Michael Bisping: I’ll Rematch Hendo In Seven Years, If He’s Still Alive

The UFC middleweight division continues to be one of the most competitive proving grounds in the promotion, stacked with highly dangerous contenders. Since Michael Bisping defeated Luke Rockhold for the belt at UFC 199, though, things have taken a strange turn. When Yoel Romero failed a USADA dope test, and ‘The Count’ got booked to rematch Dan Henderson at UFC 204, the top end of the division became tied up. Returning after being cleared early by USADA, Romero faces Chris Weidman at UFC 205. Jacare Souza was booked in against Luke Rockhold, which left Bisping again calling out some well-known, yet unranked opponents.

Talking about fights with Georges St-Pierre and Nick Diaz, Bisping again received criticisms from his fellow fighters. Now that ‘Rocky’ has pulled out of the fight with Jacare, the potential of Souza receiving a title shot is real. Also the winner of Romero and Weidman is widely rumoured to get the next crack at the belt, but ‘The Count’ is still on the subject of ‘Hendo.’ The now-retired legend ruined Bisping at UFC 100 seven years ago, and has protested the decision loss to his British rival this past October 8.

Bisping Trolls Henderson

In an article posted on Champions.co, ‘The Count’ took the time to troll the living daylights out of Dan Henderson. Also discussing fights with Diaz and ‘GSP,’ Michael Bisping was on typically sharp-tongued form:

“A lot of noise has been made of Dan Henderson’s statement of a third fight with me. The guy put forth a great performance for a couple minutes and a few of his fans boosted his ego with the typical, ‘You won that fight, Bro,’ but if you’re honest with yourself, you’ll soon recognize that Dan Henderson is best served by staying retired.

He landed two good shots, and God bless him for wanting to stay relevant a little longer, but you know what he can do? He can wait seven f**king years, just like I had to. For the longest time, he said it didn’t interest him because I had nothing for him.

Now, it doesn’t interest me, because I just whooped your ass. But, if you really want that rematch, we can do it in seven years, if you’re still alive.”

Georges St-Pierre

“Now let’s talk about a guy coming out of retirement that would have made a lot of sense for me to match up with: Georges St-Pierre. Here’s a guy that’s only 35 years old, retired as champion and is likely still a phenomenal athlete, even after three years out of the game.

He reached out a while back about a fight with me, and of course I said yes. That would be big business. Everyone is trying to get paid, to make as much money as possible. He’s a big draw, and I would be interested in that fight.

I started hearing things from the UFC that it could be a reality and was told not to say anything. Obviously, I couldn’t keep my mouth shut, though. I do apologize for that.

Now, it appears the fight won’t be happening, maybe because of contractual holdups.”

Other Options

With the development of Jacare now free to fight Bisping, ‘GSP’ pretty much off the table, and Romero/Wediman at UFC 205, who is getting the next middleweight title shot?

UFC 204 Weigh-In Video & Results

UFC 204 hits the Manchester Arena on Saturday October 8. Fighting for revenge in front of his home crowd is UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping, as he battles his old foe Dan Henderson. When the two first met at UFC 100, it was ‘Hendo’ who scored the brutal knockout victory. ‘The Count’ went on to win the championship against Luke Rockhold at UFC 199, and an unlikely rematch was set almost immediately. Although ranked outside the top 10, Henderson gets one final chance at UFC gold before calling it a day.

Former champion in two weight classes Vitor Belfort hopes to bounce back from the TKO loss he suffered at UFC 198, but he faces a big challenge in Gegard Mousasi. ‘The Dreamcacther’ has found his form in recent fights, and ‘The Phenom’ gives up eight years in age. Ovince St-Preux battles Jimi Manuwa, heavyweights Stefan Struve and Daniel Omielanczuk collide, with featherweights Mirsad Bektic and Russell Doane opening the main card.

Michael Bisping Calls Dan Henderson ‘Cheating Old Piece Of Sh*t’

The post Michael Bisping Calls Dan Henderson ‘Cheating Old Piece Of Sh*t’ appeared first on LowKick MMA.

UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping finally made it to the top of the stack at UFC 199, claiming the belt from his bitter rival Luke Rockhold in dominant fashion. Avenging his 2014 loss to ‘Rocky,’ the English 10-year UFC veteran placed a precise flurry of punches to the jaw of Rockhold, sending him to the canvas with his eyes rolling in the back of his head. Quite the finish from Bisping, and a dream come true after so many losses in title contender fights.

‘The Count’ had said that taking the fight with Rockhold on short notice would actually benefit rather than hinder his progress at UFC 199, but few believed that would be the case. As it turns out, not ‘over thinking’ and ‘over training’ really paid off, and now the British banger is enjoying the spoils of the coveted title.

But there’s unfinished business in many forms for the new 185-pound champion. Firstly, the feud with Rockhold is far from over. They shared a hate-filled post-fight press conference on June 4, where Bisping took every opportunity to belittle and mock his fallen opponent. It was bitter-sweet in many ways, as following their first fight Rockhold was far more respectful, but at the least you can say ‘The Count’ is no boring champ.

But his trash talking did land Bisping in a very compromising position in the past against Dan Henderson. The two had served as coaches on The Ultimate Fighter reality show, where the outspoken Englishman really got under the skin of the American MMA hero. The resulting knockout win for ‘Hendo’ at UFC 100 will go down as one of the greatest and most replayed finishes in the promotion’s history.

Few can forget that iconic snapshot in time, a moment where Henderson put to rest the beef with Bisping in front of a jubilant partisan crowd. Among those who haven’t forgotten is Bisping himself, and he recently stated he’d love to get the rematch with ‘Hendo’ as his first title defense, and as Henderson’s retirement fight.

But now he’s taken it a step further, totally blasting his old foe in an explicit tirade during this recent interview.
