Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping is a mighty trash talker. Top 10 welterweight Jorge Masvidal is no slouch in the department, and has been jabbing at the Count, since Bisping disparaged Cuba during a bitter Twitter bicker with Yoel Romero. Masvidal father is Cuban.
Masvidal recently posted a screenshot of he and Bisping having words, and declared it a victory.

During his latest Believe You Me podcast, Bisping offered an explanation.
He was messaging me a ton of abuse so I gave him a bit of s*** back,” said Bisping, as transcribed by Jed Meshew for MMA Fighting. “And then at the end I just said, ‘Listen, I’m not interested in this. This is ridiculous.’ I can’t remember how I worded it but I said, ‘This is a two-way street, you started this, I’m not interested in this anymore. I’m not going back and forth, if you want to keep it up, you’re on your own.’
Obviously, when you were reading that, the whole thing sounds very, very juvenile. He sent one, I responded. He sent something back, then I responded. Then he carried it on and I’m like, listen, I can’t do this. I’m not acting like a teenager sending insulting messages back and forth over bloody Instagram. I’m almost 40 years old! So that’s why I said if you want to keep this up, you’re on your own. I’m not interested, you’re nothing to me, and that was that. And then the little p**** takes a screenshot and posts it on Instagram.
I’m not sure what he was trying to achieve. I think, if anything, it just makes him look like a fool. It makes him look like a moron to be honest, and I’m glad that I actually was the more responsible of the two. What a little b****.
I think he thinks in his mind that because I ‘backed down,’ – basically, acted like an adult and said, ‘Listen, f*** this, I’m done, I don’t need to do this – he thinks that that was me cowering to him and shying away from confrontation and being, as he would say, a little b****. No. It’s me being a grown-ass man, nearly 40 years old, and not arguing with some piece of trash from Florida. I’m not doing it. You’re on your own bud.
