What a difference a few years makes.
Jorge Masvidal and Michael Bisping had one of those tough-guy feuds back in 2017.
You know the kind. One guy makes too much eye contact, or not enough eye contact, doesn’t say the right thing, bumps into a teammate … all the usual stupidness guys like to fistfight over in the name of (cough) “respect.”
But hey, this is the fight game, so at least it’s on brand.
Anyway, “Gamebred” and the now-retired “Count” were saying really mean things about one another and Masvidal even accused the brash Brit of sending him “racist” text messages. Then one day they just got tired of fighting, which is not surprising when you consider the beef started inside a stuffy hotel lobby.
Not exactly the kind of deep-rooted grudge worth holding onto.
As luck would have it, both Masvidal and Bisping came face-to-face yet again, this time on “Fight Island,” and as you can see from the embedded video above, it was nothing but bro-hugs and congratulations all around.
I guess we can all get along after all.
