UFC Middleweight Champion Michael Bisping stormed onto the stage nearly fifteen minutes late for his press conference opposite of Georges St-Pierre on the eve of “UFC 209” and was accused of being drunk for the appearance by his challenger. While that was not likely to be the case, Eddie Bravo revealed that Bisping may have been a bit hungover as the two got into an altercation the night before that piqued the interest of many.
Bravo revealed on a recent edition of “The Joe Rogan Experience” [via. Bloody Elbow] that Bisping had blacked out previous to their argument, and Bisping already apologized to the grappling ace for the misunderstanding:
“I was complimenting him, and I can see how he thought that implied he was subpar at one point.”
“He was like ‘I take offense to that man! I was always a bad ass since the Ultimate Fighter show.’ I understand where he’s coming from,” Bravo continued. “He didn’t even remember, and he blacked out. But we’re cool, he DM’d me on Twitter and said ‘dude, sorry about last night.’”
