Michael Bisping calls UFC on FX 7 opponent Vitor Belfort a 'complete phony' (Video)

According to a Jan. 16 report from Yahoo! Sports, UFC middleweight contender Michael Bisping thinks Vitor Belfort is a complete phony.

In Bisping's official blog on Yahoo! Sports, he ripped into the legendary Brazilian, essentially calling him a cheater for using TRT.

"The way my mind is right now, Vitor Belfort is a complete phony and I can’t wait to beat him up," Bisping said.

Bisping fights Belfort on Jan. 19 in the main event of the UFC on FX 7 card in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

"He’s already been busted for elevated testosterone back in 2006, and his pathetic evasions of straight questions about TRT speaks volumes," Bisping said of Belfort. "If he wasn’t on TRT, he’d just say so. Instead he started mumbling and getting all embarrassed like a teenager caught with a porno mag. It is really pathetic. With a physique like his, you’d think he’d jump at the chance to deny he’s taking TRT."

UFC President Dana White already said that Bisping will receive a title shot against UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva is he gets passed Belfort.

"He’s trying to take my title shot off me," Bisping said of Belfort. "He’s trying to take my family’s security off me. And he’s prepared to cheat to do it. I’m not letting any of that happen. He can be injecting rocket fuel for all I care. The bottom line is I’m going to kick his arse Saturday night.
