Bisping: GSP 'a little b----' for quitting MMA because others use PEDs

UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping strongly disagrees with Georges St-Pierre's decision to take a leave of absence from MMA because of apparent steroid use among his opponents.

"I will call GSP out," Bisping said Thursday on his SiriusXM Rush radio show.

"I've got somebody else in mind for my next fight and when that's taken care of, if GSP is man enough, and he wants to step on the dotted line and fight, I will happily fight Georges St-Pierre."

Bisping then ratcheted things up by suggesting St-Pierre is a coward for leaving MMA.

"I have nothing against Georges St-Pierre apart from the fact that he retired from the sport and was like, 'No, I can't do it because people are taking performance-enhancing drugs.' Well guess what, they were and they're getting caught," Bisping continued.

"But if you're a man, if you're a fighter, and if you're not a little bitch, you still continue to take those chances and try to beat those people. You won't run away to the shadows and disappear because you think you can't compete.

"I'm not the coward. I'm not the coward that needs to takes steroids to compete with these guys. And I would have thought that Georges St-Pierre was man enough also to have the same attitude."

The cynic would say this is merely Bisping trying to set up a fight with St-Pierre that would be very lucrative for him - and one that he may stand a good chance of winning considering St-Pierre hasn't fought in three years.
