Michael Bisping goes off on Instagram critics

UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping is an extremely polarizing figure. ‘The Count’ is never one to shy away from speaking his mind, even when it means he faces backlash from his fellow fighters, or the MMA community. For example, after his UFC 204 win over Dan Henderson in Manchester, England, last month, Bisping took time out of his post-fight Octagon interview to shred the rest of the top ranked middleweights.

Despite a 5-fight win streak that has seen him go 3-0 over the course of 2016, winning the middleweight championship by knocking out Luke Rockhold on just two weeks notice before then defending the belt just months later by defeating Dan Henderson via unanimous decision in the main event of UFC 204.

While Bisping is the reigning, defending, middleweight champion, he frequently finds himself being criticized on social media by random users. Which prompted the champ to fire back in a newly posted message to Instagram:

Here's a random picture of my foot. Interested to see all the negative comments that can come from the sad twats that seem to comment on my Instagram pics. Here's the facts you losers, and I apologize for any foul language. Get a life, man I actually feel sorry for you. Why do you even follow me to talk shit? Occasionally, I look at some of your profiles….. Wow!!! Please stop. I don't respond because I actually feel sorry for you, because you are some of the saddest looking Virgin assholes I've ever seen. Anyway, I'm going back to chilling in my massive house, with my beautiful children and wife, with my UFC world belt staring at me right now. Regardless of anything you can say, I'm ridiculously happy. Can any of you spiteful people say that? Haha nope! Otherwise you jealous assholes wouldn't spend your time hating on Instagram. Meanwhile I hope you find something at the job centre, a job, a girlfriend, or maybe just a sense of purpose and happiness. God knows your life is lacking if this is how you like to spend your free time. Find something useful to do, add to the world, be happy and spread love. Oh and in the meantime…. Go fuck yourself. And you know what's really funny? All you dicks would beg me for a picture if you met me. Now that's funny!!!!!
