Michael Bisping: Mayhem Miller's mouth is definitely bigger than his brain
Posted on September 10, 2011, 03:52 PM by Joey SantosusWith the fourteenth season of The Ultimate Fighter rapidly approaching, the UFC held a TUF 14 media conference call today, just one week ahead of the show's premier on Spike TV. Slated to begin airing on September 21st, top Middleweight contenders Michael "The Count" Bisping and Jason "Mayhem" Miller will serve as opposing coaches, while 32 contestants, both Bantamweights and Featherweights, will compete for their shot at a six-figure UFC contract.
Below are highlights from today's Conference Call, which featured coaches Michael Bisping and Jason Miller (via MMAMania.com):
Michael Bisping
• Jason Miller hasn't [annoyed me as much as Jorge Rivera]. Rivera was different. It wasn't just him, it was his whole team and they talked about family and stuff I don't want to go into and drag up again and give him more press. Jason's not like that, he's just a bit idiotic. He would try to wind me up, you'll see. They were all very, very feeble attempts, you know. His mouth is definitely bigger than his brain. He tried a few things and they were pretty childish so they didn't wire me up to that extent.
• I always give people the benefit of the doubt. Me and Jason have some mutual friends and I thought he was an okay kinda guy. We were doing press things and shooting commercials and the more I was around him the more he got under my skin. He really started to piss me off really. You'll see why he's not on my Christmas card list.
Jason Miller
• You'll see as the season plays out. Apart from the amazing fights, I've had a chance to watch the first two episodes. The thing I recognize is Dana White, a guy who's seen a ton of fights, he says these are the best fights ever to get into the house. Besides the excellent fights and the very talented group of guys getting back into the show, me and Mike put a damn good show on. I credit the UFC for making that decision to put us on the show together because we both have strong personalities and we were meant to clash.
• I had one priority going into this show. My first priority was to make sure I gave full attention to coaching these guys. That was my first priority and the second was to make good television. After the first week, I was a bit bored so I started cranking it up. We need to make something happen so the audience was engaged and these things happened.

Comments
I wish I could like him.
Bisping first whines about how Rivera crossed the line by talking about his family then starts talking about Mayhem's sister. What a worthless, whiny POS. A part of me wants to see him win and get a title shot just so that we can get to see AS tear him a new a-hole and expose him for the plodding, mediocre clown that he is.
Bisping is such a hypocrite.
I'm all for handing Bisping to A. Silva just to shut him the "F" up for good. Problem is, even after Silva destroys him, Bisping would still have some lame ass excuse for losing.
Seems to me I can remember Bisping insulting the intelligence of the guy he was about to fight. It didn't work very well for him, as I recall...
Pretty standard trash talk nothing out of the ordinary for Bisping. However iIfind it interesting that JOEY picked out two comments from Bisping that were about Miller, but Miller's were about TUF. Very interesting.
I picked the most substantial quotes from MMAMania and linked back. These are the two longest quotes available from each fighter. I assure you that you're over analyzing the situation. This whole nationalism issue seems to be a recurring topic for you tho.
P.S. I am one of the few fans who think Bisping is an alright guy. Check my Middleweight rankings :)
Can't help it, I've always felt Bisping's actions have been received in the wrong way by americans fans, not to mention there aren't dozens of UK fighters on Bisping level. I've been going at it with Bisping hater's on here since I joined Lowkick. Maybe if america only had handful of top fighter's you'd get it.
I don't get why most of you guys seem to hate Bisping so much man, i mean, he brings it every time he fights, he doesn't stall or lay and pray or anything like that, yeah he might have a big mouth at times but so have a lot of other fighters. Also, despite what you guys say he has proved himself inside the octagon and has a good solid record......
......of the two Miller is definately the bigger idiot, the guy acts like a twelve year old at times, besides that i think he's a good fighter but i don't think he will beat Bisping. I can't wait to see this season anyway, the fights will be fast and furious with it being the lower weight classes and with Dana saying they're some of the best fights of the show you know they're going to be good.......
I don't recall Miller going up to someone's corner and spitting on them...
Yes, Miller acts stupid on occasion (the Strikeforce brawl being a great example) but Bisping has acted like a malicious, vindictive c*nt on more than one occasion. Even worse, when somebody talks shit about him in return, he starts to whine about it.
Terra, It is because guys like Miller or Sonnen are joking. Stinging but joking. Bisping is so serious and angry and just comes across as....goofy. I'll give him credit for one thing though. If it wern't for him we wouldn't have the verb: "Hendo'd", as in "Wow, that guy just got F**Kin Hendo'd".
I call it H-Bomb
Mayhem Miller's mouth is definitely bigger than his brain....
That's frigging hilarious coming from the biggest pea-brain in MMA, Michael Bisping. He has no idea how outclassed he is in the brains department. Good thing he did not go up against Sonnen. Sonnen would have eaten him alive. Bisping's ego is enormous, he's got himself fooled into thinking he can dish it out with the best of them.
Who doesn't piss Bisping off?
Damn. I want Mayhem to beat Bisping--but my personal antipathy towards Bisping does not cloud my judgment. Despite being a douche--Bisping is a good fighter--who has improved his last few fights.
One can still hope...
