Michael Bisping faces fellow “TUF 14” coach Jason “Mayhem” Miller in the main event of The Ultimate Fighter Finale on Saturday night. While acknowledging that he rubs some fans the wrong way, Bisping says what’s important is beating Miller, and that he will. And further if that you don’t like him, you can kiss his ass.
“I think this fight matches up very well in all departments. I’m a better striker. I’m a better wrestler. I’m bigger. I’m stronger. I’m faster. I’m more athletic. I’ve got better cardio. My jiu-jitsu is just as good as his.”
“He thinks he’s some grappling master. Who has he submitted? Last I saw he was almost getting choked by Jake Shields. Alright, he tapped out Kazushi Sakuraba, but come on. Sakuraba hasn’t been himself for a long, long time. I think I’m better everywhere than Jason.”
“At first, of course you want everyone to like you – for it to be fluffy and balloons, where you’re the GSP, and everybody thinks you’re amazing. But that ain’t the situation, and at some point you’ve got to come to terms with it.
“I have a lot of supporters in England. I have a lot of supporters in the U.S., as well, contrary to popular belief. I also have a lot of people who aren’t fans of myself and don’t really care for me too much. There’s nothing I can do to change that. I’m always going to be myself. That’s just the way it is. Some people like it, some people don’t like it. If you like it, awesome. Hit me up on Twitter, @bisping. If you don’t like it, kiss my ass.”
“Those that like me seem to like me; those that don’t like me, don’t like me. I’m just an average, working-class guy who’s trying to do well in his chosen sport. If that offends some people, then unlucky.
“‘m not playing it up to where I’m being anything. I’m not an a——, but some people can’t take a f—— joke is what the problem is. If you can’t take a joke, stop being so serious and relax. Realize that maybe sometimes I’m being sarcastic. Maybe sometimes I’m busting your f—— balls. It’s called banter. Anybody that’s ever played sports, ever been part of a team can’t deny that. They all bust each other’s balls and all of it. For the most part, that’s all I’m doing. If people have a problem with that, then they can kiss my ass.”
“Make sure you watch the fight, and ‘Mayhem’ Miller, when I’m done with him, he’s going to be just another washed-up TV star walking around Hollywood looking like a crackhead begging for a dollar.”
