UFC middleweight contender Michael Bisping will face disciplinary action for his behavior following his UFC 127 win, UFC president Dana White told MMA Fighting.
Shortly after finishing his second-round TKO over Jorge Rivera, Bisping walked over to the octagon corner closest to Rivera’s team and spit in their direction. The incident was caught on camera, though Rivera’s cornermen could not be seen from the angle shown.
Rivera’s boxing coach Matt Phinney was hit, according to a statement from their camp. Bisping denied spitting at them, saying, “I was spitting on the floor to let him know what I thought of him.”
