Bisping: Anderson Silva Was Beating Bums Back Then, He Can’t Compete Now

Michael Bisping is still talking trash about his UFC Fight Night 84 opponent, Anderson Silva. He recently spoke with MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani about the upcoming fight, and explained that Silva is coming into this fight with a lot of pressure.

“He’s under pressure, because he’s the great Anderson Silva,” Bisping told MMA Fighting. “He’s coming back, he’s just tested positive for steroids. How better to eradicate that than to beat me and then get his title back, which is what he claims he’s going to do. He’s not gonna do that. The division now is way better than what it was. He was beating a bunch of bums back in the day. He couldn’t compete with the top five in the middleweight division right now.”

UFC Fight Night 84 takes place on this Saturday, February 27th, 2016 at The O2 in London. The event will air exclusively on UFC Fight Pass. The main card starts at 4 PM ET.
