Dan Henderson and Michael Bisping playing nice before UFC 100  | read this item

During Thursday’s Ultimate Fighter “United States vs United Kingdom” media conference call both coaches gave their insight on how the season went and to talk about Saturday night’s finale ‘Hendo’ was asked why he had called ‘The Count’ a “douche bag” which he did say on this past Wednesday’s episode of TUF, but he didn’t seem to recall why he said that and didn’t deny it either.

At yesterday’s tele-conference call Henderson said that he has no problems with Bisping and also thought that he was also an “alright guy” as well as a good fighter.

“I’ve always said that he’s an alright guy and a very good fighter, and a very tough person, you know. Maybe that was something that was the result of some things that happened on the show, being together too long. But I don’t dislike him at all. I don’t think calling him a douche bag means I hate him or anything approaching that.”

And with Bisping on hand it did not seem bother him in the least bit and still has a big amount of respect for the former PRIDE double champion.

“I’ve always respected Dan as a fighter and I respect him as a person,” Bisping said. “He’s not the first guy to call a douche bag and I doubt he’ll be the last, so I didn’t lose much sleep over that.”

Both fighters seemed very nice upon talking about one another during the conference call, but they did not show any of that during TUF for sure as Bisping has done most of the talking, but hopefully there will be one hell of a fight come July 11 for the milestone UFC 100 event where the two will finally meet and just see who is the hungrier fighter looking to make a serious run at the UFC Middleweight championship and kingpin Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva.
