Things got interesting on Wednesday when UFC Middleweight Champion Chris Weidman “crashed” the UFC Fight Night 55 pre-fight press conference, resulting in an entertaining back-and-forth between he and UFN 55 headliner Michael Bisping.
Weidman offered his opinion of the Bisping vs. Luke Rockhold main event for Friday night and although he didn’t really say anything offensive, the fact that he predicted a Rockhold victory was enough to get Bisping worked up.
Below is a brief transcription of the Weidman-Bisping back-and-forth verbal exchange:
Weidman: “I think it’s going to be an exciting (fight). You know Bisping doesn’t go away, so he’s a tough guy with great heart. So it’s going to be hard to finish him but …I’m going to have to say I think Rockhold wins this fight.”
Bisping: “Of course the Yanks, they stick together. You need all the help you can get (to Luke). We started this shit and we’ll finish this shit.”
Weidman: “I hope for a good fight. I wanna watch a good fight and I’m hoping that it is. As long as the Tim Kennedy Bisping doesn’t show up, it could be a great fight.”
Bisping: “Hey, that guy’s never showing up again, but shut up Chris. This our press conference.”
