Bisping snubs Anderson Silva during faceoff, calls him a 'fraud' and a 'cheater'

If Anderson Silva needed any extra motivation for his comeback fight, Michael Bisping supplied it at the UFC London weigh-ins.

Both men made weight Friday and the ensuing faceoff saw Bisping offer a handshake only to retract it when Silva obliged. That started a tense confrontation that had to be broken up by UFC president Dana White.

Bisping was then handed a mic and he proceeded to unleash a string of invective in Silva's direction:

"This man is a cheat, this man is a fraud, and I will make you pay for your mistakes tomorrow night, my friend," said Bisping. "All the needles in your ass, all the steroids will not help you, you pussy."

Silva and Bisping meet in the main event of UFC London on Saturday.
