Todd Grisham knew exactly what he was doing.
Tension breeds great television and that’s precisely what we got when Grisham stirred the pot on the eve of UFC Fight Night 106 in Brazil.
UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping and former UFC welterweight Yves Edwards were tasked with analysing the fights taking place in Fortaleza and it was during the weigh-in show that television gold showed itself.
Edwards was asked who he felt would come out on top when Bisping welcomes former 170lbs kingpin Georges St-Pierre back to the Octagon later this year.
And credit to ‘The Thugjitsu Master’, he didn’t sugarcoat his opinion just to please the man sat immediately to his right.

“My money is on GSP,” Edwards answered, with a smile on his face.
Bisping didn’t rise to the comment, as he replied with a stern “Thank you… Moving on.”
But ‘The Count’ clearly carried some indignation into Saturday night’s coverage of the fight card as he continued to take jabs at Edwards throughout the event whenever the broadcast would throw back to the studio.

Bisping doesn't know how to switch his rifle to safety, much less burst-fire. Going at it with Yves Edwards on the post-fight show. pic.twitter.com/ZnoGVsKGsl

@thugjitsumaster Yves Edwards fantastic as always. @UFCONFOX put him on more shows! The guy is a class act and he even puts up with Bisping!

Bisping keeps throwing jabs at Yves Edwards. Clearly annoyed by him picking GSP to win the other day.
