Bisping: I’m going to take a big $#!@ on GSP’s master plan
Michael Bisping: “I’m gonna rain on the parade. I’m gonna take a big s*** on that bonfire.”
UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping has been accused of seeking easier fights the #1 contender would provide. The Count defended his belt first vs. Dan Henderson, and now plans to fight returning welterweight G.O.A.T. Georges St-Pierre. However, earlier this week, Bisping said if GSP is not ready to fight in July, Yoel Romero gets the shot.
On Thursday Bisping told listeners of his SiriusXM radio show The Countdown that GSP hs a master plan, and he intends to thwart it.
Here’s what I think GSP’s plan is,” began Bisping, as transcribed by Jed Meshew for MMA Fighting. “He comes back, he fights me, he beats me. In the time that takes, Demian Maia beats Jorge Masvidal then he fights Tyron Woodley. [St-Pierre] believes – because he said this – that Maia beats Woodley. Then, from him fighting me, he fights Maia, relinquishes the 185-pound belt, then he goes for the 170 belt. He fights Maia because stylistically it’s a good fight for him because Georges is a great wrestler and he’s very, very accomplished at jiu-jitsu. I think he can do what I’m going to do to GSP, stop his takedowns and win the fight on the feet.
Then from there – he’s spoke about this – then he’s gonna relinquish that and then fight Conor McGregor for the lightweight belt. That is his master plan, I guarantee it. And if he can pull it off, then he would definitely go down as the greatest mixed martial arts fighter in history.
I do think that after that, he’s gonna fight at his weight class – 170 – and then go for the big, big money fight against Conor, which would be almost as big as, maybe, Conor vs. Floyd. That would do bigger numbers than Conor vs. Nate Diaz. It would be massive.
You’ve gotta look at the dollars and cents. That, for [the UFC] – because me and Conor are never going to fight. I’m way too big, I’d slap him around silly, let’s be honest. But GSP, that’s fathomable. That could very, very easily happen, and if I own the company, that’s what I want. But I’m gonna rain on the parade. I’m gonna take a big s*** on that bonfire.
