Michael Bisping: A true legend of the sport
‘The Count’ hails a 30-9 professional MMA record under his name. Although he had a few setbacks on his resume, Bisping overcame them with some stunning wins. Sadly, in 2013, in a fight against Vitor Belfort, ‘The Count’ suffered a gruesome eye injury that put his career in jeopardy.
However, the Englishman overcame all the odds and returned to the UFC octagon. Despite the injury, Bisping put on a great performance and won against one of the biggest names in the sport, Anderson Silva.
