Rivera’s team wants Bisping suspended

Jorge Rivera’s team has called for Michael Bisping to be “fined and suspended” by the UFC, following incidents after the fight between the two last night.

Bisping won the fight through a second-round TKO. After his win Bisping walked towards Rivera’s corner and spat at him, but the Brit denies that he directed it at anyone.

“Bisping’s conduct after he was awarded the TKO is not acceptable,” Rivera’s manager Lex McMahon told MMA Fighting in an email.

“Taunting and spitting at and on Jorge’s coach Matt Phinney is the deplorable conduct of a schoolyard bully. And like all bullies, Mr. Bisping needs to be punished. In this instance, it would be appropriate if Bisping is fined and suspended by the commission and/or the UFC.”
