10 Best Trash Talkers In UFC History
3. Michael Bisping
The only British fighter on this list, Michael Bisping has been a trailblazer for the sport of MMA in Europe in a number of ways. Being both the first winner of The Ultimate Fighter, and the first UFC champion to hail from the UK.
Bisping has recently retired and appears to have a cooler head than he displayed in his early UFC career, but his verbal skills are just as sharp as ever, as evidenced by the recent back-and-forth with Colby Covington on UFC Tonight.
The Count was always quick on the verbal trigger throughout his illustrious time in the UFC, but perhaps some of his best work occurred prior to his career-defining fight with Luke Rockhold at UFC 199. After Rockhold stated at the pre-fight press conference: "You put yourself out there, you believe it and you achieve it, That’s what I do. I know what I’m going to do." Bisping responded hilariously:
It sounds like the worst self-help book you’ve ever read. Conceive, achieve, believe. Shut the f*** up
Bisping would go on to prove that Rockhold must not have believed hard enough, knocking out the American in a major upset to complete his magnum opus, winning the UFC Middleweight Title.
