Michael Bisping calls out 'steroid cheating f***' Chad Mendes in expletive-laden Instagram message
Michael Bisping has revealed what he told Chad Mendes after the former featherweight took aim at the UFC Hall of Famer.
Mendes backed up former gym partner Tim Kennedy who continued his war of words with the Brit on Instagram.
Kennedy and Bisping met in 2014 in the Ultimate Fighter Nations Finale as the two coaches squared off and it was the California-native who prevailed.
Although their five-round fight created a modicum of mutual respect between the pair, there is no love lost.
And when Kennedy took aim at the former UFC middleweight champion in May on Instagram, Mendes was not shy to back up his pal.
“I did see Chad Mendes the wee f****** s****,” Bisping said on his podcast Believe You Me. “He f****** went on Tim Kennedy’s page and called me ignorant, disrespectful and all this type of stuff.”
The 41-year-old then read out the direct message he sent to Mendes on Instagram.
“You little steroid cheating f***," he read. "Don’t be sour because your career amounted to nothing.
"Ignorant and disrespectful? What, like disrespecting the sport by taking steroids by dishonouring yourself and your opponent in a sport that someone could die?
"Shame on you, you little dip s***.”
Mendes served a two-year ban from USADA for testing positive for a growth hormone, before losing to Alexander Volkanovski in December 2018 and calling time on his career.
