Bisping: Most of the UFC are ‘posers’

This weekend he fights Luke Rockhold at UFC 199 for the middleweight title and recently spoke to the media about taking a last minute, and his thoughts on the mindset of most fighters in the UFC:
“I’ve never turned down a fight in my life,” Bisping said. “There’s not a single thing in this world that I do better than fighting, and since I was eight years old, I’ve always been a fighter. I really have. This is who I am as a person. I don’t need eight weeks. I think I can beat anybody in the world right now, whether it’s at the end of a training camp or not, and that’s what you have to be. Luke Rockhold isn’t the same person. He’s not cut from the same cloth as me. He’s a pretender. He’s a poser. A lot of the UFC roster are. They’re all posers. I’m a real fighter. They’re ‘athletes.’ I ain’t an athlete. I’m a fighter, and you’re going to see that tomorrow night.”
