Michael Bisping: I never turned down Jacare Souza fight, his manager is 'full of sh-t'

How can you turn down a fight you were never offered?

That's a question Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight Michael Bisping has for Gilberto Faria, who not only manages top contender Ronaldo Souza, but also told the mixed martial arts (MMA) media a tall tale about "The Count" running scared from the Brazilian grappler.

A fired up Bisping responds:

"Jacare's manager has said I turned down a fight with JacareMMA. And now it is the headline on all the MMA websites. 'Bisping was offered JacareMMA fight but turned it down' that is complete bullshit.
