Brazilian
Mix Martial Artist Vitor Belfort’s exit fight at UFC St. Louis last weekend was
tabled after Uriah Hall, his planned opponent withdrawn from the card due to some
medical concerns per source.
The
incident left Vitor Belfort alone in the octagon but quickly announced his
desire to have his departure party, this time, against his bitter rival, former
middleweight title holder Michael Bisping.
But
Vitor got one big problem, Bisping isn’t interested to be part of his
retirement show.
“I’m not fighting Vitor Belfort in London, I’m not fighting
Vitor Belfort in London. I am not fighting Vitor Belfort in London. 100
percent, I’m not fighting him. Zero percent chance.” – Michael
Bisping
Vitor
Belfort was behind Michael Bisping’s retina injury when the two had previously headed
UFC on FX7 back in 2013. Belfort finished out Bisping with a
head kick and punches.
Per
report, during those weeks, Vitor Belfort was granted an exemption to use
Testosterone Replacement Therapy.
These
were the two key reasons why the former Middleweight champ Bisping doesn’t have
intents of having another episode with Vitor Belfort.
“So, here’s the thing. I don’t like Vitor Belfort. People
looking at this video are probably saying, ‘Look at his eye, he’s a f**king
mess.’ It is part of the reason why I never wanted to do a video podcast
before, because my eye is a mess and it was Vitor Belfort that did it and he
was roided out of his mind. He’s a known drug cheat. I don’t like the guy. I
find him to be a hypocrite. It’s his last fight and he’s probably going to
juice like crazy again anyway because who gives a f**k. ‘Oooh, I failed. So,
what? Retired. Done. Gone.’” - Michael Bisping
Bisping truly dislikes Vitor Belfort and don’t want
to be associated with him in any party, particularly on his last fight in
London, he added.
“For me, the main reason is I don’t like the guy and I just
don’t want to be associated with him and I know if we were to fight, it would
just turn into a typical Michael Bisping performance of trash talk and all this
type of thing at the weigh-ins and the press conference and all that stuff. I’d
be talking s**t and I don’t want to do that.”
“This is my - if I fight in London - it’s my last ever fight,
and I want to handle myself the way I handled myself the majority of the time.
I don’t want it to be some bitter rivalry with a guy that has caused me lasting
disfigurement and that I’m emotionally charged up against. I’d rather go out
there, put my best foot forward, enjoy the moment, fight somebody that I
respect, fight somebody that’s gonna be a challenge but I have a lot of respect
for, and do it in a classy way.
