‘I’ll accept your apology’… Michael Bisping fires back after former UFC champion accuses him of ‘crying’ about famous KO losses

Michael Bisping has hit back at Jamahal Hill on social media.

The former light heavyweight champion has criticized referee Herb Dean, who he says failed to properly separate him from Alex Pereira after he accidentally landed a low blow at UFC 300 in April.

'Poatan' pinned Hill against the cage and knocked him out seconds later.

During a recent episode of his podcast “Believe You Me,” Michael Bisping used the words “sore loser” while describing Hill's reaction to suffering defeat in the biggest fight of his career.

Michael Bisping and Jamhal Hill feud on social media

Jamahal Hill caught wind of Michael Bisping's comments before messaging him on X – formerly known as Twitter – on Friday evening.

The 33-year-old, who will face Jiri Prochazka in the UFC 311 co-main event on January 18, accused Bisping of hypocrisy.

Hill says the UFC Hall of Famer has consistently complained about his famous knockout losses to Dan Henderson and Vitor Belfort, both of whom used TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) during their combat sports careers.

He tweeted: “@bisping calling me a “sore loser” and talking “like men” about losing is the craziest s*** to me ever!!!

“Bro, you've been crying and salty about Dan Henderson for 20 years and Vitor Belfort for 15 years!!! You'd think you'd lose half your career and you'd know how!!”

Bisping soon hit back on 'Sweet Dreams'. The former middleweight champion believes Hill read his comments without context and came to the wrong conclusion that he was being disrespectful.

'The Count' insists his comments came from a positive place.

'Did you pay attention to what I said? Or did you read a stupid headline? If it's a headline, I accept your apology :),” Bisping replied.

“I said you were a bit of a sore loser because you're a real competitor, and then explained how, if that energy is channeled properly, it can really be beneficial to a fighter's mentality.

“I was nice and didn't talk nonsense. I didn't think of you as the easily offended type. Good luck with your camp.”

Hill has yet to respond to Bisping, claiming he was wrong.

Michael Bisping contacts the loser of the $1 million PFL fight

Around the same time he was feuding with Jamahal Hill, Michael Bisping used his social media platform to check on fellow Englishman Brendan Loughnane.

The man who was infamously rejected by Dana White in 2019 got another chance to prove how wrong the UFC boss was as he looked to become a two-time world champion on Friday night.

Loughnane was covered in blood and bruises after taking a five-round beating from 18-0 Dagestani star Timur Khizriev in the final of PFL's $1 million featherweight tournament.

After hearing about the result, Bisping tweeted: “Yes, I just read an article and had a text chat with him. Even though it wasn't his night, he has a lot to be proud of. Most people who start an MMA career don't achieve anything, if we're being honest.

“Let alone become a champion of a major organization and win life-changing money. I am proud to call him a friend. And as a Brit, I am proud of the way he represented our country. Big respect, @BrendanMMA.”
