UFC star Michael Bisping, who is smart-mouthed and always comes back with witty remarks, left the MMA fans in splits with his comical comments while handling microphone duties at UFC Kansas City.
The UFC Hall of Famer, who switched to commentating after hanging his gloves, was assigned as a color commentator at T-Mobile Center on April 15. While the former UFC champion’s commentating style divides the fans, he brings an unorthodox approach to the commentators’ desk. Likewise, his hilarious take during Pedro Munhoz and Chris Gutierrez’s fight compelled his fellow commentator, Brendan Fitzgerald, to leave a compliment for the Brit.
Notably, ‘The Count’ unknowingly parted an alliterative comment while calling the main-card fight. Further, Fitzgerald taught him what the word ‘alliterative’ meant and unwittingly invited a cheeky dig from Bisping.

Fitzgerald then informed Bisping that alliteration meant starting words in succession with the same letter. However, this also afforded the British commentator an opportunity to leave a sharp comment. Thus, he stated, “Stop saying such silly sentences.”
In response, Fitzgerald had nothing but amazement at the wits of Bisping as he emphatically replied, “Well done again.”
How did the fans react to the amusing banter?
While some fans revealed they enjoyed Bisping’s commentating, others parted with humorous reactions.
