Michael Bisping opens up on Nick Diaz
Bisping slammed Diaz’s critics in the most recent video uploaded to his YouTube channel:
“When he’s doing his shadow boxing for the cameras, he looked a little laboured and a little slow. But guess what? A lot of people do. Do you know why? because you despise that sh*t… I think when we saw Nick Diaz do it the other day, he was just kind of doing that. He was just kind of going through the motions, he has to do it.
“He’s a professional, so he’s going to do it. But I don’t think he was trying to put on a performance where everyone goes ‘Wow, did you see the speed of that shadow boxing?’ No, Nick’s a chill guy, that’s not what he was doing at all. He’s like ‘alright I gotta shadow box a bit for the camera, there’s no one there. I’m not fighting my opponent. I’m not wasting nervous energy, I’m not getting psyched up for no reason.'”
