Bisping Denies Spitting on Cornerman, Rivera's Team Wants Suspension

In the immediate seconds following the conclusion of an emotionally charged fight between Michael Bisping and Jorge Rivera, Bisping walked to the octagon corner nearest to Rivera's team and spit. That much is clear. But the two sides disagree on what exactly he was aiming at, and whether he hit it.

Rivera's team says that the spit was directed -- and hit -- boxing coach Matt Phinney. Bisping denies it.

"No, not at all. I was spitting on the floor to let him know what I thought of him," Bisping told MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani in a UFC 127 post-fight interview. "I apologized for that, and I never want to act like that."

The bad blood between the two stemmed from a series of videos Rivera did leading up to the fight which mocked Bisping. In the videos, Phinney portrayed Bisping.

During a break in the fight following a Bisping intentional foul, Bisping also directed a middle finger towards Phinney.

According to Rivera's management team, that wasn't the worst of it. After completing his second-round TKO win, Bisping walked towards Rivera's corner and spat at them. But while Bisping denies directing it at anyone, Rivera's team says he did indeed hit a cornerman.

"Bisping's conduct after he was awarded the TKO is not acceptable," Rivera's manager Lex McMahon told MMA Fighting in an email. "Taunting and spitting at and on Jorge's coach Matt Phinney is the deplorable conduct of a school yard bully. And like all bullies, Mr. Bisping needs to be punished. In this instance, it would be appropriate if Bisping is fined and suspended by the commission and/or the UFC."

McMahon said Rivera's videos were "marketing and gamesmanship designed to take Bisping out of his game."

Bisping admitted to losing his cool and apologized for his conduct, but took offense at Team Rivera's suggestion that he should be suspended.

"It doesn't surprise me really," he said. "It's just one classless move after another."

mijn matches to make after ufc 127

Jon Fitch vs GSP/Jake Shields(voor WW titel)
BJ Penn vs Thiago Alves(winnaar moet titleshot krijgen tegen de winnaar hierboven)
Michael Bisping vs Yushin Okami(winnaar moet titleshot krijgen voor MW titel)
Dennis Siver vs Melvin Guillard(2)
Brian Ebersole vs Jake Ellenberger

de reden waarom ik fitch vind ipv BJ is omdat die zowiezo naar mijn mening die match won en omdat die hiervoor al 14-1 staat in de UFC(verloor een keer van GSP,ruim 2 jaar geleden)

Ben het grotendeels met je eens. Vind alleen niet dat je Bisping naar zo'n partij voor 1# contender moet laten vechten.

Hunt vs Mitrione lijkt me leuke partij.

**TheCarnage** · 27-02-2011, 20:14

Bisping was dan wel wat schofterig maar nu staat het spotlicht ineens op hem terwijl hij voor de wedstrijd de rustige was en die rivera veel en veelste ver is gegaan dus ik heb ook helemaal geen medelijden met hem.

**Ralph** · 27-02-2011, 21:48

Ik vond Fitch echt meesterlijk tegen Penn. Hij gaat niet voor de KO, maar vecht echt superslim, met veel hart en weet precies waar ie goed in is. Eerste ronde was voor Penn, maar die laatste twee echt wel voor Fitch.
Hunt was ook stoer! Leek wel een scene uit een film dat hele gevecht.
Naast Dennis Siver vond ik ook Tiequan Zhang echt goed. Ben benieuwd hoe hij het in de toekomst tegen wat betere tegenstanders gaat doen.
En Michael Bisping.... tja.... Had graag gezien dat Rivera had gewonnen. Nare baas.

**Shikoku** · 27-02-2011, 23:58

Ik had het 30-26 voor Fitch. Eerste ronde nam Penn hem naar de grond maar deed niks van zijn rug, Fitch reversede hem makkelijk en kreeg er war GnP in 10-9 Fitch. Tweede ronde precies hetzelfde 10-9 Fitch. Derde ronde was gewoon classic fitch zware GnP en grinde hem gewoon uit 10-8 Fitch. Zelfs in het minste geval had ik het nog een 29-28 gevonden voor Fitch. Zelfs BJ zelf vond dat hij verloren had en hint naar pensioen.

Siver-Sotiropoulos was een typische sprawl-n-brawl versus BJJ match-up. G-Sot zou bij een team als Team Quest moeten gaat trainen om zijn takedowns te verbeteren en dan zou hij echt een dominerende force kunnen zijn in de LW divisie. 30-27 Siver

Bisping-Rivera was heel smerig opzettelijke knie want Rivera was nog niet eens met 1 voet op de grond. Dat gevecht had gewoon gestopt moeten worden. De dokters wildden het stoppen maar Rivera wilde zelf nog door. En dat is eigenlijk heel oneerlijk als je bekijkt dat schade die misschien veel lichter is maar wel zichtbaar aan de buitenkant dat daar gevechten op gestopt worden en ze dan nog zelf verliezen ook. En dat spugen was ook heel classy van Bisping.

Voor de rest wil ik wel eens zien wat er gebeurt als die Chinees eens een stapje omhoog doet en iemand vecht die zijn sub trucjes kent. We zagen het al een keer in WEC en toen verloor hij op decision. Mark Hunt vond ik ook maar magertjes (haha) en tenzij tuchscherer achtige plompzakken blijft vechten verliest hij straks weer via leglock/americana/kimura/armbar/neck crank/choke.

**Bubbles** · 28-02-2011, 13:13

Hele sterke performance ook van Dennis Siver tegen G-Sot. Wel jammer dat George verslagen is, ik had hem graag verder zien gaan met z'n winstreak. En ondanks de onsportieve praktijken vond ik Bisping z'n gevecht geweldig.

Jorge Rivera Says 'Classless' Bisping Hit Him with Intentional Illegal Knee

There are moments from his UFC 127 bout with Michael Bisping in Sydney, Australia that are still fuzzy to Jorge Rivera, but there is at least one thing he knows for sure.

The illegal knee that Bisping hit him with in the first round? No matter what Bisping said later, that was no accident, Rivera told MMA Fighting on Sunday.

"That knee was deliberate, and I'll tell you exactly how I know this," Rivera said.

"I went to sweep him, and first of all, I want to say that he was at the press conference talking about how he's the better fighter, he's got better jiu-jitsu, better wrestling, but he takes me down, fine. I go to sweep him and he holds on to the fence. He holds on to the fence the whole time. ... And then, within 30 or 40 seconds of doing that, he knees me [illegally] in the head. I'm on all fours, he winds up and knees me in the head. Then he puts his hands up, walks over to my corner and says, 'He's the (expletive).' Now if that wasn't deliberate, I don't know what the (expletive) is."

The knee caught Rivera squarely in the head as he was on both knees -- a clear violation for which Bisping was docked a point. Doctors and cageside officials rushed in to determine whether the bout could continue, but Rivera admitted that he may have been more damaged by the blow than he let on.

"I was hurt, man. I was hurt. But the truth of it is, I knew that most of the people that were there, were there to watch this fight. I knew the hype was built up, they wanted to see it, and I didn't want it to end like that. It's just not in me to quit. That's not how I wanted it to go," he said. "...I would have liked a few more minutes [to recover], but the truth is, they want to know if you can continue now. They want to know how hurt you are. I just wanted to put on a show."

Rivera's pre-fight YouTube taunts helped to rile Bisping into a frenzy, but they also had an effect on their creator. Even after being hit with the illegal knee, Rivera felt like he was obligated to continue fighting after all the talking he'd done before the bout, he said.

"I was hurt, but this is what I do for a living. I promoted the hell out of this fight, I talked a lot of (expletive) about this fight, I talked a lot of (expletive) about him, and it's my job as a professional to go out there and do what I do. ... When I was down and everybody's asking me if I'm able to continue, I'll tell you exactly what was going through my head: I fight. I have to fight this guy. There's no way I'm going to sit here and get the W this way."

In de 2 eerste ronden heeft BJ wel een back mount gehad -> dus 2 keer gevaar om het gevecht te finishen. En die laatste ronde was voor mij ook maar discutabel 10-8, zeker als je vergelijkt met andere gevechten. Penn was nooit in gevaar om echt gefinished te worden.
