Michael Bisping (26-7) tycker att det är omständigheter som har gjort Chris Weidman (12-0) till mästare.
Bisping menar att Weidman har mött motståndare som har gjort misstag eller inte varit i toppform då dom har mötts.
“No offense to Chris – and I say this to him all the time, as well, so he’s probably like, ‘I’m sick of Bisping,’”
“But I say all the time it’s been very circumstantial for him.”
Bisping menar att varje vinst har skett under vissa omständigheter som gjort att Weidman verkar framstå som oövervinnlig och bättre än han egentligen är.
“Mark Munoz came back after a long layoff and had a terrible performance,”
“He beat Munoz. Then Chris laid out for two years or something like that, injured, then came back and got a title shot. Anderson Silva acted like an idiot, and he beat him for the title. Then Anderson broke his leg (in the rematch).”
“Then (Lyoto) Machida came back, and I didn’t think that fight was very good. (Luke) Rockhold showed that Machida isn’t necessarily maybe what everybody thought he was. And then Vitor Belfort, (Weidman) gets to fight Vitor off the juice.”
“I respect Chris – of course I do,”
“He’s a fantastic family man, fighter, and a great champion.”
“Circumstances have allowed Chris to look like Superman, and I want to prove that I can be his kryptonite.”
