[@finhor8689]

Bisping is annoyingly good at being annoying.

[@thmpr426]

I love it. Been a fan of Bisping since TUF. He's like a futbol hooligan.

[@kkarx]

Haha I love how Bisping bullies GSP but at the same time you know he's got so much respect for him and does it only for a show.

[@CD-ng7ur]

Warren if he losses he'll be thinking hard about retiring, if he wins I think he'll have at least one more fight

[@JOHNTOPG]

Bisping is a pretty cool cat if he isn't wrekt drunk, then hes like most drunks... a dick

[@waaagh3203]

I didn't see how a retiring 40 something year old who was ranked below the top 10 could cause such a controversial decision with Bisping.

[@user-el2zj3pw5r]

Bisping is Legend

[@marksilva2929]

He needs too. GSP is going to destroy Bisping. GSP is no slouch, he's from Montreal, the most connected City in North America.

[@brighterday627]

Bisping is probably the best ever who sold fights without making it personal

[@kunalsutar3946]

Oh for sure man , a 100%. Bisping is the best trash talker in UFC imo because of this exact reason

[@TreyJaySoSway]

@@kunalsutar3946 Colby and Conor better tho. Bisping number 3

[@2_2_4_3]

Dana always looking embarrassed and bright red.

[@flizzy4645]

Who wouldn’t his company is full of dumbasses look at Conor Mcgreor he’s the biggest dummy

[@lionelhutz5137]

His rosy complexion is most likely due to high blood pressure.

[@matangox]

TRT

[@xnameless7260]

Pretty Boy Flizzy nicely said lmao !

[@flintrocks]

haha hes red from laughter 😆 Bisping is hilarious lol

[@SeanteBrown]

And they did NOT nearly come to blows. This is nonsense

[@trichomegarden8584]

Backstage they did.

[@nugget22gil39]

from what a push? get real

[@TB.....]

If you are going to lie for hits (nearly come to blows???) then why not go the whole hogg and say Bisping chops GSP's arm off ?

[@larrytate1657]

Say GSP pokes Bisbings good eye out.

[@nax2s]

Backstage it got heated

[@justind3583]

As a French Canadian i will always support GSP, but Bisping is so funny.

[@Aenygma_]

Sérieux hahahaha calisse qui me fait rire.

[@pedroaytawa]

Man, i wish bisping is younger and alot of fights left in him. Sad this could be his last fight. Im gonna miss this kind of press conference when he retires

[@mmooraj]

10:27 this killed me

[@NoxCii]

DANA was having fun too XD

[@mmooraj]

@@NoxCii Obv its Bisping hahaha, plus Dana always liked him

[@bib-in3349]

bisping is most underrated. .

[@flizzy4645]

ashish gurung stfu plz. He is the best trash talker tho

[@nqi87]

Underrated? Underrated? He’s overrated

[@t3stify25]

this didnt age well

[@cndvd]

Bisbing is funny. Almost as good as Conor, but in his own way.

[@timm285]

cndvd Bisping isn’t as rehearsed as Conor. The problem with Bisping is he doesn’t have Conor’s polish. He is just the sick version of Conor

[@markymark3193]

Not even close his timing is forced

[@FrxBass]

Bisping is way better, he's up there after Chael.. Conor isnt even top 5 best trashtalker, he's just been pushed by the UFC like no other fighter, maybe Ronda.

[@joannerutledge1377]

so true,they should try stand up .

[@donjig288]

Bisping lot better then Conor can't even understand the Irish fool

[@adamc3210]

Dana reminds me of happy fries when he smiles.

[@redeyejedi3753]

I want Bisping and Mcgregor, just for the tour, then have them both drop out of the fight due to a sprain of da funny bone lol!

[@BENMUSA2015]

We miss Bisping what a talker

[@karloconnor4831]

Bisping is hilarious. Good luck do it for the U.K.

[@ryanmeng8380]

Why is Dana allowed to wear adidas

[@WhytyProd]

Adidas own reebok

[@premierleague_itk2626]

Because he's a human being who has money and can buy it he'll wear what ever he wants lol

[@Traypeats]

@@WhytyProd luke rockhold wore adidas shoes and reebok made him put tape over the logos

[@jmicm13]

Bisping is still a thing? I remember watching him when I was in high school 11 years ago. Crazy....

[@thevillaka]

GSP got me into the UFC. Its a pleasure watching him come back. But yoooooo Bisping came with the heat!! 😂😂😂

[@expsterm1]

Bisping is hilarious. He got me cheering for him.

[@danielatilano3294]

You know I think it kind of sucks that the press conferences that the UFC has aren't exciting like they used to be like this

[@ThePereginPigeon]

"Do you think you can submit him in this fight?" lmfao Beautiful question with a beautiful result.

[@allstar4life3000]

Why is Bisping knocking out his training partners lol

[@allstar4life3000]

Let alone being proud of it hahahaha

[@allstar4life3000]

Not everyone does that. If you gas yourself before your REAL fight, or sustain fight damage before your REAL fight, you are at a pretty big disadvantage. It's an older way of training for a fight, but it's definitely shifting. I'm just saying it's not really bragging rights to knock out 3 of your training partners *in training*

[@SuperPeterok]

DrewVilla because he's a douchebag

[@gordthor5351]

Notice how Bisping pulled his jacket closed on both sides(setting up a barrier) when GSP said it was the same old mind games and he wouldn't be fooled by them (9:20 of the video)That is similar body language to crossing your arms to protect yourself from a THREAT. Bisping's go to move is getting in the head of his opponent before the fight and Georges shut that down when he let Bisping know that he is aware of his tactics. Trust me,Bisping sees Georges as a huge threat and GSP is in his head. He also pulled his jacket closed to shield himself when the crowd was against him (10:12). Bisping needs approval,George needs to live up to his own super high standards and will go to extreme lengths to do so. Bisping can't andle GSP's mindset riddim and to his own detriment he is smart enough to realize it.

[@sillesrepa8249]

No its not. People touch stuff if they are thinking about something to say.

[@BestFightPicksHalfTheBattle]

Bisping had me dying

[@MantisGotSwagga]

Gotta love Bisping

[@AcidGlow]

*Bisping is so funny.. GSP better not retire after this fight if he losses..* *I hope Dana doesn't change his mind about Tony vs Connor 2 months later.. ✅😎*

[@yaqoubalshatti205]

Dana will be Dana and match makers are gonna put together Conor Diaz 3

[@CD-ng7ur]

Conor has got to defend the title surely.

[@flizzy4645]

Bisping best trash talker in ufc history

[@redeyejedi3753]

AcidGlow agreed brudah, agreed. Too retire would be weak sauce

[@AcidGlow]

Bisping does have funny trash talk but you should check out Chael Sonnen.. he made me laugh alot.

[@currypablo]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Bisping is hilarious. Love his trash talk.

[@tpitt7355]

GSP is getting irritated lol

[@Tennishero]

1:40: Ok that was pretty f'ing funny. I definitely lol'd.

[@mattdoyle6086]

"Nearly come to blows" when!? Click bait... bisping is funny though

[@adamgibbons8237]

BELIEVE YOU ME

[@GaudialisCorvus]

18:56 Oddly a wholesome smile

[@skipradcliff]

Why was it cut off before they squared up that don't even make sense?

[@jtstevenson81]

Ugh, clicked to see this apparent "come to blows" moment and noticed that the video is 30 minutes long. At what time does this supposed moment occur?

[@force1452]

Bisping looks like stipe miocic. Just as tall and athletic

[@SuperPeterok]

Force 14 no way

[@Jabzor]

Stipe is much bigger than Bisping.

[@almister999]

Could watching bisping all day

[@jq6468]

As a Canadian, I can say without a doubt that GSP is and will always be the best MMA Representative of Canada.

[@loud_snipez1838]

gsp got irritated when he brought up steroids lmao

[@InfamousJr]

That was too funny

[@fuhq6731]

Because GSP has been extremely anti-steroid his whole career

[@TheMika911]

Bisping is great !!! Put Mc Gregor & Bisping on a press conf and we will have a hell of a show ;-)

[@RUGGEDBREED]

Nice show

[@TylerG13]

Georges beat Josh Koscheck standing up. Georges embarrassed Nick Diaz who is a Gracie Jiu Jitsu black belt. Georges took a head kick from Carlos Condit and left the fight looking fresher than Condit. Georges took Jonny Hendricks best shots pre USADA and still won the fight. There’s nothing Michael has that poses a threat to Georges. Absolutely nothing.

[@Gunz4Hire187]

Hendricks destroyed gsp. He got a gift from the judges.

[@dumitavi1]

Gunz4Hire187 GSP retired because of the unfair playing field, he felt he had to fight on, pre USADA. You say he was handed a win, by the judges. If he lost, he would've lost to Super-Rig, if you know what I mean. If you remember, there was a lot of talk about extra testing requested by GSP. GSP felt that the NSAC testing wasn't good enough, which is why he asked for VADA testing, which Hendricks refused to pay for. The number of people caught post USADA, validates GSP's concerns. Leaving that aside, since USADA came in, Hendricks has 1 win and plenty of losses.

[@simonemastrovito6315]

Aw, come on, Hendricks clearly won that fight

[@FrxBass]

Bisping is way bigger to start off.. his boxing, power & cardio at this weight are better than GSPs who looks all buffed up from that unnatural weight gain

[@RapperHolik]

True and Bisping got also whooped by Silva in that fight.

[@silkali007]

Bisbing was on point here 😂

[@kgrayson655]

silkali007 it won't help him in the cage tho

[@mrben178]

Dana was so embarrassed...he treated Bisping like a naughty boy at the end 😂

[@YearOfThe_Dog]

Michael Bisping in BALLS DEEP in GSP’s head.

[@borat1902]

like conor did to aldo, this fight will be interesting

[@sh4rksh4d0vv]

And Bisping proceeds to lose by GnP

[@FrxBass]

I think Bisping wins this, but I mean Diaz was balls deep in GSP's head and he still managed to win it quite easily.

[@jerry11111]

gsp is a fighter who believes in plans. he sticks to his gameplan and he is very discipline. I'm glad he is coming back to show how fighting can be an arts.

[@WarriorPleb]

Bisping is hilarious hahaha

[@user-cs8qb9mb4n]

Bisping actually made GSP so angry, he started crying.

[@Darkasknightfall]

GSP did absolutely everything he said he was going to do to bisbing.

[@Darkasknightfall]

@Mad Hatter nah... he outboxed bisbing. GSP he does his talking inside the ring and that’s exactly what he did. Not luck at all. It was skill and timing.

[@Darkasknightfall]

@Mad Hatter I agree GSP got sloppy on the ground but controlled most of the fight.

[@Bm-oc2db]

Bisping nearly got beaten by a 70 yr old in Hendo

[@Bm-oc2db]

He was nearly finished by the dinosaur look at the punch count more than just a cpl, my point being he fluked Rockhold and had a hard time with Hendo who's been on the downhill for years, he wont be champ for long.

[@Xboxishomo]

The Godfather of TRT no less

[@wurble]

+Dylan Hayne You mean the same "dinosaur" who just a few months before brutally KO'd Lombard, who'd never been knocked out in his whole career? And calling Bisping's win against Rockhold a "fluke" just shows how extremely uneducated and ignorant you are about combat sports.

[@thmpr426]

I meeeeaaaannnn..... Hendo was older sure, on the decline sure.... that right hand though is terrifying. Most were saying one thing leading up to that fight. Bisping should win, but that Hendo bomb makes it interesting. It was a fun one for me to watch. Sorry you seemingly didn't enjoy it and are trying to discredit Bisping for some reason.

[@Bm-oc2db]

Yes i mean the same dinosaur who knocked out a 5 ft midget yes. lol time will tell all boiii

[@Foralluhaterz]

No shitsping you are under 6ft 2, 6ft 1 max and george is a tad under 5ft 11 not 5ft 9. Love the exaggeration lol

[@Lasse3]

Haha this was better than stand-up show

[@joeashbubemma]

This P4P argument is total bs. It's genetics and physics. Any man in the FW division can't weigh 125 and face someone of major physical difference as you'd find in the heavier weights (DC v JJ for example). Second, lighter mass will move faster than a proportionately sized heavier mass. Simple physics prevents larger men from performing feats of acrobatics, that's why you rarely see tall performers in gymnastics. If DJ could somehow grow into a 155 or heavier athlete, he'd lose a fair amount of agility so P4P is meaningless.

[@dante6806]

This is true, but there's another way to look at it; The most dominant fighter in their respective division is the best p4p fighter, and Demetrious has been wrecking his division since the beginning of it.

[@dougdiamond5774]

joeashbubemma well said. I totally agree.

[@simonemastrovito6315]

Totally agree. Although DJ certainly is an amazing fighter, the competition he's had to face is not THAT great

[@blacksabbath4252]

Gsp is the best

[@HealthyAndrew]

3:44 I've never seen GSP so intense!

[@Khaos969]

Dana loves Bisping

[@Dombaili]

12:58 Now thats who I call a proper frenchman!

[@bt465]

Nearly come to blows!!!??? When exactly?

[@darkplum8]

i think bisping got some of the local snow.

[@timm285]

Lol. Low blow from Bisping saying why not shout out Firas. Lol

[@realalsenor]

Bisping mouthed of saying "I know you are just going jab, jab" and I am going to knock you out. Little does he know that GSP is going to jab, jab him AND knock him out.

[@dazza4345]

George doesn't have to say much.His record speaks for itself.

[@SuperJay916]

Emotion from the lizard lol I almost died

[@anthonyemerick4220]

I just know Bisping has lost 7 fights an gets punched alot I mean look at his face for God sakes

[@ryancrules623]

Anthony Emerick Bisping has only lost to roided out legends, and he hasn't lost since USADA

[@svensvensen7445]

The only clean guy Bisping has lost to is Luke Rockhold... He revenged that loss last year by knocking him out cold. Bisping is probably the most underrated fighter of this era. His conditioning is untouchable...

[@svensvensen7445]

And rashad evans at LHW back in 09 ofc

[@bishakafsha7916]

he is a fighter bruh what do you expect lmao?!

[@user-el2zj3pw5r]

Bisping is Legend

[@pajeramos8903]

we will miss bisping after all is said and done.. he's funny , annoying but still classy and respectful of his opponents!

[@xJamieMcBride]

Does anyone know what kind of Jacket Bisping has on? It’s well smart.

[@JoshLavian]

Seconded

[@Angie-yv7ws]

JamieMcBride Good taste

[@jimmybaldwin737]

There’s another jacket he wears in another press conference. It’s like a pilots jacket. Its the most nicest jacket I have ever seen in my life. But I can’t find the press conference it was. It’s definitely in the last 7 years max

[@HiyayaHo]

GSP has really martial arts character!

[@guzvier]

If everyone is lying about their click bait titles, why not you, right?

[@diegot143]

The mental warfare match is similar to the Conor Vs Aldo one. In a funnier way. Bisping is a true comedian.

[@Iheartdgd]

Not even close. The talk doesn’t affect GSP in the slightest, Aldo wasn’t the same person after Connor was through with him. GSP but Bisping to sleep , though he did put up a hell of a fight.

[@hitmanhatton]

I've never seen a fight that I had no real opinion on who is likely to win. It's so hard to decide! Bisbing is bigger, he is a brawler, he keeps coming at you and he has terrific cardio. GSP is remembered as one of the best fighters in UFC history. But he's been out for 4 years. How much of a factor does that play? And will Georges' athleticism be enough to match Bisbing size? There's so much that's unknown. But with the information I have. I'd have to call it for Bisbing

[@conorfrancis6611]

Anderson the goat Silva made Bisping eyes roll back and he's in he's 40s ahahah, respect to both these guys there great fighters hope for a great fight but rooting for GSP

[@RyleyTech]

Not only was Silva in his 40's he was on a 3 year losing streak.

[@conorfrancis6611]

hooligandru Couldn't agree more Anderson is the greatest fight ever

[@andrewortiz6430]

Silva greatest cheater ever who got outstruck 4 rounds to 1 and dropped cleanly by Bisping

[@cmedina454]

I should have read the comments section first. Bisping and GSP did not get anywhere near each other or come to blows. It was an entertaining press conference though.

[@TheDieyet]

cant belive the way he speaks english after all thes years

[@pjohnson9436]

Lol I like Bisping

[@earllouie2137]

I love Bisping and there's nothing wrong with that

[@matthewpark4183]

Lmaooo Bisping just got iced

[@shanukhimani615]

Are you intoxicated? :D

[@delaman4991]

gsp wearing lift boots to look like he is bisping's height...whats with the height complex thing, I met gsp he is a bit shorter than me and bisping was near enough 3 inches taller than me

[@thedankswordsmantm]

I was always prepAIRing for the next guy, the next guy (2fights a year at best). And I needed 3-4 years to prepare for USADA :D

[@tylermaracle7358]

Dana looks red all the time. Is that healthy?

[@BarkingShark]

Trt, hgh, and always on vacation in the sun. Surgeries too prob

[@kalo667]

Let's go GSP!

[@jackel7406]

Dana is saying the Tony the fight makes sense for Conor... because he is currently in talks with Diaz.

[@user-cs8qb9mb4n]

Thank God, Bisping called a wrap on this press conference; I started playing Russian Roulette with my 5-shot .44 mag.

[@Nxnn132]

Bisping needs to calm down,dude wasted more energy in press conference than all his fights combined

[@martialmusicman]

I think Bisping has a solid career prospect as a comedian after he retires.

[@seasidedreams6766]

poor Dana getting all sort of secondhand embarrassment sitting right in the middle lol

[@yougle9201]

I can see that superman punch to his face already! Go GSP!

[@hnnsbdr]

damn mystic yougle9201

[@ls3chevy515]

Bisping can retire and become a comedian. He sounds like one of those cartoon characters when he imitates gsp lmao he is hilarious

[@andrewsolis2988]

Bisping is so scared of GSPs wrestling that he is trying to piss him off so bad he goes crazy 😂

[@TheValterandrade]

What I see is bisping quite frustrated for couldn't going inside gsp mind and then come with the alliens to try help him 😅

[@s.amiri05]

Reporter: why didnt you guys choose a bigger venue, I'm sure the fans would have loved to be a part of this. Dana White: because it's awesome! What kind of answer was that?

[@joannerutledge1377]

iam from england,an i think micheal bisping is ace,so funny,some ppl dont like him but i think he is great ...

[@bumm38]

Bisbing is worried he knows George is better rounded fighter by far

[@nercoG]

Bisping is right. GSP is boring and I admire how Bisping tried to sell the fight. He's a real promoter and an amazing fighter

[@orangekathification]

GSP is one of my favourite fighters. Unfortunately when I think about it logically, I would say it would have been wise for GSP to First fight against the current top welterweight for the welterweight title, seeing that he resigned while being champion in the welterweight division and due to the fact that he has not been fighting and competing for years. This would have made more sense, because it would have been a much better and achievable opportunity to reclaim the belt he had, instead of going up one devision fighting a very tough and vicious champion like Bisping for his title,

[@Patryk....]

GSP is pissed off.

[@coreydesmond4233]

if mixed martial arts wasnt so expensive in canada i think there would be more... Canadians can fight

[@eco_man_8652]

I Rember How Excited I Was Before This Card , GSP vs Bisping Cody Vs TJ Joanna Vs Rose 😮
