Vanessa Demopoulos comments on her post-fight celebration with Michael Bisping

Vanessa Demopoulos likely prefers embracing Joe Rogan over Michael Bisping during her post-fight interviews.

After winning her fight against Jinh Yu Frey at UFC Fight Night: Tsarukyan vs. Gamrot, 'Lil Monster' jumped into Bisping's arms, who was there to interview her. But 'The Count' did not embrace her as Rogan did in her previous fight. Bisping failed to support Demopoulos while she had her arm around his shoulder.

During the post-fight press conference, Demopoulos said that the embrace by Rogan was better in comparison to the one by Bisping at UFC Vegas 57.

"Joe's was way better... I kinda knew Bisping was not gonna hold me up. It's a part of his personality. I didn't take it personal."

Watch her discuss the moment below:

Bisping reacted to Demopoulos' comments, jokingly suggesting that he was offended by the strawweight's words.

Dillon Danis also commented on Bisping's actions, taking a jibe at 'The Count'.

In an unexpected turn of events, Muhammad Mukaev addressed Danis' comments by saying he would shut 'El Jefe' up.


Vanessa Demopoulos reflects on her interaction with Joe Rogan at UFC 270

'Lil Monster' said that the celebration was something she always wanted to do inside the octagon and that her wish came true at UFC 270.

"I really wanted to do that. So it was something I told myself... I was so hyped, I was like, 'Joe, what's up?' I dapped him up so hard. That was more like sheer surprise, a priceless reaction and just awe of the moment. And the climb, I wanted to do it and I did it. I sent it, it was good."
