Michael Bisping, Dan Henderson in Explosive Twitter Exchange
Michael Bisping and Dan Henderson traded barbs over Twitter on Saturday night in what became a heated exchange.
Bisping provided color commentary at UFC 251. Apparently this wasn’t sitting well with Henderson, who was trying enjoy the fights without having to listen to his old rival. Henderson decided to take a jab at Bisping and remind him of a special day they share together.
Enjoying the fights as much as possible while having to listen to Bisping. Happy anniversary to the night I put you to bed. @bisping

After hearing from his old nemesis Bisping decided to return a shot of his own.
Drinking again and reliving your old glory. All polite to my face and talk shit online. Didn’t have you down as a keyboard warrior. https://t.co/zFNNChhF7I

In response, Henderson reminded the British UFC Hall of Famer of his job responsibilities and potential shortcomings as a commentator.
Surprised you saw this, guess you’re not keeping your one eye on the fights as you’re supposed to be commentating. No wonder why your commentating is shit. https://t.co/Gs8cVQ2xTy

At this point, Bisping had heard enough and responded with a few verbal haymakers at the former champion known for his right-hand power.
Says the guy that’s totally irrelevant haha. Go on insult my eye. So what. Shows what a true piece of shit you are. But you say hi when you see me. Lol. A real disgrace to the flag that you fly lol. Doesn’t surprise me. Total fake, should of known, steroid cheating cunt! https://t.co/gdqaQE12kF

Bisping and Henderson have had animosity toward one another since the build-up to their first fight at UFC 100 in 2009. Henderson defeated Bisping via knockout with a vicious right hand punch that is considered by many to be one of the sport’s most legendary finishes. However, Bisping won their rematch at UFC 204 in 2016 in what was Henderson’s final fight. Will we see a rubber match? Probably not, but at least we can enjoy their spats on social media.
