Bisping: Shame on you Dan Henderson for the insinuation

Until someone in MMA dies from PED abuse, no one has suffered more from them than UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping. ‘The Count’ was knocked out by Dan Henderson, who was legally on PEDs. He lost to Wanderlei Silva, who literally ran from a PED test, and eventually departed the league for RIZIN, where there is no testing. He lost to Chael Sonnen, who was on PEDs legally and illegally, and was eventually suspended for two years, only to return to Bellator MMA where fighters face far less robust drug testing. And he was knocked out by Vitor Belfort who was on PEDs legally, sort of.

Now Bisping defends his belt for the first time in a rematch vs. Dan Henderson at UFC 204 on October 8, 2016 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England. The first fight ended in Hendo’s favor, with The Count suffering what is widely considered to be the best knockout in league history (or worst, depending on your perspective).

When it comes to Henderson’s past TUE for TRT, Bisping has been scathing. At the recent UFC 204 Gym Day, Hendo responded.

“I think he’s a little bit naive about certain things,” said Henderson to Marc Raymond for MMA Fighting. “I was taking TRT when it was legal and really wasn’t taking much. That’s why I think it’s funny. I think his body has changed more since we fought the first time than mine has. He looks a lot bigger and a lot different now than he did then. I look about the same except for maybe a little grayer here and there.”

Henderson’s remark that Bisping’s body has undergone notable change set off another round of trash talk, that began with a explanation.

“Yeah, through blood, sweat, and tears and hard work,” said Bisping. “Dan Henderson saying that just shows what a moron he is. Take one look at Dan Henderson, you can see there’s not much going on in between there, Captain Caveman, Fred Flintstones, whatever you want to call it, you can see he is a throwback to the Neanderthal man.

“For him to throw out insinuations like that, shame on you Dan Henderson. I’ve been tested more times than anybody — I don’t know if that’s accurate, but i’m still gonna do a Chael Sonnen and say that — I’ve been tested more times than anybody, I’ve never even come close. Not even a whistle. Not even a hint of suspicion in any of my tests. You can test my blood right now. I will piss in any cup you want.”
