Michael Bisping Questions Whether Vitor Belfort Will Be The Same Without Using PEDs

News

At yesterday’s pre-fight UFC Fight Night: Sydney press conference, Michael Bisping was asked what he thinks about Vitor Belfort getting the next shot at Chris Weidman’s middleweight title.

Predictably, the English fighter used the opportunity to sound off on Belfort being busted for using performing-enhancing drugs in the past.

“That’s quite a s**t-stirring question,” Bisping said. “You’re going to open many cans of worms. But, yes, listen, Vitor was juiced to the gills for many years and now he’s not. Now, Chris is going to win that fight, first and foremost. [Weidman’s] at an advantage because [Belfort’s] no longer juiced to the gills. …

“Vitor’s physical appearance is altered, it’s quite visible. Is he going to be the same person? That’s the question everyone is asking, and only he knows. We shall see.”
