Bisping: Weidman’s success ‘somewhat circumstantial’
Michael Bisping has never quite been able to get himself in position for a UFC title shot, but also believes the current champions success has been ‘somewhat circumstantial’.
British middleweight Michael Bisping has never quite been able to get himself in position for a UFC title shot, but also believes the current champions success has been ‘somewhat circumstantial’:
No offense to Chris – and I say this to him all the time, as well, so he’s probably like, ‘I’m sick of Bisping,’ Bisping told MMAjunkie. But I say all the time it’s been very circumstantial for him.
Mark Munoz came back after a long layoff and had a terrible performance, Bisping said. He beat Munoz. Then Chris laid out for two years or something like that, injured, then came back and got a title shot. Anderson Silva acted like an idiot, and he beat him for the title. Then Anderson broke his leg (in the rematch).
Then (Lyoto) Machida came back, and I didn’t think that fight was very good. (Luke) Rockhold showed that Machida isn’t necessarily maybe what everybody thought he was. And then Vitor Belfort, (Weidman) gets to fight Vitor off the juice.
