The proliferation of social media has had a significant impact on the behavior of people today. Despite its widespread usage, the concept of ‘influencers’ is still something that is not finding its footing among a vast group of people, irrespective of age and demographic. However, the increasing popularity of influencers has led to a wave of controversies and heated debates, with some questioning the authenticity of the content they produce. Recently, UFC veteran Michael Bisping shared his take on a viral clip that surfaced online. The clip featured a confrontation between a young fitness influencer and an elderly citizen over something trivial. The situation made for quite the laughingstock for ‘The Count’ and many of his followers, who weighed in with their own insights.

The clip showcases a young girl who identifies herself as a fitness influencer and is all set to shoot her video in the public park. However, her plans hit a roadblock when an old man takes a seat on the bench right behind her, which happens to be in the frame, too. She politely requests him to move to a different bench so that she can record her video without any interruption. However, the old man persists and gives her the same advice on finding a different spot. He wants to rest, and he isn’t willing to move. The exchange between the two turns into a lengthy back-and-forth, but neither of them seems to budge.
