On an episode of his podcast Believe You Me (H/T Credits bjpenn.com), Bisping slammed Diaz for teasing retirement after his defeat.

He continued, saying:

He said that the window that fighters have is very limited and urged Diaz to go out there and make as much as he can in the limited time that he has. He said that for Diaz to say that he wants to retire after the loss is something that he has “zero respect” for.

However, it isn’t that surprising because Diaz has teased retirement quite a few times before, particularly in his star-making year 2016. Michael Bisping, on the other hand, knows what it’s like to headline Madison Square Garden and take a loss, as he was dethroned by UFC legend Georges St-Pierre two years ago in 2017.
