Michael Bisping has never been one to shy away from confrontation.
The brash Brit has made a career out of talking the talk in the lead up to fight night then backing up the bantering when the cage door closes on fight night. The 36-year-old's unique approach has made him one of the most captivating fighters on the UFC roster for nearly a decade, and made The Ultimate Fighter season-three winner a popular target for call outs from his fellow fighters in the middleweight fold.
That particular trend continued last week when surging contender Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza's manager did an interview where he claimed Bisping had turned down the chance to face the Brazilian grappling machine at UFC on Fox 15 in Newark, New Jersey.
