Benavidez burns Bisping at presser

UFC 152 is co headlined by Michael Bisping vs. Brian Stann, and Joseph Benavidez vs. Demetrious Johnson. Trash talk can generate interest ahead of fight, and make both fighters money. However, Bisping directed unkind remarks at the events other

In my opinion, and I think in most people’s, this is the main event. This is the real main event. Two big hard hitting guys. No one cares about little flyweights, this is the real main event, this is the real big fight, tune in cause someone’s getting knocked out, ain’t going to be me though.

At the UFC 152 presser, Benavidez struck back.

It was pretty silly of course when I heard it, but it’s Michael Bisping,” explained Benavidez. “Everyone pretty much expects something ridiculous to come out of his mouth, right? I mean, that’s pretty much what he does.

Bisping took the bait.

Listen pal, when you were a glint in your dad’s eye, I was kicking ass in the UFC,” barked the Brit.

And probably saying ridiculous things, also, Benavidez retorted. It’s not gonna change the fact that [Demetrious Johnson and I are] the top two guys in the world and that we’re going out to make history that night. So everyone that supports us, thanks and we love you. Everyone that doesn’t, including Bisping, I think you soon will and you’ll be excited for this. So yeah man, it’s gonna be great, and [*pats Bisping on the shoulder*] glad to have you on the card as co-main, buddy.
