“You little steroid cheating f–k”-Michael Bisping’s message to Chad Mendes
Beefs between UFC fighters are becoming a daily event. Today, two fo the most unlikely fighters to beef started a social media war. Michael Bisping and Chad Mendes took jabs at each other over a failed drug test.
Former UFC middleweight champion, Michael Bisping, is a pure hardcore Mixed Martial artist. Michael has always openly condemned performance-enhancing drugs (PED) and steroid users in the UFC.
Recently on his “Believe You Me” podcast, Michael revealed the text messages he sent to retired UFC featherweight Chad “Money” Mendes.
Chad was flagged in 2016 by the Unites States Anit-Doping Agency (USADA). Chad had an adverse finding believed to be a growth hormone release stimulator. Following a two-year suspension, Chad returned to the octagon and got a win over Myles Jury. He retired shortly after his loss to current featherweight champion, Alexander Volkanovski.
The recent beef stems from Michael Bisping claiming that Chad Mendes made some comments about him on a social media post that was posted by fellow UFC fighter, Tim Kennedy.
“I did see Chad Mendes the wee f*cking sh*te,” Bisping said on his podcast. He f*cking went on Tim Kennedy’s page and called me ignorant, disrespectful and all this type of stuff.”
Michael texted Chad referencing the failed drug test.
“You little steroid cheating f–k,” Bisping said his message started. “Don’t be sour because your career amounted to nothing. ‘Ignorant and disrespectful’? What, like disrespecting the sport by taking steroids by dishonoring yourself and your opponent in a sport that someone could die? Shame on you, you little dips–t.”
Chad responded quickly on Instagram and Twitter posting a photo of the infamous H-Bomb right hand that Dan Henderson landed on Bisping at UFC 100 in 2009.

“Hey @mikebisping let’s get some s–t straight here,” Mendes wrote. “When I LET usada suspend me it was for a banned peptide under their rules. NOT a steroid. Just to put some s–t into perspective for morons like you, too much caffeine in ur system is a violation under usada rules. That entire system is the biggest crock of s–t ever implemented into the @ufc. Unlike all these other guys getting “popped” and making up the worst excuses ever to wheel and deal their suspension down, I owned that s–t like a man. Now keep my name outta ur mouth u old, wooden eye having prick before I snatch ur soul like my boy @danhendo did…. #gtfoh #alwaysrunningyourmouth.”
Michael Bisping responded: “This is awesome. You know what you have in common with every other cheating c–t? You’re also a lying c–t. No one admits to being a bitch.”
Both fighters are now retired. Michael Bisping last fought in 2017 when he suffered a loss to Kelvin Gastelum and subsequently retired. It is very unlikely this beef will escalate as they are three weight classes apart.
But it is fun to watch. Do you think this beef will escalate?
