Michael Bisping reacts to Dan Henderson calling him a douchebag:
You know what, out of nowhere just recently it's got all personal. I'll be lying if I said it hasn't pissed me off. He's really, really annoyed me, he's really pissed me off. In a lot of interviews he's talked not about my fighting ability but about me as a person, and I think he's crossed a line and he's pissed me off.
I spoke to somebody from the UFC this morning and they told me they did an interview with him and in the space of two minutes he called me a moron and a douchebag twelve times, you know what I mean?
I think he's made a big mistake because, believe me, I'm a different animal when I'm pissed off, when I'm in a bad mood, I'm unstoppable, I can do whatever I want, seriously. And fine, keep pushing my buttons Mr. Henderson because that's great.He can say what he wants about me but the fact is he's getting his arse kicked on July 11th and then we'll see who the douchebag is.
...
It makes me laugh, twelve episodes of The Ultimate Fighter the guy hardly opens his mouth, says nothing. He's the most boring bastard I've ever seen in my life. And when he does finally decide to say something the most original thing he can come up with is douchebag. Well thank God he's not a stand-up comedian, you know what I mean? Don't give up your day job, mate.
It doesn't stop there, he also talked about Henderson taking him lightly:
I think Dan Henderson is an [expletive], and I'm going to knock him out.. He's a two-faced [expletive]. He never said anything to my face... He disgusts me. I'm 18-1, and he said he doesn't need to train anything but cardio, and he would still beat me. He's taking me way too lightly. When people piss me off, I fight a lot better.
He's got God-awful stand-up. But he's got a very powerful right hand that everyone talks about that hasn't KO'd anyone for a long time, and you can see it coming because he's so slow with it.

Based on Bisping’s attitude on TUF, it’s hard to say Hendo’s assessment was wrong…

Meanwhile, Bisping is clever and witty? Pfft.
I’m picturing a line directly in front of Bisping’s chin… and Dan Henderson crossing it.

I hope all 3 main fights are won by the underdogs...
The whole UFC landscape would be ridiculously different…. lol
by Loot on Jul 6, 2009 2:41 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I like underdogs. But not in this fight I want Dan to crush him.
Hello, Japan!

I want to see him crushed too. If Dan doesn’t do it like I expect, just imagine how badly Anderson will destroy him.
by MMAcGyver on Jul 6, 2009 8:46 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Almost as bad as he destroyed Henderson!
by mythbuster on Jul 6, 2009 9:53 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Having trouble getting your meaning there.
Are you saying he did, or didn’t destroy Henderson.
Because he destroyed Henderson. ;-)
by Razreshat on Jul 6, 2009 10:20 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I’m saying he did destroy Henderson.
by mythbuster on Jul 6, 2009 10:28 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Whew...;-)
Because some people have ridiculously tried to argue otherwise.

Why are his British panties in a wrinkle?
Didn’t know Henderson insulted Manchester United

Hyping up this fight nicely…. can’t wait.
by Nick Thomas on Jul 6, 2009 9:18 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
It amazes me how naive fans can be. 2 seconds after the final bell they’ll be hugging it out, enjoying a laugh at the expense of those who bought the hype. They’re selling tickets, period.

It’s hard to stay angry when you just made a nice payday. I still think however that fighters will use what they can to get themselves motivated, and being insulted is a nice motivator.
by Albertrayon on Jul 6, 2009 9:58 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
You have a point. But I think after the fight when you have just slugged it out with someone it gives you a new respect for them….At least if you don’t finish them. You may not like them, but you respect them. Maybe thats just me though.

Silly wabbit
I’ve had plenty of fights in jr high with my mortal enemies and then we become friends later. Nothing settles differences like a good fight.

I love Bisping’s comeback with “How original!” That’s very grade school of him. I remember “Nice comeback!” being the go-to insult.
by Albertrayon on Jul 6, 2009 9:54 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Least he didn’t go with “Well, that’s your opinion.”

Rubber and Glue...that was the big gun back in the day...

yea... then it turned into "yo momma"
lol.

It’s is really REALLY hard for me to find anything to like about michael bisping.
I’m not a hendo fan but his assessment of bisping being a total douchebag is 100% right on.
by nastyem on Jul 6, 2009 11:08 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
maybe Bisping’s antagonistic demeanor 90% of the time had something to do with what he calls hendo “crossing the line”
by Ozone on Jul 6, 2009 11:18 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Bisping...
Just turned into Marcus Davis v. Hardy. See if his emotions affect the fight.
by bsmithinc on Jul 6, 2009 12:42 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
He also said Rashad crossed the line and that didn’t help him win.

"He can say what he wants about me but the fact is he's getting his arse kicked on July 11th and then we'll see who the douchebag is"
This is my favorite line. IF, somehow Bisping wins he believes that this will make him not a douchebag? lol

UFC 100-Battle To Not Be A Douchebag

I am going to invite all of my friends over to see “The Douchebag Battle Royale!”

I just love the concept..
that a pre-competition insult is going to somehow make him be rougher on his opponent in a sport where the primary action is punching in the face…hilarious.
by Razreshat on Jul 6, 2009 3:06 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
eh
Everyone says that. It ranks up there with “I didn’t come here to lose” (who does?) and “It’s gonna be a war” (sure, go to war and see the difference).
by mythbuster on Jul 6, 2009 3:48 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I wanna see Tim Kennedy’s response to his opponent talking about it going to be a war.
A man should never waste an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.

Every time Hendo calls Mike a douchebag, an angel gets its wings.
Keep firing Assholes!
Out out, you demons of stupidity!
by Ubernoober on Jul 6, 2009 4:56 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Talk about justifying the dbag sentiment. So Hendo is a coward becaue he’s talking shit about him before he fights him? Real good then..
I poop rainbows.

Is it me?
Is it me? or does Bisping say(on TUF and in blogs/interivews) “know what I mean” like every other sentence. I noticed it on TUF, and now all through the last blogs and interviews I’ve seen with him. Now that’s comedy! I mean annoying… WOW, not the greatest catchphrase there Mike.
by mmaguru on Jul 6, 2009 6:53 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
That's probably because...
the UFC always subtitles the british guys, so he is making sure us americans can understand what he means without the subtitles :)
by mythbuster on Jul 6, 2009 7:03 PM EDT up reply actions 1 recs
It’s a British thing. If you listen to the other U.K guys on the show, they all say it.
by MMAussie on Jul 6, 2009 7:45 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Better than “know what I’m sayin”.
by jebushchrist on Jul 6, 2009 8:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Bisping will be the only underdog from the 3 main fights to get the win.
