Here is what the fans had to say:
- That takes away from the mythology of TRTVitor
- He literally blames Vitor for it . I’m so confused lol
- Oh bubba, Vitor was on awl the PEDs
- He knew everyone would blame a roided Belfort.
- Damn, Vetor using PEDs was very uncool, but Bisping really did everything he could to imply that he lost his eye because of Vitor
- I was shocked he didn’t finish the fight with that. It was crazy he let up in such a huge fight.
- Well to be fair they both are on TRT
- He literally called out hendo immediately tho before the ufc offered anything
