There’s seldom a minute in any fighter’s profession where they have a larger captive audience than simply after a UFC win. Numerous interviews, podcasts, and social networks posts get attention, sure, however absolutely nothing rather compares to that two-minute window when the entire battle sports world is viewing to see what someone is stating.
That’s why it drives UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping insane when he’s performing those post-fight interviews and professional athletes stop working to capitalize. Some simply dispense a thousand thank yous while others end with the typical expression, “I’ll combat whoever the UFC puts in front of me,” however Bisping guarantees that’s the most significant error anyone might make.
“It’s not only simply me, however Chael Sonnen or anybody with any experience states you have the world by the palm of your hands,” Bisping informed MMA Fighting. “You’ve simply won.
