Michael Bisping wants to retire ‘in a classy way’ — meaning he won’t fight Vitor Belfort

Michael Bisping wants you to know that he is not fighting Vitor Belfort in March.

The former UFC middleweight champion said on his podcast, Believe You Me, that despite any rumors or what Belfort wants, he has no intentions of accepting the rematch with the Brazilian for UFC Fight Night 127 in London.

After Belfort had a co-main event fight against Uriah Hall scrapped due to Hall weight-cutting issues last weekend, the former light-heavyweight titleholder said he wanted to face Bisping on the London card. Belfort has tried to tempt Bisping into taking the fight, even saying that the UFC officially offered the bout to both parties.
