I really am,\u201d Bisping told reporters at UFC 217 (via <a href=\"http:\/\/mmajunkie.com\/2017\/11\/michael-bisping-ufc-217-loss-georges-st-pierre-retirement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAJunkie.com<\/a>). \u201cYou can\u2019t take that away from me. My kids are over there. They just said, \u2018I thought you would be more pissed off.\u2019 Of course I\u2019m pissed off. I\u2019m crushed inside. I am. But also at the same time you\u2019ve got to realize what\u2019s important in life. This is what I dedicate my life to. I do it for my children.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI\u2019m happy with what I\u2019ve done,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I\u2019m crushed inside, but life goes on. Every time you fight one man is going to win, and one is going to lose. You can\u2019t cry like a little (expletive). All respect to Georges. Well done. He beat me. I felt fantastic going in there tonight. I thought I would smoke him, and I didn\u2019t, so well done.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI didn\u2019t win, ultimately that\u2019s why we do it,\u201d Bisping said. \u201cGeorges was the better man. I felt good in there. I just got clipped. It\u2019s the way it goes. \u2026 Nothing surprised me other than that left hook that dropped me of course. That was a big surprise.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Bisping also discussed his fighting future, and explained that he doesn&#8217;t plan to retire just yet. In fact, he wants to get back in there soon.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cI don\u2019t need time off,\u201d Bisping said. \u201cI\u2019m fine. I\u2019ve got no injuries whatsoever. I\u2019m not hurt at all. I got a couple of little marks on the face. Maybe March in London. That sounds nice. \u2026 I don\u2019t want my last time in the octagon to be me getting choked out.
