Midnight Mania! Michael Bisping slams ‘biggest drug cheat in the sport’ Vitor Belfort in fiery rant

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

It’s been nearly ten years because the reign of TRTor Belfort.

Again in 2013, Vitor Belfort had simply challenged Jon Jones on short-notice for the Mild Heavyweight title, placing forth an admirable efficiency and practically catching an armbar early on. Again at Middleweight, the Brazilian went on a tear, profitable three fights in a the calendar 12 months.

Every win got here by way of knockout. Particularly, every win got here by way of vicious head kick knockout. “The Phenom” was in unbelievable kind, trying outright devastating in every journey to the Octagon, wildly athletic and harmful. This created controversy, nonetheless, as Belfort was overtly — and, on the time, legally — making use of testosterone alternative remedy (TRT).

After his win streak, Belfort was presupposed to problem Chris Weidman for the Middleweight title. Nevertheless, TRT was quickly banned, and Belfort flunked a drug take a look at, delaying the struggle till 2015. When the 2 did conflict, Belfort regarded positively deflated.

The primary man to endure by the hands and shins of TRT-fueled Belfort was Michael Bisping, and “The Depend” continues to be indignant. Whereas discussing the dirtiest fighters in UFC historical past on his YouTube channel, Bisping reserved a particular rant for his former foe.

“This man is everybody’s favourite Bible basher. Everybody’s favourite hypocrite, everybody’s favourite lecturer, the man’s such a bloody piece of s—t.” Michael Bisping mentioned (by way of Josh Evanoff). “It blows my thoughts, and he prompted me to lose a watch. That’s proper, I’m speaking about Vitor ‘The Phenom Hypocrite’ Belfort. The previous light-heavyweight champion, heavyweight champion, middleweight contender, and the most important drug cheat within the sport.”

He continued, “This man is the most important cheater within the historical past of fight sports activities, proper, and it has to do with the steroids primarily. We’re not placing a ball in a basket, we’re not making an attempt to get a ball in a web, we’re making an attempt to knock our opponents unconscious. In case you’re knowingly taking steroids on a regular basis, I’ve obtained no respect for you by any means. You’re not respecting the game, you’re not respecting your opponent.”

“…I needed to struggle him in 2013, and at that time, he was taking so many steroids his a— was most likely glowing at midnight. However it’s what it’s, I went down there to Brazil to struggle the man… In fact, I paid the last word worth as a result of I ended up shedding an eyeball due to that struggle.”

Although each males are retired from MMA, Belfort continues to be boxing, having knocked out Evander Holyfield in September 2021. Oh, and in case anybody was questioning, Belfort is trying terrible jacked in his semi-retirement.
