Michael Bisping had plenty to say about Canadian MMA legend Georges St-Pierre before their 2017 middleweight title fight, but now that St-Pierre has retired, Bisping has nothing but high praise for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on his Believe You Me\u00a0podcast,\u00a0<\/a>Michael Bisping explained that his pre-fight trash talk of St-Pierre was only a means of hyping up their fight, and applauded the Canadian for his approach to the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, Bisping believes all young fighters should look to follow in the footsteps of the man we call GSP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI just want to say, listen, Georges St-Pierre, absolute legend of the sport,” Bisping said (transcript via MMA Fighting<\/a>). “Absolute legend. God bless and good luck in everything that you do from here on out. I always said that Georges St-Pierre was the person that a young fighter should model themselves after. They really should. Always strive to learn new training methods. Training smart, fight smart, professional in and out of the cage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course I talked a ton of sh*t leading up to the fight because that\u2019s what you\u2019ve got to do to make it interesting,\u201d Bisping continued. \u201cBut I had a lot of respect for GSP. That\u2019s not to say I fabricated everything. I meant what I was saying to him at the time. We\u2019re gonna fight, he thinks he can beat me? I take that personally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Bisping is also recently retired from MMA competition. The British legend hung up the gloves after a knockout loss to Kelvin Gastelum, citing a litany of lingering injuries as his reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on his show, he joked that these injuries were the reason St-Pierre was able to beat him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHad I not had a bad eye and broken ribs, I would\u2019ve beat you. So you got lucky Georges,\u201d Bisping joked. \u201cBum knee, bum ribs, bum eye, my wrist, I mean Jesus Christ it\u2019s amazing that I made it to the octagon. Not to take anything away from Georges because that\u2019s not what I\u2019m trying to do here. These are just facts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you with Michael Bisping on this one? Is GSP the man young fighters should strive to emulate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
