David Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 This has to be one of the best MMA press conference/weigh-in photos of all time; Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 17, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2013 haha great stuff. Â They've done a great job of hyping this fight, fair play to em...when it was put together there was no real history between the two and it felt like any other contender fight but they've given it a proper main event feel. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2013 ^^ Haha that picture is brilliant. Bisping can be such a cock but he's always entertaining. Loving the red suit  Intense staredown lads:  Belfort was up for it.  Man, that was great. That's the most fired up I've seen Belfort in ages as well. You don't see Belfort get into the shit talking usually at media stuff. I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing because we don't usually see it out of him. It could be that Bisping's thrown him off and got him wound up or it could be that Bisping's talk has lit a fire under him.  Either way I'm now even more excited for that fight than I was about 3 minutes ago.  EDIT - hang on, how is Bisping's suit red in the video but black in the pic Dave posted? I'm not drunk am I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 17, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2013 Vitor is really fired up though, he's always had a calm intensity about him at weigh-in's and stuff (except for the Jones fight where he seemed overly happy to be there), but he seems real pumped up for this. Bisping's comments really have got under his skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2013 Yeah that's what I'm getting at. It's really out of character. It's probably a combination of Bisping's talk and the fight being in Brazil. Â It could work to Bisping's advantage if Belfort comes out too aggressive and angry. He also might gas out even quicker if he comes in too amped up. But we'll see. A seriously fired up Vitor Belfort could turn out to be a bad thing for Bisping. It might make the early blitz even more intense. Â I'm fucking fired up for this myself. I imagine the crowd will be white hot on the night as well which will just add to it. Imagine the atmosphere if Bisping stops Vitor on home soil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimufctna24 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Nice to see Bisping is dressed like Austin Powers at the weigh-in. Â If Bisping won, it would set up Anderson vs Bisping in Brazil perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2013 Bisping quote from after the staredown/handbags at the presser;  "We went to square up and normally I like to get near my opponent. But he had his arm fully outreached and then went to make contact with my chin. I went to move it away, you know, 'listen, don't touch me' and when I went to move it away he got all fired up. He lost his cool. He says I'm a hooligan. I turned up dressed like a professional sportsman and he's dressed like a hooligan and he acted like a hooligan. All the talk of Jesus and the Bible and honor and respect went out the window. "He's pumped for the fight. I can't wait. That was perfect. That was a great press conference. Well no, he bored the s**t out of me the entire time but at the end he actually showed a bit of personality for once. He dropped the Jesus act and got real for a second. Fireworks guaranteed. Let alone the fight, the weigh-ins are going to be good.  "Do I need to bring my mouth piece? Can he control himself? Is roid rage going to kick in? Will TRT be an issue? Are his levels elevated? Have his testicles shrunk? Does he have a penis? He IS a penis, just because he is a penis does that mean he has a penis?"  Oh dear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimufctna24 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 He has a way with words does Bisping. Â I like fighters who get emotional, so fair play to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Now I really want Vitor to pound his skull in after those quotes. Bisping is just so freaking hateable. Can the referee just check his shoelaces for a bit while Vitor blasts the back of Bisping's head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Come on, man, I get patriotism or whatever, but: Â Have his testicles shrunk? Does he have a penis? He IS a penis, just because he is a penis does that mean he has a penis? Â If I didn't know better, I'd swear a primary school kid said that in the playground. And he wants to talk about being a professional sportsman? I agree with him as far as Vitor's Jesus act and the shadiness of his recent TRT answers go though.

David Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 If Bisping won, it would set up Anderson vs Bisping in Brazil perfectly. And Bisping is clearly very aware of that. He's playing it perfectly in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
