Him carrying on, knowing he could go blind and get seriously hurt is a testament to how much of a warrior this guy is. He deserved to be a champ at that point. Many great things that’s happened in the UFC but this is probably the greatest story that’s ever happened in UFC history. I always wanted him to be champ as an Englishmen and so glad he achieved it against all odds too. Makes us even more proud of him that he did it after all he’s been through. Watching him win and KO Rockhold at 5am in the morning here in England was the best moment ever watching MMA. Everyone in the house was woken up too. They were pissed, it was tremendous. Love you Mike ✌🏻

I'm sure he was far from being homeless or starving but still once you accumulate that many material things you really don't want to give it up.

There are very few people in the history of the UFC who we can genuinely say and agree were the absolute definition of warriors. Bisping in every single aspect is one of them. There are/were people who have warrior like performances (Ortega vs Max), even warrior type periods in their career, but eventually most people fade out and become more concerned with their health and how they perceive fighting, - which most people can understand 100% - we saw this with Nick Diaz for example. But Bisping without a shadow of any doubt, was a warrior from the beginning to the absolute very end.

K i agree with what your saying but your examples are not too good. You named a beatdown fight, and which i guess the warrior in ortega for having that chin. And nick diaz who was out for 6 or 7 years not training and before his last fight he never fought for 3 years. No need to throw nick under the bus. You couldve said Diego Sanchez, Dan Henderson, shogun, wanderlei, matt brown, just to name a few if you talking about guys who lost their chin but once had the best. But to whos a warrior, there is alooooot. Man theres so many. Ortega and holloway fight was one sided. Thats not quite being a warrior if you not getting off any offense lol just heart and good chin, a warrior battles back.

If they get to the point where you can replace your "optics" (i.e. eyes) like in Cyberpunk and get superior vision I would totally do it. Hell, even if it just matched your natural eyes I would do it since I suffered a medical accident awhile back that rendered my retinas super sensitive to any bright lights. It's been very annoying ever since, and there's no way for them to naturally recover. It'd have to be some miracle stem cell regenerative treatment, or some type of bionic replacement.

I was in second grade when I lost my right eye to a pencil thrown across the room. It was my dominant eye, and it took a while before I was able to do things like pick up a glass without misjudging and knocking it over, or walking through a doorway without bumping my shoulder. Longer still before I could catch a baseball or accurately throw one. I say a "long time", but a 7 year old adapts pretty quickly, and by the time I was 9 or 10 the only things I had trouble with were those that didn't have anything for reference to size right next to it, giving me an idea of how close it was (such as catching a baseball in mid air), but I was even getting better at that. As I got older, my left eye compensated, and I enjoyed 20/10 vision in it until only very recently as with age things tend to deteriorate. Now I use reading glasses and soon may need corrective lenses to drive. My eye gets tired much sooner than it ever did in the past. I've had a slight case of glaucoma for the last several years, and last year my eye doctor told me I was developing a cataract, but stressed that it was normal at my age, correctable since we caught it early, and nothing to worry about. Having only one eye for most of my life didn't slow me down or hold me back from anything except joining the military (which was ironic because I lost the eye in a school on a military base because my father was in the Air Force), getting a commercial driver's license, and getting a pilot's license. Disqualified from all three of these because of a lack of peripheral vision on my right side and a lack of depth perception. All things said and done, I think having lost the eye so early in life was good for me. At an early age it became second nature for me to pay a little more attention to virtually everything I did so as not to be clumsy or awkward and to try to be a little more precise in everything I do physically to prevent spills or mishaps. Consequently, by the time I was in my teens, it was often remarked on how fast I could learn and become accomplished at any new skills or activities that involved my hand/eye coordination. Where everyone else took weeks or even months to become proficient at many new activities, I took days, and as time progressed, I got better at it faster than they did. Shooting, for instance. I grew up hunting and fishing. I have been shooting and have been around shooters my entire life. Beginning with a BB gun at 6 years old, then a .22 rifle at 8 years old, I have owned and shot guns since I was tall enough to keep both ends of a rifle off the ground at the same time. I had to learn to shoot a long gun (shotgun or rifle) left handed so I could use the sights or scope with my left eye, but that was no big deal. To this day I only know of one person that ever outshot me with either a rifle or handgun. I'm also a fairly decent pool player, having won my share of tournaments. Maybe it's because I grew up not remembering what it's like to have depth perception, but I just don't feel that having only one eye is that much of a hardship. I guess it comes down to not knowing what you have until you lose it or, in my case, not knowing what your were missing when you never had it in the first place. Once in a while, I say that I know why the 3 legged dog still runs and plays. All that being said, I still wouldn't want to fight Mr. Bisping even if he were tied up and I had a baseball bat and a 24 hour head start.

Many great things that’s happened in the UFC but this is probably the greatest story that’s ever happened in UFC history. I always wanted him to be champ as an Englishmen and so glad he achieved it against all odds too. Makes us even more proud of him that he did it after all he’s been through. Watching him win and KO Rockhold at 5am in the morning here in England was the best moment ever watching MMA. Everyone in the house was woken up too. They were pissed, it was tremendous. Love you Mike ✌🏻

I think it's real stupid
Winning the championship with one eye - Story alone needs a movie to be made. Bisping is a warrior.
This man has grown on everyone, I have so much respect for how well he educated a lot of casual fans about MMA. Including me.
Hated him as a fighter, but he's very entertaining to listen to and shares good stories and insight.
I didn't like him til recent
Always been a fan of the Count,just a warrior n he's a very entertaining commentator now,good on him.
I keep seeing this term, 'casual fan.' What exactly is a "casual fan??"
@Pinocchio THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!
Joe is at his best when doing mma podcasts
Agreed
Martial arts is by far what he's most passionate about.
He’s too political now but these are top tier
@@swaglordgio It’s necessary tho, with all the BS going on at the minute we need a platform like his to provide the full picture of things
@@TestySatchel he doesn’t provide the full picture. One podcast won’t provide the full picture especially when it’s not even a legit educational platform. Do your own research. Go to school, actually educate yourself from multiple media’s. Don’t take ALL your info from one podcast on Spotify. Joe admitted it himself that he wasn’t actively showing both sides to things like covid-19. I miss the old Rogan where I could use his podcast to distract from the struggles of life, hear him rant about ufc, chimpanzees and don’t. Now it’s basically like I’m watching the 5 o clock news with all his covid “experts”
One of my favorite sportsperson for his attitude, jokes, fighting ability.. and he was a Champion too!! Hope he stays the same and remains an inspiration!!
I love Bisping commentary, he is always so genuine and has real good, engaging delivery. I love to hear his histories, not to mention the heart to go fight with some of the toughest men on the planet just with one eye. What a legend. Being champion is the just such a good payout for his persistence.
Love him or hate him, Michael Bisping has been an absolute gift to the sport. He was a great fighter and has a PhD in shit talking, which made for many hilarious moments over the years.
"Are you intaksikatid" best mimicry ever
Telling Victor "jesus isn't real" in a staredown was hilarious
@@andrewhamilton5775 it was actually in the middle of the fight and he got KO'd immediately after XD
All the people that used to hate him love him now. Including myself.
New ufc fan here: people hate Bisping?
This man is an amazing storyteller. And an absolute legend imo
I look up to bisping so much, i currently have retinopathy and had to leave martial arts to the wayside, but knowing this man fought with one eye made me believe its possible to live your life and manage with it and still be fulfilled with your life. Legend of a man
My goodness. The UFC should take care of this guy for life for real. Incredible. Much respect to Bisping for the way he has handled it and who he is as a person now.

Seems like they are doing right by him. He has a sweet announcing gig and his podcast and KZhead.
@@Theirishcannoli his title reign finally makes sense to me. if I was blind in one eye, no way I'd fight prime Yoel Romero or Jacare Souza.
Sadly this isn't always the case, there's fighters that have been left with major CTE dimentia and have been left to get on with it after no longer being able to fight. Fisher being just 1 example. It's pretty sad really and the UFC could do so much better by their fighters.
He did cheat the eye tests though he wasn't fit to fight but he took it on himself
I used to not like Michael Bisping years ago, but over time he became one of my most admired athletes in the UFC. His toughness and no excuses attitude won the Belt simultaneously redeeming his defeat against Rockhold and Achieving Championship🏆 belt with 1 eye 👁️. Amazing. That makes it even more remarkable!!! Bravo 👏. I'm sure the UK, his family and friends are very proud
We are very proud of him here in the UK. 👊
Iv only got one eye n I can't begin to tell you the respect I have for Bisping winning the UFC belt one eyed.Its incredible,I still struggle with day to day things never mind winning a world championship belt.Mad respect.
Agreed 👍
I hated him....when he was on tuf...and coached tuf...then liked him when he ko like...then hated him when he beat hendo in his last fight....hendo being my fav fighter of all time....now like him again once I found out he only had 1 eye years ago
@Adam Chapman he was never a heel. It's his British humour and banter a lot of Americans seemed to have a problem with
Truly a British Legend, Bisping makes me proud to be a Brit. 🇬🇧 An absolute warrior but a kind and humble person also!
🇬🇧👊👏
You aren't cut from the same cloth as these men. Stop trying to make it look like England is full of Bispings.
@@Inaluogh bet ur fun 😂
@@Inaluogh He's from Up North, much poorer region so tougher people on average
who's trying to do that lol You're off your head even saying that. It's weird. Somebody is being proud of somebody doing a great job, having merit in a sport, from their country. It's inspiring, nothing wrong with that at all. Only some of the extremer end of the Yanks says this sort of thing, because of how they're educated. In their mind The Yank is allowed , USA USA USA proud proud, but not the English man, Look when Mike Tyson on hotboxing, repeatedly mentions something positive about the English in terms of a warrior tradition, and the American guy he's says it to , never knows how to respond, + looks really fucking uncomfortable like he's learned something different from what he got taught in history at school lol Is it like a Yank brainwash? Cognitive dissonance, Yeah anyway we get it, fine, but no one ever slaps these fuckers in the face, by pointing out common sense to them, the basic concept, from George Washington. to General Patton, the two greatest martial heroes in US history ,their veins were full of fucking English blood, These are English cowards that they look up too in their US martial tradition. Like it or not, their genetics were not from the other 195 countries on the earth! Hard I'm sure for a humble Yank to get his head round I can imagine. If I was a Yank I'd probably struggle with it too ,I feel for you Gentlemen sometimes honestly not an easy circle to square.Well.. Bispings full of Polish right lol yet ironically he considers himself English through and through lol Life's funny like that isn't it sometimes @@Inaluogh
With one eye and never on steroids this man became ufc champion. Absolute legend

for sure
dude literately did all he can for his family to be in a better position in life. GOAT
I have heard Bisping tell these stories quite a few times now and i still can't believe it. You have to be a certain level of mad to carry on fighting in the state he was in. Amazing!
I always loved Bisping. I remember when he was on the Ultimate Fighter and won a bout against Ross Pointon (I think it was Ross). Ross was taking the loss really hard and Bisping comforted him and encouraged him. He didn’t have to do that but he did anyway. I admired that about him.
Me personally I admired most when he spat on Jorge Rivera
I was 20yr old in NJ Newark airport at my gate waiting for my plane to Manchester England and he turns up, just him and his lady. A quick hello and congratulations on winning UF before getting on the plane. Never forget how humble and happy he was.
Let’s not forget that there were many fighters with a TRT exemption back when Bisping fought Belfort…and Belfort was one of those people. I have no doubt that Bisping fought clean his whole career which makes his story even more incredible. Seeing him KO Rockhold was a thing of beauty. Definitely a well deserved Hall Of Famer.
Khabib got inducted yesterday 29-0…….yet Gegard Mousasi is 49-7 & 36 years old. Pisses me off. Bisping most definitely deserves HOF statues I agree. Earned it.
Belfort was juiced out of his gizzer
@@JustShotsForMehabsolute understatement mate. 110% disposal of duty of care by the ufc, maybe why they have given Bisping his commentary role…not that he doesn’t deserve it as he’s a great analyst.
@@DLIN666 TRT was legal back then, Belfort was super human for example, he had 4 times the amount of testosterone an average 30 year old male has, it's not why Bisping got the commentary job, he's just good and passionate about it like DC and Felder
@@JustShotsForMeh read my previous reply properly mate. You point out that he was juiced up but then say he was superhuman…he was given trt exemption because of his steroid use. I pointed out how the ufc allowed shit like that and how by doing so they completely neglected their duty of care towards fighters and put the clean ones in danger of severe consequences…for example Bisping’s eye. As I already said, he is a great analyst but there are many fighters who could give their perspective but they aren’t working for the ufc - my point being that it MAY be some way for the ufc to try to ensure Financial security for Bisping as he had to stop fighting. Does that provide more clarity for you?
“Conceive, believe, achieve……. Shut the fuck up!” 😂😂😂 ….still one of my favourite lines
"Koncevic, Belivic, Achievic..." - Michael Bisbing, taking the piss out of Luke Rockhold while talking about Count Dante's bullshido
Listening to Bisping and how he is so so dedicated to the sport and what has unfortunately happened to him makes you like the guy, even more, such an incredible athlete.
After losing the sight in my left eye after an accident I feel every word Michael is saying, depth perception sucks to start with, but u just learn to live with everything. What a great bloke
Makes me understand now why bisping has such a problem with doping. Trt Belfort was over the hill until he got on the sauce, bisping probably would have scorched him if not for the roids and instead he lost an eye because of it. Really puts it into perspective
So true!!!
Bingo
Didn't Vitor's toenail or something slice his eye? I know it was a kick, but I thought his nail got him..... If so, they gotta make a rule about that. Like tape the toes, or the doctors clip their nails before the fight.
Not just Vitor. Look at Bispings losses during the TRT era. Wanderlei, Chael and Hendo, all on it. I'd guess Tim Kennedy was too.
@@Danielson1818 i don't know if that's what happened but i know when i used to compete the refs would check our nails to see if they were too long. If we held out our hands, palms out, and the ref could see our nails over the tip of the finger, it was a no go. I remember cutting my nails with a pair of scissors so i wouldn't Gey dq'd
One of the few whos always loved Bisping even when he was UFCs heel. A legit pillar of the sport.
Yip me too.i remember reading about him in the mid to late 90s in Loaded magazine saying what a prospect he was n then I watched him win cage warriors belt.so happy for him to achieve his dreams.
who could like bisping before the hendo fight? That ko was the most satisfying in ufc history

You quit didn’t you?
@@Nunya-gk9frhe did
Dude is an absolute legend, total warrior & super inspirational. really grateful I got to see him fight live in the UFC!
Most fighters UFC or not, would have quit after losing an eye. One VERY difficult decision, that changed the entire tcome of not only his career but his and his family's life. A legend among the legends.
sounds like for him it was an east decision lol
Have you seen this clip of Lex Fridman and Mark Zuckerberg? kzhead.info/sun/hdahZa-AkKOalnA/bejne.html It’s hilarious!! 😂
Well like you said he didn't have much of a choice at that time all he could do was fight for income he had a wife and kids just bought a new house if he were to quit and do some other job that couldn't pay for everything would the wife stay by his side maybe maybe not... I'm sure he was far from being homeless or starving but still once you accumulate that many material things you really don't want to give it up.
Not just most fighters, most athletes, I can't think of a footballer or a basketball player who would do that.
@@graciegjj hilarious
There are very few people in the history of the UFC who we can genuinely say and agree were the absolute definition of warriors. Bisping in every single aspect is one of them. There are/were people who have warrior like performances (Ortega vs Max), even warrior type periods in their career, but eventually most people fade out and become more concerned with their health and how they perceive fighting, - which most people can understand 100% - we saw this with Nick Diaz for example. But Bisping without a shadow of any doubt, was a warrior from the beginning to the absolute very end.
Who else would you put in that category?
Randy Couture? Fighting deep into his 40's, wanting to test himself against the very best.
Andre Arlovski. Still in there going at it.
K i agree with what your saying but your examples are not too good. You named a beatdown fight, and which i guess the warrior in ortega for having that chin. And nick diaz who was out for 6 or 7 years not training and before his last fight he never fought for 3 years. No need to throw nick under the bus. You couldve said Diego Sanchez, Dan Henderson, shogun, wanderlei, matt brown, just to name a few if you talking about guys who lost their chin but once had the best. But to whos a warrior, there is alooooot. Man theres so many. Ortega and holloway fight was one sided. Thats not quite being a warrior if you not getting off any offense lol just heart and good chin, a warrior battles back.
@@jamessimpson710 Robert Whittaker, Covington, Nurmagomedov
If I saw this in a movie it’d definitely make me say “only in movies” absolutely incredible story and one of my favorite fighters
Heard this life story so many times now never gets old or boring what a true legend in his own making . Had no choice but too keep fighting 😎👊
Bisping is the kind of person/athlete they make movies out of. Dude's an ironman with balls of steel. And with all his injuries and ailments and ALL the odds stacked against him, he still kept his body healthy and won the championship with one fkn eye! Dude is an inspiration.

Joe trying to get Bisping to get a bionic eye🤣
I bet if they work and become available Joe will pay to get him one, he's that type of person and he would do it just to talk about his friend with the robot eye and how good it works lol
If they get to the point where you can replace your "optics" (i.e. eyes) like in Cyberpunk and get superior vision I would totally do it. Hell, even if it just matched your natural eyes I would do it since I suffered a medical accident awhile back that rendered my retinas super sensitive to any bright lights. It's been very annoying ever since, and there's no way for them to naturally recover. It'd have to be some miracle stem cell regenerative treatment, or some type of bionic replacement.
One of the most beautiful conversations I have ever listened in to.
Incredible determination from him. Scary that he would risk his health so badly but incredible determination.
If Michael Bisping gets a robot eye, and doesn’t play Kano in a Mortal Kombat movie I will be pissed
Lmao smart
He auditioned for the last MK movie.
@@AHighlander so the only thing stopping him is the eye
Nice to hear just fight talk during these mad times. Stay blessed everyone !
@Pinocchio wtf
Him winning that title was and still is one of my favourite ufc moments of all time
Not only an absolute outstanding fighter. One of the real best of ufc. A genuine good positive man/father. Great inspiration great attitude.
This just shows that fighters like Michael Bisping are a different breed than most of us. We'd use a bad eye as an excuse not to fight, and he's trying to get around it so he can.
Well, as he said, he didn't really have a choice. He needed to keep fighting to pay his bills.
Iv only got one eye n every time I bang into something or miss picking up cutlery or something n get embarrassed I just think get yourself together Bisping won a world title with one eye so stop feeling sorry for yourself,he's an inspiration to all us cyclops 🤣
Bro I’ll use any excuse not to fight, not anywhere near the level of a bum eye
i hear what your saying and in alot of ways agree (fighters are different breeds, fighters like bisping are even more...) but there is also the element of pretty universal human stubborn-ness, particularly in regards of being kept from doing what we love. basically another form of 'save the player from themselves'. again, not trying to be pedantic or argumentative, just an observation to your point. but ya, bisping's an (amusing) beast.
Become a monster. He's a bloody one eyed MONSTER!
A cyclops! Haha
@@unclenft186 straight out of the Odyssey!
One eyed monster = A dick... How accurate.
From disliked to loved, Bisping has been on a journey. Nothing but respect for this guy. His podcast is also quality
No bs excuses to be better at anything. Truly inspiring n soo motivating. Bisping is a champ.
It's very nice reading these comments and seeing this man get the credit he deserves! Well done Mike and well done MMA community for finally recognizing his heart and accomplishments!
Loved watching MB 's career from beginning to end! He will always be special to me.

Dude kept surprising through out his career, much respect
ffs now i gotta go on spotify to watch this full episode , cheers joe
Ffs? For fux sake?? 🤔
Trying to fight with one eye on any level is difficult. The courage it would take to do so on a proffesional level against the best in the world is incredible.
You have to be obsessed with the sport to win let alone be a champion.
Absolutely,iv only got one eye,still struggle day to day so to think bisping won a world title against the best n did it without steroids is just insane.Im happy to see him successful & healthy in retirement.

Absolutely incredible, fought 11 UFC fights after the Belfort fight with one eye 🔥🤯 So much respect and props for Bisping!
This man is a living legend and deserves to be financially set for the rest of his life.... His 2 artificial knees and blind eye is exactly why UFC fighters deserve to get paid better as there are many guys with life altering injuries from doing MMA.

Whenever I have a difficult task at hand at work, I watch the Rockhold 2 fight to pump myself up. Legendary fight.
I was in second grade when I lost my right eye to a pencil thrown across the room. It was my dominant eye, and it took a while before I was able to do things like pick up a glass without misjudging and knocking it over, or walking through a doorway without bumping my shoulder. Longer still before I could catch a baseball or accurately throw one. I say a "long time", but a 7 year old adapts pretty quickly, and by the time I was 9 or 10 the only things I had trouble with were those that didn't have anything for reference to size right next to it, giving me an idea of how close it was (such as catching a baseball in mid air), but I was even getting better at that. As I got older, my left eye compensated, and I enjoyed 20/10 vision in it until only very recently as with age things tend to deteriorate. Now I use reading glasses and soon may need corrective lenses to drive. My eye gets tired much sooner than it ever did in the past. I've had a slight case of glaucoma for the last several years, and last year my eye doctor told me I was developing a cataract, but stressed that it was normal at my age, correctable since we caught it early, and nothing to worry about. Having only one eye for most of my life didn't slow me down or hold me back from anything except joining the military (which was ironic because I lost the eye in a school on a military base because my father was in the Air Force), getting a commercial driver's license, and getting a pilot's license. Disqualified from all three of these because of a lack of peripheral vision on my right side and a lack of depth perception. All things said and done, I think having lost the eye so early in life was good for me. At an early age it became second nature for me to pay a little more attention to virtually everything I did so as not to be clumsy or awkward and to try to be a little more precise in everything I do physically to prevent spills or mishaps. Consequently, by the time I was in my teens, it was often remarked on how fast I could learn and become accomplished at any new skills or activities that involved my hand/eye coordination. Where everyone else took weeks or even months to become proficient at many new activities, I took days, and as time progressed, I got better at it faster than they did. Shooting, for instance. I grew up hunting and fishing. I have been shooting and have been around shooters my entire life. Beginning with a BB gun at 6 years old, then a .22 rifle at 8 years old, I have owned and shot guns since I was tall enough to keep both ends of a rifle off the ground at the same time. I had to learn to shoot a long gun (shotgun or rifle) left handed so I could use the sights or scope with my left eye, but that was no big deal. To this day I only know of one person that ever outshot me with either a rifle or handgun. I'm also a fairly decent pool player, having won my share of tournaments. Maybe it's because I grew up not remembering what it's like to have depth perception, but I just don't feel that having only one eye is that much of a hardship. I guess it comes down to not knowing what you have until you lose it or, in my case, not knowing what your were missing when you never had it in the first place. Once in a while, I say that I know why the 3 legged dog still runs and plays. All that being said, I still wouldn't want to fight Mr. Bisping even if he were tied up and I had a baseball bat and a 24 hour head start.
Fuck what a horrible thing to happen at a young age all over something so stupid. i feel really bad for you.
Wow, thanks for sharing.
@@marchfifth1754 Don't feel bad for me. I think, in the long run, it made me a better person. As I said, it made me take a little more care with anything I did with my hands, and that carried over into taking extra care with everything I did. I had a wonderful career as a Park Ranger and am now retired, so it all worked out well for me. I'm just thankful it happened when I was so young and didn't have to adjust to losing my depth perception as an adult.

I love Bisping, what a crazy mad warrior. Also, I just LOVE hearing the dude tell a story. Cool to see these two sit down together :)
I'm really glad Bisping has found such success post fight career. The man went through incredible adversity, while still working for his family.
Bisping is a fucking beast man. I don't care what anyone says. He was a showman and that probably rubbed people the wrong way. But he never cheated you on effort or a show. You were always entertained when Bisping's number was called. Not many guy's have his heart.
Bisping is just a man you love, the one friend thats never boring
That brutal KO he received from Henderson, I'll never get it out of my head.
Bisping literally gave his eye to MMA, crazy stuff!
Bisping = Legend
Best 9 minutes i ever watched wow he is a true worrior and you can tell they both genuinely like eachother
What a truly remarkable human being! The epitome of a warrior. One of the best ever and now one of the best commentators in the UFC too.
Real Hall of Famer. Earned his place in mma folklore.
I think just fighter folklore. I am mainly a boxing fan but Bisping is a definite inspiration to anyone who fights
What a great spirit he has.
Fought with one eye! This man will be in my heart forever. LEGENDARY BADASS. Middleweight title, with one eye
i've had an eye injury, had to wear a patch for a few weeks. it was already rough, especially the loss of depth perception and your peripheral vision (eg walking in crowded streets, riding motorbike). can't ever imagine how it is having to fight with one good eye, bisping really sacrificed a LOT and put his whole body on the line.
Would love it if Bisping was on JRE more often
What a fking boss, that's hardcore bisping.
Always great listening to Bisping, he comes across really well any time I listen to him.
Joe: how do you fight with 1 eye? Michael: pretend you have 2
Love this podcast, have a fantastic weekend everyone

Honestly really fucking sad how he lost an eye due to that drug cheat. Dudes a God damn legend in MMA and will forever be my favorite fighter period.
TRT or not you step into the ring to fight someone anything can happen welcome to combat sports.
i dont think people realize how severely it affects your determination of distance having only one eye, it's actually so impressive
Michael Bisping the legend!! His Middleweight championship win is one of my all time favorite moments 👏👏👏👏

sight is easily one of the most priceless body parts. You can get a new heart, you can't get a new eye
Bisping’s a legit legend.
Bisping..is a Beast..I love him been watching him scrap for years. Fighting with 1 eye binding has heart
I think not letting Bisping fight with one eye shows a lack of perspective.
Damn still at it Jo?
Take this like...you gave me a good chuckle. Good trade!
I see what you did there 😀
Bisping is the real life Mortal Kombat Kano!!! A legend!!
Bisping is a fighting legend! Massive respect!

Bispings a hero to me, had a similar situation getting my retina torn. For wrestling I had to wear this facemask and it sucked, it would block my vision and opponents would have something extra to grab on to. Long story short, started cheating my eye tests and got out of that thing. Figured it should be up to me whether I want to risk my eye sight or not. Shoutout to my cyclops brothers out there.
