Bisping: Cung Le tried to cheat me out of a lot
Michael Bisping: “He tried to cheat me out of a victory. If I would have lost to him… people would probably be asking me to retire… He tried to cheat me out of a lot.”
UFC middleweight Michael Bisping has lost just five of his past 16 fights. Of those five, Dan Henderson and Vitor Belfort were on TRT, Chael Sonnen was on TRT and later failed a PED test, and Wanderlei Silva received a lifetime ban from the sport for running from a PED test. Tim Kennedy is the only clean fighter Bisping lost to in that span.
Bisping beat fighters who were on PEDs too, including Chris Leben, and most recently Cung Le.
In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani for MMAFighting, “The Count” responded.
“Fortunately, I won the fight,” Bisping said. “If I lost, I would be outraged and would have more to say. I don’t want to kick a man while he’s down. He has to explain this to his kids. Hopefully, this will be a lesson for him and everyone: this is not a road one should take.
“In some ways, I feel bad for him and he has to pay the consequences.”
“He tried to cheat me out of a victory. If I would have lost to him, I wouldn’t be fighting Luke Rockhold in the main event, people would probably be asking me to retire … He tried to cheat me out of a lot.”
Bisping fights Luke Rockhold at UFC Fight Night: Rockhold vs. Bisping (UFC Fight Night 55) on November 8, 2014 in Sydney, Australia.
