Whether it’s MMA or a grappling match, Michael Bisping always does his job when promoting a match. His grappling match against former one-time UFC opponent Chael Sonnen at Sunday’s URshow.tv internet pay-per-view event is no exception.
Bisping, who meets Sonnen in a grappling match later this evening at the event emanating from Phoenix, Arizona, took a jab at Sonnen’s past issues with performance-enhancing drugs.
“If there was PED testing, I’m assuming Chael will blow the lab up,” Bisping told MMAFighting.com. “I’m under no illusions, I’m expecting a big, strong, juiced out Chael, the ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ doesn’t have USADA involved in it, so there’s really no restrictions for Chael. Myself, I’m still on the USADA/UFC regulations.”
Although the Bisping-Sonnen match won’t be an actual fight, but instead a grappling match, “The Count” still maintains that he “owes Sonnen” following their closely contested fight in the UFC in 2012.
“I don’t know, I haven’t even read the fine print, I don’t know if we’re fighting in a cage or a ring or what. I don’t care about the details. It doesn’t matter, it could be in someone’s garage. I’ve been wanting to get a hold of Chael Sonnen for quite some time and I get to do it this weekend. I owe that guy for a fight in 2012,” Bisping said. “And I’m finally getting to take a bit of revenge on him.”
