UFC star Michael Bisping recently raised some questions about the boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao for making “excuses” in the wake of his defeat to Yordenis Ugas last weekend. On short notice, the Filipino star agreed to a bout with Ugas in his first boxing match in over two years.
Many felt ‘Pac-Man’ was the favorite going into the contest, whereas some boxing critics were certain that Ugas could pull off an upset given the right set of circumstances. Khabib ‘Attacked’ By UFC Fan In Sad Video
Michael Bisping reacts to Manny Pacquiao
He recently replied to a Tweet that saw what Pacquiao said. Bisping wrote:
“How about when fighters lose they man up, say fair play, the Better man won. Seems these days some are man enough to fight but not man enough to accept the result. Accept, assess, improve, do better. Denial is never the path forward.”
Some have noted that it may have been taken out of context. Pacquiao was far more humble in his own tweet, putting out the following statement:
“I want to thank God for giving me the strength to fight. I thank my family for always standing beside me. I wish to congratulate Ugas and his team. Although, I hoped for a different outcome, I wish him the best.”

We will have to see if Pacquiao competes again or was this was his last fight inside the squared circle.
