Michael Bisping wears many hats. He is a former MMA fighter, actor, sports analyst, and podcast host. There are only a few such individuals with a resume this diverse. Joe Rogan is one such competent individual who we may consider comparable to Bisping’s credentials. Both of them share common ground in things like podcasts, fight analysis, post-fight interviews, etc. However, it appears that Bisping views Rogan as his arch-rival since the former is looking for validation that he is superior to Rogan in one certain area.

Referring to a post-fight act that involves Vanessa Demopoulos, Michael Bisping questioned Anthony Smith about who he would want to be picked up by during their interview: Joe Rogan or himself.

Fans react to Michael Bisping and Joe Rogan comparison

Both Bisping and Rogan shared a common post-fight act of lifting Vanessa Demopoulos after her victory in the Octagon. This was one feat that the two shared, in addition to a lot of other things. During an interview with Anthony Smith, Bisping asked him while referring to the Demopoulos instance, who he’d rather be picked up by. To which, Smith answered, “I think it would be your arms, you multitasked well. Where you still were able to announce her as the winner even while holding her, so.” Fans heartily enjoyed this bizarre instance that Bisping put out and responded to it with all their joy.
