Earlier on Sunday, UFC president Dana White took to Twitter to congratulate Michael Bisping on a legendary career after the former UFC middleweight champion’s documentary was released.
Only last week, Michael Bisping’s documentary film ‘Bisping: The Michael Bisping Story’ was released across several live streaming platforms. The documentary showcases Bisping’s career and how ‘The Count’ had fought through adversity and several challenges to capture the UFC middleweight crown.
Bisping received several congratulations and praise from fans all across the world. He also had a special shoutout from his former boss, Dana White.
On Sunday, UFC chief Dana White took some time out to pay a special tribute to Michael Bisping. White wrote, “Congrats Bisping on a bad a** career worthy of a documentary. U deserve it all my brother.”
In 2013, during a fight against Vitor Belford, Bisping suffered a retinal detachment in his right eye which led to a complete loss of vision. However, he still continued fighting with one eye for the remainder of his career and even went on to win the UFC middleweight title.
During his 15 years as an MMA fighter, Michael Bisping held a 30-9 professional fight record. Prior to signing with the UFC in 2006, Bisping had an unbeaten 10-0 record.
Bisping began his UFC stint with 4 wins in a row before suffering defeat against Rasha Evans. However, it was in 2016, at UFC 199, when Bisping became the first-ever British fighter to win a UFC title.
‘The Count’ knocked out Luke Rockhold in the first round of their championship clash which also got him the performance of the night. Ever since then, no other British fighter has been able to win a world title in the promotion. Bisping eventually retired from the sport in 2018.
Bisping has currently been working as a commentator for the UFC.
