d even have to get in shape for it. I hope to God that he somehow gets his way to the top. Right now he’s so far from it, but I really hope he can get there. I know he’d talk trash back and it’d be exciting”.
“I just don’t have full confidence that he could get to the top. Boring decision. Boring decision. If he fights a guy like Romero he’d really have to get lucky to win that fight.”
Weidman has torn Bisping apart, having to say nasty things about him. Weidman discussed the reason why he doesn’t believe the fighting skills of Bisping. He included that Bisping is not in shape to get to the top. He even looks forward to hearing Bisping trash talk and Weidman thinks that this is exciting.
Weidman even crashed a press conference and discussed his prediction for the MMA fight of Michael Bisping and Luke Rockhold.
Watch out as Weidman defends his title against Rockhold at a later date this year.
