Michael Bisping has no sympathy for Vitor Belfort’s loss in retirement bout, “he’s built a career off being a cheat”

One man who is never short on words is the former UFC middleweight champion, “The Count” Michael Bisping.

With former opponent of Bisping’s, Vitor Belfort’s career coming to an end this past Saturday at UFC 224 with a violent knockout loss to Lyoto Machida, Bisping shared his thoughts on the legendary Brazilians departure from the sport on his podcast, Believe You Me.

 

“It’s very satisfying to see him lose if I’m honest. I don’t care for the guy. I think he’s built a career off being a cheat. The amount of insane steroids over his life, over his career, is evident to see. I mean you go back and look at his early career, the guy was insanely jacked. When we fought he was insanely jacked, and now you look at him and he looks like a **** beat up old man. And he’s getting knocked out like so and performing like so.

 

When he was juiced out of his mind, just **** tearing through everybody and then he has the hypocrisy to go out and talk about being a good person and this and that. The guy’s a cheat, the guy has no honor. I would love to have been the person to do that, but it’s kind of still enjoyable to see him get what he deserves because he’s gone out and done that too many a people and caused injuries. He **** up my eyeball, he’s the one to blame for that, so yeah.

 

“God bless Machida, job well done.”

 

The bitterness Bisping still retains for Vitor is not a good look, the kicking the guy when they're down look doesn't win him any fans and saying he would have loved that fight when he turned it down under any circumstances makes literally no sense.

 

Do you think Bisping comes off as bitter here? Or is he justified?

Bisping comes across as a bitter piece of chit. Vitor is one of the all time greats, and has been in the game forever. When Spits came in as a mouthy bully in TUF, Vitor was moving towards 10 years since his debut and already a legend in the sport.

 

I've become a brief fan of Bisping over the last year or two but this kind of rubbish is hard to listen to, especially since his last two fights he got chat on by two WW's

I love vitor... but he hasn't ruined my eyeball for life whilst on all kinds of drugs.

 

It's understandable, and consistent. Bisping hates drug cheats. Given he lost 3 number 1 contender fights to dudes who were subsequently found to be roiding it's not a surprise.

Bittersping's terrible striking defence caused that more than any drugs did mate

I understand he's made his distaste for Vitor known but revelling in someone else's misfortune just makes you seem bitter.

He's not revelling in his misfortune. He's glad he lost.

 

If vitor injured himself the day before the fight and he said that stuff it would be bitter. Isn't he allowed to cheer for one fighter over another?

The fact you put this all in the one quote box made me thin I was having a Memento moment thought id just lost time lol

 

Yeah I see it from his side but part of me thinks he should just zip it since he was offered the fight and could have easily got his revenge against post TRT Vitor.

Lol. Don't quite know what happened there!

He's retired. He's just a fan now, and fans can cheer for people to lose.

I hate Duckspring but I with Bubba here.

 

Vitor **** up his eye while roided to the gills. He's allowed to talk ****

 

TO BE FAIR vitor started at only 18 when EVERYONE did steroids, young vitor just wanted to level the playing field which ended up costing him all his testosterone later in his career

LoL i see where he's coming from with cheaters but he could have left it alone and let Vitor go out with dignity but he just had to throw some salt. 

 

It's not like he's never cheated before.....holding the cage, kneeing a downed opponent, spitting on them...

 

Which to me is kinda worse than someone being on an exemption that was allowed. Maybe he was abusing that but he clearly wasn't after they took it away and Spits could at least give the man his props for that. .
