I en intervju delar Michael Bisping (25-7) med sig av sina tankar kring Anderson Silvas (34-6) positiva drogresultat.
”When I read the news, I was in utter disbelief…He tested positive for not just one, but two illegal substances. My initial reaction was sadness, disappointment. I was disappointed in Anderson, but then I thought about it and was like ’Hold on a minute, this doesn’t surprise me at all’.”
”I just am so good and naive. I really am. I used to assume that everybody out there was doing it the way that I do it. And the more and more it comes out the more I realise that people don’t. People are looking for shortcuts. People are looking to cheat.”
”Anderson, I believe this was the first time he was tested out of competition. So who’s to say that he hasn’t been doing this his entire career? That’s the question that is always going to be asked. His legacy is ruined.”
Bisping känner att det positiva testresultatet inte bara förstör Silvas karriär, utan även förstör för sporten.
”Shocked. Not shocked. It’s a sad day for mixed martial arts. It’s a sad day for the UFC, for the fans. For guys like myself, it’s particularly sad.”
”Both guys in the main event failed their drug tests. It leaves a black mark in the sport. I can only imagine how pissed off Dana and Lorenzo would be. They worked so hard to promote a fabtastic sport, but the individuals involved in it are unfortunately looking for an easy way out.
”It saddens me, and it pisses me off.”
