i like bisping after this fight i can forgive him for the knee, i could understand him being caught up in the moment but this guy comes to fight how can you not like him?
I want to see these videos he's talking about I can't find them. Anyone have a link to it? And don't give me a link to some random site I won't accept it
Indeed. I was just giving an example to better explain my point. When it comes right down to it, all your successes and failures are reflected in the man in the mirror. And while a man can respect his bloodline and lineage that gave him that minutely advantage, he alone owns them all. Champions come from all creeds and colors. Moderatin is a vice; moderation in discipline is failure.
Bisping is the superior fighter in all aspects of MMA compared to Rivera. And, the knee to the head when Rivera was down made no difference to the outcome of the fight. Rivera had recovered by round two.. Bisping was right to say that Rivera is not in the same league as him. Bisping was right to be critical of Rivera's 'juvenile' antics on youtube. Ultimately, its about the fight and who won. Nice job Bisping!
@BobReefer Your right, Bisping walked up to Rivera, didn't really get in his face, and demanded that he apologize, and said "go home loser", but these two ended up hugging cause Bisping thought Rivera's body language was apologetic, and squashed the beef. Lesnar went right up to Mir's face, said something about beating him over the head with a golden horseshoe, no beef was squashed, and Mir still want to literally kill Lesnar. And there's that stuff with attacking one of the event's sponsors.
@cazz3000 I would never unsubscribe for something like that i respect you for your mma commentary the same as i respect bisping as a fighter regardless of different opinions ect. My point is just because Im sure you get TONS of people trashing the UK dosent mean the entire US has the same perception. For every arrogant American fan trolling the comments their are probably 3 genuine American fans who respect fighters for their skill set and that alone. Most my favorite fighters are Brazilian
How the hell does Ariel keep up with all the live fights when he's clearly missing them by interviewing other fighters? He was talking to Bisping for practically all of the BJ/Fitch 2nd round.
if anyone was in bisping shoes you would take it to heart, end of the day rivera took the piss out of him on the internet and bisping got revenge,hope to see rivera again though seems a nice bloke.
to be quite honest if anyone insults you personally and you had 15 mins to fight! rules sometime escape your first thought, red mist descends and your fighting someone you really hate.
Very disappointed in Ariel Helwani and his one-side approach to Bisping in every interview about this fight. Completely let him off the hook, ignored the public dispariging statements Bisping made about Jorge- basically ignored all of the details about the fight.
OMFG I WAS FOCUSED ON THE PENN VS FITCH FIGHT IN THE BACKGROUND LOL... I WAS EXPECTING EVERYONE TO SCREAM WHEN BJ TOOK FITCH DOWN BUT I GUESS I WAS THE ONLY ONE LOL....CANT BELIEVE BJ PENN OUTWRESTLED FITCH THATS FUCKING CRAZY
@@TheBeastMan-nt4mv GSP is too worried about abduction by little green men. Bispings 20 wins in UFC,tie with GSP's 20 UFC wins record. Is your caps lock in working order?
Remember when he was a coach, and how he didn't do ANY trash talking or made ANY attempt to get under Hendo's skin? A class act. That being said, how come we all scream for a fine and suspension when an Englishman does these post fight antics, but when, I don't know, some 300 pound, COORS LIGHT drinking country boy does similar things, we just either laugh it off, or call him an asshole, and move on?
Tell that to Jay Cutler, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dorian Yates, the list could go on and on. Everything a man has, he builds. And those men are a clear examples of this truth. There may be a miniscule difference in advantage from birth, ranging from education to genetics but it's just that, vary miniscule. Be it pertaining to his body, or anything else. You'd be foolish to think otherwise.
@USPSAman: Jorge needs to realise that in this is the fight game and when you talk smack and continously make jokes at someone's expense it will come back and bite you. 1 video fair enough, but he just carried on insulting him. They both need to grow up. Bisping has been docked his win bonus, has Jorge learnt his lesson?
I don't know why everyone hates him. Im aussie and I think he's one of the best in the middleweight division. definitely no chance against silva but still a top level fighter. If you saw the rubbish rivera was talking about him you'd understand why he had to defend his honour. I wouldnt put up with that shit.
big ups to bisping for telling people his chin is fine. dan henderson hit him with one of the hardest punches ever. it would of knocked anyone out. bisping doesnt have a glass jaw
Listen I love bisping he's a good fighter and hes very entertaining and quick witted but that knee was intentional out of anger and I mean c'mon he fucking spit on someone,I have never "accidentally" spit on someone lol and I'm sure none of u have accidentally spit on someone
@Wrestlefan1 The knee was definitely intentional if Rivera is telling the truth. At the end of the round he said he walked up to him and asked him if he liked that.
If Bisping thinks Rivera's antics were bad I can't wait to see what Sonnen has in store for him. Bisping will be crying during the weigh-ins for sure LOL.
@Wrestlefan1 Let's just make one thing clear first of all, I am in no way condoning Bisping's action, and if you look at the first part of my initial post, I was kinda attacking Bisping as well. Then you can say I was defending him on the second part, but not defending him too hard, it's just that his post fight antics kinda reminded me of what Lesnar did to Mir in their second fight. I also think it's funny when Rivera's camp did what they did and they're crying for a fine/suspension.
They should have given Jorge a chance to knee Bisping while he's down before they continued. That'd be fair... especially since Bisping doesn't seem to think it's a big deal. :/
@finishembird You actually saw the spit land on him? You must have had some special TV feed, cause I didnt. He did say he spit on the ground, which is what I saw, but, you know, you must be right. You were right beside him when it happened correct?
You know, I thought that Michael Bisping was a real prick for the illegal knee and spitting at Jorge Rivera's Corner. The reality is that Bisping should not have let Jorge Rivera's immaturity get into his head.However, I can definitely understand why Bisping was so pissed off. If any of you actually watch the "leaked" Jorge Rivera video Making fun of Bisping you would understand why Bisping did what he did.
@USPSAman: Bisping apologised for it. All Rivera was saying after the bell was "Good fight" and trying to hug him. From Bisping's perspective, Rivera had spent a whole month running him and his family down, of course his blood is going to run high. The best thing Bisping can take from this is he needs to either shut his mouth (a la GSP) and let his fighting do the talking OR join in with the banter and hopefully get the better of his man. Bisping should have known better though.
@taylort123 ahh fair enough, i wondered what that smell coming from my ears was... ...i think you're looking into this too much Gabriel Gonzaga won his fight with Chris Tuscherer due to a knee to the groin, no one said anything Cro Cop won his fight with Mustapha Al Turk due to a poke to the eye, no one said anything Bisping lands an illegal knee, which is one of the most common, all of a sudden its deliberate/life changing?! also, at what point did i label him a KO artist?...
@Jorbrad96 I think he was neutral the whole way through. Look at the Jorge interviews- it seems he sides with him as well. The whole point of an interview is to get a fighter's point of view, not necessarily the true facts. That's for the viewers to decide.
Bisping vs Sonnen will be a good fight the only problem is I like both guys equally so wouldnt know who to root for but Sonnen would wind Bisping up alot more than Rivera
@wwechamp7 okay he took him down left and right but what did he do on the ground? you could clearly see that rivera was out of it and didnt look the same after that illegal knee
all the non UK people seem to be trashing him I don't understand why? hes not really bad mouthing people he does talk about himself on a high level but that probably keeps him more confident in a fight and that knee shopt yes he probably did it to hurt Rivera but he had it coming I mean who here wouldnt have done the same if someone insulted you and your family so much??
@kai0shin well in bispings defense jorge called him out, then he started talking trash to bisping what was he supposed 2 do?? that knee was uncalled for though
Very disappointed in Ariel Helwani and his one-side approach to Bisping in every interview about this fight. Completely let him off the hook, ignored the public dispariging statements Bisping made about Jorge- basically ignored all of the details about the fight. Helwani: Did you mean to spit on him? Seriously?? Watch the tape. Making eye contact he actually squares up to spit directly at Phinney. Come on now. No guts to call Bisping out on it.
Dude i agree with everything you said but when you spit towards someone after winning it shows your true class. Also, taking a knee like that to the head could have impaired rivera from even continuing let alone win it!@Tommy9834
the spitting was ridiculous. bisping vs sonnen next plz, if sonnen doesnt have anything else crazy come out. bisping would commit suicide from the trash talk
@Wrestlefan1 Yeah. He had plenty of time to wind up that knee and did so. The only good thing about Michael Bisping is some time in the near future we will get to see him knocked unconscious again, but before that we will get to see Chael Sonnen take him down and grind him for 15 minutes after talking shit to him for a few months.
Spitbing said he would do the fight for free..DANA WHITE should accomadate him and take his winnings and give it to charity! To compare Hendo's punch to Spitsbing is ludicris, A fighter DOES NOT STOP until the ref pulls him off or waves it off..PERIOD! The knee was 100% intentional, spitboy could clearly see rivera was down with both knees on the mat....
Well, I think he still has a weakness for the right-hand... One, he got dropped by Hendo, of course (but that's not that bad, anyone would drop)... Two, Wandy dropped him in the end of the third round... Three, Akiyama smacked him hard with a couple. Even Rivera landed a couple decent ones. I wouldn't say that it's a hole, but he certainly gets hit with them a lot.
Fine him and move on. The UFC won't do anything more drastic than that because they use him to market their overseas events. Bisping's skills have improved but i still don't see him getting past anyone in the top 5.
Look up Bisping's record. His best win's are against B level fighters like Akiyama, Leben and Hammil. Even then the Hammil fight was a BS decision which Hammil should have won. He has got beat by A list fighters in every single fight he faces 1. Rashad, Wanderlei, and Henderson. He really has yet to beat someone of great significance.
Wow, after the knee you can clearly hear Bisping yelling at him, " did you like that!?", repeatedly. It seems to me, that would imply, or commit, Bisping to have intention. He had a purpose, followed through with it; and then he asked Rivera, if he liked it? He'll [Bisping] admitt trash talk is dismissible, or expected; but only if it is done within his standards (which seems to omit the purpose of an opponent trash talking another opponent). Bisping's misconduct is more "damaging" to the sport.
Why is this on my reccomended? Last comment was 1 year ago...
I've always liked Bisping, personally I thought he beat Sonnen though it was close.
Met him a few weeks ago, such a nice guy,
Legend. Proper character too.
Is that a 14" TV...what the f...!
Good interview
"I would have done this fight for free" haha. You're awesome, Bisping.
AND NEW
Yep GSP is the new champ
after watching this interview, i have a totally new respect for bisping.
"Go home loser!"- Michael Bisping
i like bisping after this fight
i can forgive him for the knee, i could understand him being caught up in the moment
but this guy comes to fight
how can you not like him?
and mike is now such a prick towards ariel
I want to see these videos he's talking about I can't find them. Anyone have a link to it? And don't give me a link to some random site I won't accept it
Yeah I’m here while reading Tim Kennedys’s book
What a mate
Indeed. I was just giving an example to better explain my point. When it comes right down to it, all your successes and failures are reflected in the man in the mirror. And while a man can respect his bloodline and lineage that gave him that minutely advantage, he alone owns them all. Champions come from all creeds and colors.
Moderatin is a vice; moderation in discipline is failure.
BISPING VS CHAEL NEXT PLEASE!! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE TRASH TALK
@MattTheManc1 no... actually none of us really expected Rivera to win. Henderson on the other hand....
nah you didn’t make a mistake mate
@ 5:11 I was like wtf........sudden change...lol
and bisping actually seems like a cool dude ...
Bisping is the superior fighter in all aspects of MMA compared to Rivera. And, the knee to the head when Rivera was down made no difference to the outcome of the fight. Rivera had recovered by round two..
Bisping was right to say that Rivera is not in the same league as him.
Bisping was right to be critical of Rivera's 'juvenile' antics on youtube.
Ultimately, its about the fight and who won. Nice job Bisping!
pardon!
LMAO I can imagine the trash talk between Mike and Chael, but I would be going for Bisping!
Bisping is a cool guy. I admire his determination and ability to be successful despite all the fans a fellow fighters trying to bring him down.
@kingfester
I agree with you on this point but i dont think he meant it ... i think it was done in the heat of the moment
@MattTheManc1 What was sad was the fight vs dan henderson
@BobReefer Your right, Bisping walked up to Rivera, didn't really get in his face, and demanded that he apologize, and said "go home loser", but these two ended up hugging cause Bisping thought Rivera's body language was apologetic, and squashed the beef.

he didn't want to go down to his level? he went 10 levels down with that knee
@asturel13 indeed, that knob fits the description as well...
he has a point with the kid thing, but jorge is pretty funny

Whats up with that 14" TV ? .. its 2011 guys.
so what next for bisping? maybe bisping vs sonnen?
OMFG I WAS FOCUSED ON THE PENN VS FITCH FIGHT IN THE BACKGROUND LOL... I WAS EXPECTING EVERYONE TO SCREAM WHEN BJ TOOK FITCH DOWN BUT I GUESS I WAS THE ONLY ONE LOL....CANT BELIEVE BJ PENN OUTWRESTLED FITCH THATS FUCKING CRAZY
dan henderson knocked out fedor , give the guy a bit of credit

i really hope bisping gets a title shot so he could get fucked up by anderson
Only time you got knocked down? Then what the hell did Wanderlei do to you?

too many people hate Bisping I will never understand why

They both need to grow up. Bisping has been docked his win bonus, has Jorge learnt his lesson?
If Jones beats Shogun, Rashad drops to middleweight...I would love to see Rashad v Bisping rematch...
@leniinl outstanding, it was indeed a good KO yes
meanwhile i shall be revelling in the 4 - 1 record Bisping has picked up against Hendos 1 - 1 =]
@djflashb He did it cause he knew he would get away with it. Both knees were on the ground. I can understand if one knee was down but not both.
I don't know why everyone hates him. Im aussie and I think he's one of the best in the middleweight division. definitely no chance against silva but still a top level fighter. If you saw the rubbish rivera was talking about him you'd understand why he had to defend his honour. I wouldnt put up with that shit.
Nice knee to the head. Good stuff.

@Wrestlefan1 The knee was definitely intentional if Rivera is telling the truth. At the end of the round he said he walked up to him and asked him if he liked that.
Rivera deserves credit for getting up and fighting even though he could have called the fight and DQd Bisping.
He wasn't even getting up when you kneed him.
Bad excuse.
Feed Bisping to Sonnen. Chael will have him committing suicide before the fight if Rivera was able to get him to get this emotional.
correct me if im wrong but in bisping last fight he threw a illegal elbow or sumthin think it was the first time ufc was in aus
@cazz3000 there are tons of excellent top condition british fighters too.
If Bisping thinks Rivera's antics were bad I can't wait to see what Sonnen has in store for him. Bisping will be crying during the weigh-ins for sure LOL.
Bisping feels he get mooked by the Rivera videos, then he shouldnt watch "bisping Island"
@cazz3000 right but you said Im trying to discredit the win as if Bisping had this huge chance of knocking him out anyway.
:S
@Wrestlefan1 Let's just make one thing clear first of all, I am in no way condoning Bisping's action, and if you look at the first part of my initial post, I was kinda attacking Bisping as well.

that knee knocked rivera out then mintues later rivera continues to fight.. i want to see a remtach
Ya I don’t think we will see that
@leniinl duuude thats just sooo 2 years ago maaan
2:51 It is pretty sad. He even gets disgusted with himself while talking.
@BrianG769 What about the wins over Miller, Okami, and Marquardt BEFROE Anderson?
They should have given Jorge a chance to knee Bisping while he's down before they continued. That'd be fair... especially since Bisping doesn't seem to think it's a big deal. :/

It's cool to talk shit if you can back it up. I'm glad Bisping shut Rivera down.
I cant believe there isnt a single "Ariel Helwani's TESTICLES!" comment on this page...could the plague be over? *hope so*
@taylort123 ahh fair enough, i wondered what that smell coming from my ears was...
...i think you're looking into this too much
Gabriel Gonzaga won his fight with Chris Tuscherer due to a knee to the groin, no one said anything
