UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping has been competing in the UFC for over ten years now. During that time, Bisping climbed the UFC rankings, before ultimately winning the middleweight championship<\/a> nearly a year ago.<\/p>\n

Given his familiarity with the UFC, and experience in dealing with the promotion, Bisping feels as though it isn’t wise for UFC lightweight Al Iaquinta to repeatedly put his employers on blast<\/a> in the media for not giving him a post-fight bonus for his recent ‘UFC Fight Night: Nashville’ scrap.<\/p>\n

\"'Raging'<\/p>\n

Michael Bisping spoke on his podcast, ‘Believe You Me’<\/a> to weigh-in on the situation:<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw all these tweets and they are laden with spelling mistakes. And I am not trying to insult his intelligence, I just know for a fact that he\u2019s done all this after a few drinks. That is my assumption. Now listen, first and foremost, after the fight he was talking shit about the UFC. That\u2019s his opinion, that\u2019s his right, whatever you want to say. I\u2019m, just saying, those tweets, in my opinion, after the fight, he\u2019s at home he\u2019s like, \u2019Fuck it, I\u2019m out of training camp, I\u2019m going to enjoy myself.\u2019 So he\u2019s taking to Twitter to vent his frustrations. That\u2019s my assumption on that.<\/p>\n

“He also went on \u2018The MMA Hour\u2019 and said, \u2018Fuck the UFC if they don\u2019t get behind me and I don\u2019t need to fight.\u2019 Listen, I like Al Iaquinta, I really do, I like the way he fights, he is very exciting, he\u2019s a knockout artist and brings a lot to the table, but he\u2019s not being the smartest man right now. He\u2019s really not. He\u2019s saying he can go off and become a real estate agent and make more money. The fact is you can\u2019t, there is more money to be made in UFC and it\u2019s as simple as that. Period. Al has the potential to be one of those guys and he has the potential to be a champion and make it to the money and be a fan favorite. But, going up against the UFC and saying, \u2018Fuck you Dana\u2019 and stuff like that, it\u2019s just not smart. And I\u2019m not saying you have to be an ass kisser, you don\u2019t have to be, but in any line of work, and this will endear him to some people … and it\u2019s fun to see people go on a rampage and go against the system; but think a little bit and don\u2019t bite the hand that feeds you. Speak your mind, be honest, but you don\u2019t have to go too crazy.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
