On Wednesday’s edition of “Conan,” UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping retracted – mostly – some prior comments about his upcoming opponent.
Bisping (30-7 MMA, 20-7 UFC) and former longtime welterweight titleholder and all-time MMA great Georges St-Pierre (25-2 MMA, 19-2 UFC) fight for Bisping’s title in the UFC 217 main event, which takes place Nov. 4 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Earlier this year, Bisping said he believed St-Pierre delayed the fight so he could get steroids out of his system.
But with late-night host Conan O’Brien, who is one of many new celebrities who purchased an investment stake in the UFC after it was sold to WME-IMG, Bisping said he doesn’t really believe St-Pierre was using steroids.
Check out the video clip above, as well as the other clips from Bisping’s appearance on TBS below.
