Around SBN: Ryder Hesjedal Wins Giro d'Italia

Let's go to the video tape: Michael Bisping seemingly spits on Jorge Rivera's corner men at UFC 127 (Video). "The Count" says he didn't deliberately spit at them. Does this footage prove otherwise?

Not really

The Bisping crew will stay say he didn’t regardless.

They'll still say the same regardless

A miniature clip of this has already been making the rounds, and they still come up w/ weird arguments over velocity and stuff, and if push comes to shove, they’ll fall back on ‘well, they deserved it’ like they do w/ the illegal knee.

I really hope Dana gets on this

Cause this is fucking ridiculous. Bisping is (supposed to be) a professional. This is unacceptable.

The problem is that he can’t (with a straight face) get on Bisping for doing this after masterbating Lesnar for doing similar after the herring and mir fights.

On Vitor’s twitter he’s talking about him fighting Bisping next, does that count as being thrown to the dogs?

From Belfort’s twitter -

On my way to the airport going back to vegas I am looking forward to fight bisping on may card I need to fight soon I want to get busy

There hasn’t been any official word on Bisping vs. Belfort yet as far as I know, but it sure sounds like at least it’s something Vitor would like to see happen.

Ergo "similar" and not "exactly the same"

Spitting on someone can be considered assault in the States

Potential transference of disease being the main reason. It’d be one thing if it was Jorge, given they’re already beating the hell out of each other, it’s another entirely when you go out of your way to attack people who aren’t professional fighters.

by RaginAsian on Feb 27, 2011 10:14 PM EST up reply actions  

Bisping is a A-Hole

I can’t believe this so called professional would do something like this! Dana needs to step in and make sure nothing like this happens agian in the UFC. Kick his ass out or take his winning money.

by mmamac on Feb 27, 2011 11:54 PM EST up reply actions  

yeah!

and every other fighter who did something classless, retroactively! Hey lets start a list :)

Brock Lesnar, GONE!
Chuck Liddel, GONE!
Randy Couture, GONE!
Nate Diaz, GONE!
Melvin Guillard, GONE!
Anderson Silva, GONE!
Tito Ortiz, GONE!
Frank Mir, GONE!

Oh fuck it, this is gonna be one long list.

Yeah all of those guys spat at their opponents cornermen

Spitting is more than just the ultimate sign of disrespect, it’s provactive and unsanitary. The fact that this prick denied it and tried to excuse his behaviour makes it even worse. All of those guys have behaved poorly at some point and were punished for it as should Bisping.

"AS’ skill levels are slightly higher than GSP’s"
"AS is definitely number one. He doesn’t lose and has shown that he will find a way to sub the best wrestlers."

by David W-S on Feb 28, 2011 11:53 AM EST up reply actions  

He neither denied it nor tried to excuse his behavior. In fact, he apologized and said he was ashamed of how he acted.

Whether you’re Lesnar mocking your bloody opponent in his face, Guillard trying to attack the guy who just choked you out or Bisping spitting through a fence – it’s all classless shit that doesn’t belong in the “sport”, but singling Bisping out is ludicrous.

Also:

Huh? When were any of them punished for it?

by decbolton on Feb 28, 2011 1:58 AM EST via mobile up reply actions  

His son will be so proud...

Spitting at your opponent’s corner is a new low for Bisping. He’s an embarrassment to his family, the sport, his team and his fans. He deserves to be punished for this and I hope that this signals the end of the UFC protecting him with easy fights like Rivera.

I believe he said he spit on the floor in front of them, not on them, so this video doesn’t really prove anything.

I would have loved to see Michael Bisping against Matt Phinney on top of Jorge's shoulders. But only phinney can go for takedowns.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

You know, I always had a thought in the back of my head that my hate for Bisping was a little misplaced...

But now… he’s a fucking meathead, just like most other British Fighters. They dont seem to have a good track record lately in the UFC. Daley gets booted for one of the most unprofessional acts Ive ever seen in the UFC. Might want to add that to list of skill needed in British training routines… wrestling, ju jistu, and tact. British mma fans are even worse from what Ive seen.

Way to generalise genius

I believe Nick Diaz and War Machine to be standard bearers for the American people. ‘British MMA are ever worse from what I’ve seen’: where have you seen them? In your garden? Spitting on your flowers? Hooligans!

I'm not sure about that

Think of Hathaway, Pearson, Kelly, Taylor, Broughton, Sass and even Hardy. All decent fighters with class.
 Singling out 2 fighters for a nation is a bit unfair.

by lippo on Feb 28, 2011 3:17 AM EST up reply actions  

i agree

Throwing a blanket statement over all fighters from the UK is just plain ignorant.

by decbolton on Feb 28, 2011 6:42 AM EST via mobile up reply actions  

Yeah he is

But Bisping, Daley and Kelly behaved like that because they’re unprofessional not because they’re British. It makes me sick that people like that represent us in this sport.

Don't lump British fans and fighters with those 2 shit heads

It doesn’t help that our most high profile fighters are arseholes but we as a nation should not be blamed for the behaviour of 2 morons. We have many classy fighters like Hathaway, Pearson and Winner who all conduct themselves professionally and represent themselves and the sport very well, so don’t judge them on the behaviour of Bisping and Daley just as others don’t judge the American fighters on the actions of Sonnen and Koscheck.

I don't blame Bisping abit.

I’m not a big fan of Bisping but who really cares, theres a 4 foot walking area around the cage and that looggy wasn’t even close to clearing it to hit anyone. Anyway the guy deserved it, it’s easy talking shit and making fun of people thru the internet, but you got to answer for it if your there facing the person.

by Rubberman on Feb 27, 2011 9:40 PM EST reply actions  

Maybe he should've confronted them face to face

Instead of spitting through the cage then playing nice when they were inside like a coward.

Bisping should be thanking them. The fight got 20 times the attention it would have if they’d played it nice.

for giving him an easy paycheck in Rivera.

DW will kiss the arse of the Brit as he sells seats in the UK...

it’s pretty sad regardless…there is no need for this in the sport…and he should be suspended….and on top of that his blatant illegal knee was disgusting….however, based off of the track record of British sports fans (hooligans) this is not surprising…zero class.

After all us evil Brits always spit at people we don’t like at MMA shows and cause trouble at events. Lets not blame the idiot who acted like a thug, lets blame British people as a whole. Racial generalisations FTW.
