MMA Video Tribute: 9 ‘Falling Tree’ Knockouts

Bisping Responds to Leben’s Steroid Bust


(“Braaaiiins!” Photo courtesy of Sherdog.)

Michael Bisping, quoted in Setanta Sports:

“I have to admit I was disappointed when I heard. You know, when all’s said and done, I like Chris Leben. He conducted himself well before and after the fight and, as I say, I like the guy. I’m a little disappointed that he’s done what he’s done, bringing the sport into disrepute, but it’s not really my place to have an opinion on it.

The UFC, as they always do, have set the example with the punishment — and they’re right to do that. Should he banned for life? I don’t think so, people make mistakes, people learn from mistakes. Plenty of fighters have recovered after testing positive, the standard is set at nine months and it would be unfair to go any harsher on Chris…

I don’t know if it makes my win any better, you can make a case for it because — without wanting to start slinging mud — he did cheat and I didn’t. I don’t know why he did it or if he knew he was doing it, but I know my performance was purely down to blood, sweat and tears — and that’s all the satisfaction I need.”

If nothing else, this has to be good for Bisping’s confidence; even a juiced Chris Leben could barely put a mark on the Count’s face. If his next opponent does turn out to be Dan Henderson, he’ll need that confidence and then some. Meanwhile, Leben will have to find an even higher power to trust in if he plans on rescuing his career after his nine-month time-out comes to an end.

    Bisping is such a little crybaby. If an athlete takes steroids it only shows his will to win and improve. I've been on roids for a year now and I never felt better. I eat a medium order of fries and I gain 5 lbs. of muscle, what is wrong with that?

    Bisping is all class. I respect him because he's not afraid to say what he's thinking but doesn't come across like a total twat (See: Matt Hughes).

    UFC fan, relax dude, TUF Guy brings a bit of comedy to this site, and I for one always enjoy reading his over-the-top comments. The only douchebags here are people that are so uptight that they can crap diamonds.

    No immak this guy has been a troll since day 1. He is the king of the douchebags, and no one takes him serious, not even himself. TUF gay knows hes a douche.

    I am more like a Ork. I don't see any of you posting the address to your gym and openly invite anyone to an asskicking like I did numerous times. I know that none of you keyboard warriors will never ever even think about showing up. I have 150% more muscle than a regular human being and 3000% more confidence all thanks to roids. I would admire Lebans heart if I didn't hate ginger kids so much.

    TUF Guy and I went ass to ass last night on a double ended 'roids dildo. Two prolapses aside, it was the best night of my life.

    TUF Guy you are the sexiest Ork ever! oooooo I get so hard just thinking about you giving me the "asskicking" i desire. I can't wait to fondle your roid shrunk balls with my tongue.

    It is sad how many of you guys have homosexual tendecies. But the internet gives you the courage to live out your fantasies without disapointing your parents, so go right ahead, I just laugh at you either way.

    How can you post comments like that right after you get off the web cam with me, the white stains on your desk hadn't even dried yet you two timing bastard!!!!

    I can't wait to see either Franklin or Hendo kick the crap out of this guy, cause either one can do it. I can't stand Bisping....

    TUF GUY "I have 150% more muscle than a regular human being and 3000% more confidence all thanks to roids." followed by "Bisping these are your fans ^ Roids >>> Homosexuality" Thanks for finally admitting your homosexuality, roid induced or not, you are still my one and only assman ;) *KISSES*

    Bisping is going to get Rich or Hendo.... either way he is in for the ass kicking of a life time. He will deff need more than just confidence to beat either one! As for all the comments above... thanks I needed a good laugh at work today!

    @ Luvin Tuf Guy, That was a great way to use 5 sentences to make no point at all. Keep it up Ricardo, I bet I can make you type out a whole homoerotica novel by the end of the day.

    Luvin Tuf Guy you just made an idiot out of yourself buddy. You are getting owned by this stupid troll, go kill yourself Let me explain it to you slowlyyyyyy ">" is greater than "<" is less than did that max out your IQ of 7 or what?
  18. TUF Guy Says:

    Tue, 11/04/08 - 07:20


    @ Kimbo Sux, If I needed your help or advice in dealing with queers I would have paid you a visit at the balerina academy a long time ago. I would have probably died laughing but still, my point is as clear as liquid Ununquadium

    You said you use roids, then later stated that roids leads to homosexuality. Think about it for a while and it will come to you, sweet cheeks. Sorry I used direct quotes but failed to spell out the meaning of it all for my Special Little Trooper. *HUGS!*
  20. Luving TUF Guy Says:

    Tue, 11/04/08 - 07:26


    one > means greater than. I figured his reference to Leben ment roids "leads to" homosexuality. My bad snoogums.

    And next to none of these comments have ANYTHING to do with the fact that, like him or not, Michael Bisping is a class act that beat a roided fighter, and only wishes the best for Leben. *sigh* This s-TUF-f is getting old, joke or not.

    You guys ripping on fags should really suspend your judgment until you suck on a prolapsed ass. It tastes so good.

    lol @ ppl getting worked up over TUF guy. I am going to make it really clear to you: He's Joking, and you're the douche for not being able to realize this. also Bisping is faux class. He tries to come off as respectable, european bourgeoisie, but then says shit like that last paragraph of his quote.
  26. Olie Says:

    Why do people dislike Bisping? Is it because he's a Brit? I think he's a skillful fighter. I know a lot of people find his style boring but he gets results and he always comes across as pretty respectful and doesn't trash talk as much as some guys. The sad thing is, people will still perfer Leben over Bisping despite the steroids. I'm not Bisping's biggest fan but I can't find anything to really dislike the guy.

And I can power lift tuf gay, and all his gay friends.....hurrrrgggggggg. oops....hang on, I ripped a quad......and I think I shit my pants....ok be back later to brag and boast more.

    Maybe Leben will learn how to fight in the 9 months he has off now. What a waste of air.
