Bisping didn't mean to insult retired UFC lightweight Perez

UFC veteran Michael Bisping provides clarification for his recent comments on retired lightweight, Frankie Perez.

After earning his first win under the UFC banner with a knockout over Sam Stout at UFC Fight Night 74, lightweight prospect Frankie Perez shocked the audience when he announced his retirement from the sport. The 26-year-old cited the aches and pains accumulated from daily training for his retirement, which triggered a heated Michael Bisping to weigh in on the issue.

'The Count' said that Perez 'hasn't got the cojones' to compete in mixed martial arts in the UFC's post-fight show and stated how MMA is a 'real man's' sport.
