Michael Bisping recently shared his take on Chael Sonnen's claims about the UFC offering Leon Edwards his show-and-win bonus money to step away and let Conor McGregor face Kamaru Usman for the welterweight title.
'The count' believes that Sonnen is out of his mind. He further stated that 'Rocky' himself had come out and said that Sonnen's claims were baseless. Here's what Bisping said on his Believe You Me podcast:
"Chael Sonnen's out of his mind. Chael Sonnen is out of his mind. And Leon Edwards came out, what did he say? He said that's absolutely bullsh*t, says absolutely bullsh*t, something like that, right? Yeah, because I am hearing other things. I mean listen, Leon's come out and said that. I mean listen, Chael's doing his YouTube channel, god bless him. he's very good."
Bisping further added that he does a YouTube channel and Sonnen does too. However, the Brit noted that he makes one or two videos a day. It's hard to understand how Sonnen makes five to six, or more a day as he stated:
"I'm not saying that Chael just makes things up for the sake of a video, but it sounds like Chael might be making things up for the sake of a f*cking video. I don't think he does that. But still, Leon came out and said what the f*ck are you talking about?"

Leon Edwards is set to take on Kamaru Usman next
Leon Edwards is all set to challenge Kamaru Usman for the welterweight title next. The duo previously fought in 2015 with 'The Nigerian Nightmare' claiming the win via unanimous decision. However, 'Rocky' has been undefeated since.
He has certainly made his case as the next challenger for the UFC welterweight title. He defeated Nate Diaz in his last fight at UFC 263. Usman, on the other hand, is coming off a second win against Colby Covington at UFC 268.
While a date is yet to be decided for the title fight, one can expect Usman and Edwards to engage in their rematch somewhere around the summer.
