It was only a matter of time before Chael Sonnen and Michael Bisping began their trash talk to each other.
Just recently Sonnen went on ESPN radio and made the following comments about Bisping:
“You know, I think Bisping does a lot of stuff really well. The biggest problem he’s got is that he just drew the ‘Ace of Spades.’ I’m not just another fighter on the roster or a middleweight. I’m the middleweight champion; undefeated and undisputed. I can beat any man God ever made. Michael Bisping does not survive.”
Later on Bisping was a guest on HDNet’s “Inside MMA.” The following is his response to Sonnen’s comments:
“Okay. One. Let’s start with the obvious. He’s not the middleweight champion. He’s been beaten many, many times. He’s been submitted more times than I care to mention. Not to mention, the last time he lost a fight by submission, there were some issues involving performance enhancing drugs. I don’t know what the deal is. Apparently, he has one testicle. One testicle! This is why he uses performance enhancing drugs. He’s gonna need more than one little ball to fight me next weekend!”
After his brash comments towards Sonnen, Bisping went on to talk about how he thinks the fight will go down:
“He’s gonna try and take me down, lay on top of me and smother me to death. Me, on the other hand, I will be arriving to fight this guy. I’m gonna look to knock him out. Of course. I call my fights. It’s not gonna be easy. He’s a tough opponent. I’m sure it’s gonna be an amazing fight. All joking aside, it’s gonna be a tough fight.”
In Bisping’s closing comment he explained that he was grateful for the fight:
“It’s gonna be a tough fight, but I’m ready. I’ve trained very, very hard. I’m looking forward to the challenge and it’s a massive opportunity as well.”
