Speaking on the most recent episode of the Believe You Me podcast, Michael Bisping stated that:
Paulo Costa has stated that after making weight for the fight, he began to suffer from muscle cramps, which stopped him from falling asleep. In an effort to combat this, the Brazilian drank a bottle of wine. However, he was still supposedly feeling the effects of the alcohol when he awoke and made his way to the octagon.
During Michael Bisping’s career as a UFC fighter, he earned a reputation for having one of the most blood-and-gut attitudes to competing in the octagon, fighting until he was physically unable to continue and never giving excuses should he lose.
Thus, it is unsurprising that he did not react particularly well to Costa’s comments.
Michael Bisping shares a similar story to Paulo Costa’s
Proving he was no hypocrite, Michael Bisping went on to recount a story of his own, similar to that of Paulo Costa’s incident. He narrated:
Paulo Costa will next face off against Marvin Vettori in the main event of a UFC Fight Night card currently scheduled for October. A solid win here will put him back into title contention and maybe see him back in the good books of Michael Bisping.
