I don\u2019t care for the guy. I think he\u2019s built a career off being a cheat. The amount of insane steroids over his life, over his career, is evident to see. I mean you go back and look at his early career, the guy was insanely jacked. When we fought he was insanely jacked, and now you look at him and he looks like a fucking beat up old man. And he\u2019s getting knocked out like so and performing like so.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>When he was juiced out of his mind, just fucking tearing through everybody and then he has the hypocrisy to go out and talk about being a good person and this and that. The guy\u2019s a cheat, the guy has no honor. I would love to have been the person to do that, but it\u2019s kind of still enjoyable to see him get what he deserves because he\u2019s gone out and done that too many a people and caused injuries. He fucked up my eyeball, he\u2019s the one to blame for that, so yeah.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cGod bless Machida, job well done.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>With Bisping&#8217;s career inevitably coming to a close as well, many assumed we might see him be the man to face Belfort in a double retirement fight.
