Earlier this month, MMA legend Vitor Belfort was mauled by a younger, faster, Kelvin Gastelum<\/a>. Many fans took this beatdown as a sign that it was time for the aging legend to retire.<\/p>\n

Belfort himself, however, said he had one more in him. In his post-fight interview, he said he’d like to fulfil the last fight on his contract, ideally at UFC 112 in Rio de Janeiro in June. Belfort also acknowledged that a step down in competition would be nice, which is fair, but then threw the world a bit of a curve ball by calling out CM Punk<\/a> \u2013 a former pro wrestler who was destroyed by Mickey Gall<\/a> in his only mixed martial arts bout.<\/p>\n

\"wwe<\/p>\n

News of Belfort’s strange callout of Punk has reached the ears of UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping, and unsurprisingly, the outspoken Brit had plenty to say about it. Bisping went off on Belfort on the latest episode of his podcast Believe You Me<\/em><\/a>. His words (via MMAFighting.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\n

“This is a sign of the p**sy that Vitor Belfort is. This is the sign of a p**sy that takes f**king steroids his entire career. If you take steroids, you are a f**king p**sy because you\u2019re so mentally weak that you feel that you can\u2019t go out there and fight these people on a level playing field because you\u2019re gonna get your ass kicked. So you worry, and you look, and you look for shortcuts, and you look how you can cheat, and you think, \u2018Oh I\u2019m gonna take these steroids and they\u2019re gonna build my muscle and make me recover better\u2019 and all this type of stuff.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd they do give you advantages. They give you physical and psychological advantages. But if you need those advantages then you are a coward, you\u2019re a f**king p**sy, and you are a cheat, and the very fact that somebody would take steroids their entire career, then get their ass kicked, then call out CM Punk, I\u2019m not surprised motherf**kers. It\u2019s a simple as that and that just speaks volumes to the character and the level of a man that Vitor Belfort is. I wouldn\u2019t f**king p*ss on him if he was on fire.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Needless to say, Michael Bisping isn’t impressed with Vitor Belfort’s callout of CM Punk. Where do you stand on the issue?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
