The Tim Kennedy, Michael Bisping trash talk is top-notch

Tim Kennedy vs Rafael Natal

The Ranger Up/Michael Bisping saga has been going on for years. It’s brought us joy, to some of us it’s produced a source of anger. But no matter what, you care about this feud. You care, because it is real. Watching Tim Kennedy and Michael Bisping fight would be nothing short of spectacular. Do another fight for the troops, or let the fight headline a UK card, it’s all good. This will be the best feud since Chael/Anderson, and will probably provide some hilarious videos from Ranger Up.

After a Twitter exchange, Bisping and Kennedy took to AXS TV:

“Wednesday night Tim Kennedy knocked somebody out, and ever since then he’s been calling me out,” said Bisping as transcribed by MMAMania. “To be honest, he’s been calling me out for years now, and I’m a little bit tired of it. So, Tim if you want to fight you know where to find me. Call the UFC if you’re man enough and let’s get it on.

“I’ve been in the UFC for eight years. I’ve never turned down an opponent yet. When you were in basic training shining shoes, I was in the UFC kicking ass. So, if you think I’m intimidated by you, come on, get a grip. It’s a little bit silly.”

Kennedy responded:

“Thank God we’ve had soldiers shining shoes since 1775 so we don’t have to sound like that guy, that’s horrific,” said Kennedy. “Additionally, he’s been in the UFC for eight years, I’ve been in the UFC for six months, and I’m in the same position that he is. It took him eight years to get to where I am, so maybe I’m going to hang back and be like ‘I don’t know who that guy is, go get a couple wins, and then come and talk to me Bisping.’

“He’s a dirty fighter. He eye pokes. He knees downed opponents. He spits on their corners. He complains about guys doing TRT, but truthfully, the things he does in the cage are even worse. I haven’t been calling him out, I’ve been pointing out that he’s a dirty fighter, and he takes offense to that.

“You can rest assured I called the UFC, and I was like I want to fight Bisping. I want to stomp him. I don’t care where it is. As long as he fights a clean fight, he has no chance.”
