(“Look, I respect Michael Bisping. Sort of.”)

When the first video of smack talk dropped, there was general amusement for everyone. Good job promoting the fight, gentlemen, now return to your corners and get ready to rock, right? Well…..no. Jorge Rivera and RangerUp have loosed another volley at Michael “Pillowfists” “The Count” Bisping, and they’ve gone and gotten Bisping himself to appear and share his feelings on the bout.

(Damn, son.  Rivera just put you on blast in front of everybody forever.)

With UFC 126 officially behind us, it is now time to look ahead to UFC 127, and Jorge Rivera and his friends at RangerUp have already called in an insult mortar strike.  Or maybe it’s smack attack helicopter.  Napalm strike of disrespect?  Whatever.  He’s on some Black Ops shit, is all we’re saying.

Now,  this is taking trash talk to a whole ‘nother level.  Rivera scores points for keeping his name out there as a fun dude and generating interest in a fight that could have gotten lost in the shuffle, and if this actually rattles Bisping a bit and throws off his mind set?  Well, then Rivera–who by the way will turn 39 years old the day after the Bisping fight–may have another reason to sing.
