The Count's account of the TUF water fight
Michael Bisping gave a backhanded apology to DaMarques Johnson for the water-in-the-face incident on last week's episode of "The Ultimate Fighter" in his blog posting this week. It went something like this.

"Unlike standing up for my team regarding the training times, I do regret this, as it was out of order. Even though Johnson and I don't see eye to eye, I shouldn't have done it, despite him piping up and continuing to push my buttons yet again while I was trying to have a conversation with Henderson.

"But I apologised, and come on, a grown man storming off and literally CRYING in the car park for 15 minutes because he'd had a bit of water thrown at him? What is this, American's Next Top Model? It was the most pathetic, self-indulgent performance I've seen since Gwyneth Paltrow won the Oscar.

"Basically, the guy had been smirking and sniping at me from day one, right from when I saw through his ingenious plan to psych me out in the kitchen when I first got to Vegas.

"He would continue to snipe and smirk at me throughout the entire series and I know if one of my team was disrespecting Henderson, I'd have told him to tone it down a bit."

Read the rest of the blog, including some interesting accusations about the show's editing and the real story behind the training times fiasco, here.
