If there’s one thing with Michael Bisping, he always gives good sound bites. He’s brash, confident and always speaks his mind. According to Bisping, unlike the UFC light heavyweight champ in Jon Jones, no one can ever accuse him of being fake. He spoke to Submission Radio about it:

“I get under (Rockhold’s) skin and I tell you what, I get such a kick out of it ’cause I just know his blood is boiling, and I love it. I’m loving this. The icing on the cake is that I get to punch him.”

“…Of course it’s more fun. I’m not out there trying to win a popularity contest, I’m just out here being myself. I think for the most part, they get it, and everyone’s cool. I get booed from time to time, but I’m alright. I’m happy, my family is happy, I’ve got plenty of friends. I’m not the biggest *sshole you’ve ever met.”

“Of course it’s more fun to sit here and say what’s on your mind as opposed to being one of those guys that’s, you know, just trying to say the right thing. You know I ain’t Jon Jones, you know what I mean? What you see is what you get.”

“No offense to Jon Jones, he’s a nice guy. But people kinda say he’s fake and this and that. I’ve always found Jon to be a very nice guy, but with me, certainly you can’t accuse me of that. I certainly say what’s on my mind, unfortunately.”
