From an interview with Bisping
“I think both guys should hang their heads in shame, quite honestly. Leites probably won the first two rounds but nothing happened in the fight. [Canadian fans] deserved a hell of a lot better than they got from these two. I’ve seen more aggression from my fiancé when she hits the January sales. It was very frustrating for me to be sitting on my couch seeing Anderson Silva, who keeps saying how he’s gone through the middleweight division. I would have fought harder than both of them put together, and so would a lot of other middleweights.”
I realize Michael Bisping is incredibly talented, being 18-1 you'd have to be. However, this really is a punk move. Why didn't he just add to the end "If I ever fight either of you two, put this on your bulletin board so you have more motivation to kick my ass". Anderson Silva is flat-out the best fighter in the world, and Leites is not that far behind. Silva is also now the record holder for successful title defenses, while Bisping hasn't held the belt in the UFC once. If his fight with Dan Henderson at the next TUF finals is anything short of spectacular, then both fighters here would have the right to say the same thing he did. They won't however, because they are both respected and respectful fighters.

And yet, when Tito Ortiz had this same attitude, people ate it up and actually thought he was the most talented person ever to fight. I hated Tito Ortiz, and I'll tell ya, even with an 18-1 record this Bisping kid, I only know by name. I couldn't tell you who he's fought, when he held a title, or how good he may or may not be. If this guy really wants to shoot off his mouth, he may want to fight somebody who's actually worth half a shit before spewing out his opinions.

Thats what I'm saying. Tito Ortiz shot his mouth off, but he was able to back it up when the time came.
