Michael Bisping, former UFC middleweight champion and current commentator and analyst, spoke out about Arman Tsarukyan refusing to fight Islam Makhachev on June 1.
"If someone says bad things to you, just ignore them all. Because you have earned the right to fight for the belt. It's not a case where you were given an opportunity and you're like, "Oh, you gotta take it!" No! You earned it. You're a title contender. You beat Dariush, you beat Oliveira, you gave Makhachev a tough fight. You have great skills. I absolutely agree with you - it's a huge opportunity. So you need to have a full training camp," Bisping said on the Believe You Me podcast.
