How GOOD was Michael Bisping Actually?
It seemed liked like Michael Bisping was never going to be a champion in the UFC. The British fighter became one of the best middleweights in the promotion by beating his opponents with high volume striking and pure grit. But he would always come up short when it came to earning a title shot. Which for a time, labelled him as the greatest journeyman in the sport. So how good was Michael Bisping Actually?

-Fought Anderson Silva and koed middleweight champ Luke Rockhold with ONE EYE
-Never tested positive for any illegal enhancement
- never been a sore loser, always admitted that he was the inferior man that day
Michael Bisping being an absolute legend is undeniable
and always ducked yoel romero.
@@mustaquimahmedtanbeer2437 even then he is still an absolute legend
Proud to be like 100, totally agreed and he is a hall of famer for a reason
Anyone with a brain cell ducks Romero after he says I LUV UUUUUUUUUUU to you rofl
@@mustaquimahmedtanbeer2437 Considering how many times Bisping got beaten by proven cheaters, I'd be ducking the hell out of Romero too

Eye see what you did there...
Not 10/20?
@@Flello001 That would of been a good one too lol
It would only be 1/2 if the working eye had perfect vision, i doubt it, so it would have to be less than that, which makes his achievements way better than that of 1 eye
@@user-ve5qn7zr4p half the eyesight, twice the achievements!
He won a belt with one eye who else can say that or ever will again lol
Joe Frazier
@@matijablazevic3476 boxing.... Ew
This fact Is underrated
He should be acknowledged more for this
Matija Blazevic did he really?
@@tominman2023 Joe Frazier was legally blind in his left eye, so he would always wore contact lenses.
the guy was fighting juicehead turkeys with one eye and still was champion
True
🦃
True champ never needed a needle even back in the day where that was normal true fighter
@@averagejoe9570 He never even beat a black guy by KO or submission.
@@pereiraplaza222 what is the point in bringing race into it ? Or is that all you think about ? CRT much ?
I used to not like Bisping at all back in the day. Now he’s one of my favorite fighters ever. Dude is the real deal
Same. I loved watching that H-Bomb when it happened, but I have a hard time watching it now.
And when I found out he only had one eye for his last few fights, that elevated him to legendary status in my book.
@@pkz420 I think he had one eye for his last 10 fights, since the vitor fight
i think we all went through this exact same road. respect!
That is exactly how I felt/feel about him. Dude grows on you.
As others have mentioned when first I became aware of Mike Bisbing I didn't like his loud, obnoxious antics. Another loud mouth Britt is what I thought.. but when I became aware of his vision loss.. missing eyeball? Mad respect ensued. He has earned his right to talk smack..
"I've not seen a fighter for so long remain a top contender and not get a title shot"....cries in Jacare Souza
Both not even close to the length that bisping was there
Cries in Tony Ferguson :(
Cries in CM Punk
Saifullah Khan that one’s even worse he wasn’t just a contender he was the number 1 contender for like 4 years.
@Pete He was rightful champ.
Bisping's story is that of utter grit, determination, bullheadedness and an indomitable will to never give up, never back down and to strive for greatness against all odds. The kind of warrior's spirit it takes to become a world champion fighter with only one eye is almost super-human, and is something most of us can scarcely even imagine. His place in the UFC hall of fame may be simultaneously the most hard-earned and well-deserved of all time - truly legendary.
I met Michael when I interviewed him for a TV Channel I worked for. It took us ages to set up the interview and ate into his lunch break in a busy media schedule. He didn't complain, answered all questions and was happy to pose for photos at the end. He was a real gent.
The only guy who never used steroids at the time everyone was juicing
Lol ok dude just because you love him. No need to defame others.
GSP too
Everyone at the top of their sport uses juice. You can’t get to that level without juicing man.
Mark Hunt is the posterboy for anti-roids though.
@@wokethelast8498 tf do you watch, football? The UFC don’t play that shit no more. For the record I also like football
Pretty crazy how hated he was (at least in the states) and now he’s looked at as the clean underdog who became champ late in his career.
Honestly don't get why he's hated. Seems like typical brit banter. Which is hilarious
NinjapowerMS Personally it was the lead up to the first Rockhold right where I started shifting my opinion of him. I was pretty young when he fought Hendo and he’s probably my favorite fighter of all time
@@NinjapowerMS Loads of Americans are blind to Brit humour. He also made himself the villain at every chance (title fight aside) to sell his fights, which always makes fans appreciate you in hindsight. Look at Chael Sonnen, perfect example of it
Great villains tend to become the best heros
As an American, his Britishness makes him way better.
MIKE is 1 of the Toughest
Men of ALL TIME!!!!" He fought with "1" EYE!!
He won the belt with 1 eye he fought GSP with 1 eye the guy is fucking though.
Indeed, indeed. What a true tough guy.
Mike Bizbane, Sorry if I missed spelling of the last name.
That's why I call him "Left Hook Larry"! With RESPECT ALWAYS.
The true BMF
And he almost beat GSP with ONE EYE. Absolute LEGEND.
I think you underplay how having 1 eye and still fighting on and winning the title is just an incredible, albeit foolish, accomplishment.
And nobody knew about the eye otherwise his career would have been over. He hid it from the UFC, doctors, everyone apart from his own personal doctor.
A fuckin men brother he could be considered the goat for this reason alone plus fighting juiced up competition.
@@chrisjanuary6018 yeah he gets a lot of slack, i’ve heard people say he was the weakest champion in UFC history, he was a legend and in such a bad state when he fought GSP, broken ribs and one eye, imagine his performance without those injuries
I think the eye injury is vastly overstated. Bisping could still see out of his right eye, just not very clearly. He got his right eye replaced with an optic lens (not an egg for an eyeball) after he retired and before that trained himself to fight with his remaining vision. While it is commendable he kept fighting like that and had success, it doesn't quite make him the handicapped badass champion his fans make him out to be. Plus he keeps changing his story as to how he got the eye injury, first it was initially the result of a training injury, then it was the result of fighting juiceheads as part of his anti-PED crusade. Fans are lapping it all up though because its a sounds good, feels good story even though its not necessarily true.
Bisping gets credit nowadays because he's the one talking and writing history, and the fact he won a belt in a period of time where MMA was seeing a massive surge of fans thanks to Conor McGregor. Fans simply hopped on the bandwagon and if Bisping never won the belt, he would not be getting even a fifth of the recognition he's getting nowadays.
@@theo4014 He's called a weak champion because he refused to defend his Middleweight title against top contenders of the division which you're obliged to do as champion, and effectively held the belt hostage while never looking dominant.
His first title defence was against a 46 year old Dan Henderson who was #13 in the rankings and despite Bisping being a heavy favourite and the fact Hendo was the worst version of himself, Hendo was still able to give Bisping hell. He knocked him down twice and badly hurt him while looking competitive, Bisping managed to get the decision win albeit controversially due to a number of factors which weakened his standing as champion. If #13 ranked Hendo could give Bisping serious problems, what could the top contenders Jacare Souza, Gegard Mousasi, Yoel Romero and Robert Whittaker do? It didn't look good for Bisping, yet he never even tried to defend his belt against them.
I'm still resentful he never gave Jacare Souza (the #1 contender) a chance at the belt, and its not like Jacare is a nobody either. Jacare is a fan favourite and the former Strikeforce Middleweight champion, anyone who really cared about MMA knew who Jacare was. But Bisping never fought him, thanks to the return of GSP who wanted to fight at 185.
@@madgavin7568 no one cares Owen you loser😂Jesus christ wrote all that for nothing
Did he really rack up those wins with just one eye? He's gotta be one hell of a fighter, and a wise one at that to determine distance and cover blind spots
He did it all with one eye
Ya he’s poped it out a few times now that it doesn’t need to be hidden. Pure empty socet
I wouldn't call it wise to get in a ring with professional fighters with just one eye when doing so already cost you the other one. You only get two, and if you lose them both.....
@@zalamael To be fair he lost it getting headkicked by someone on steroids, wasn't a fair fight. But yeah totally agree, I would never take that kind of risk ever again if the outcome could be complete blindness :/
@@RichardVSmall and that's why you will never be the world champion. Me neither, I'm not talking shit. Just agreeing that Bisping is a beast
Man... This guy regularly put his life on the line with a single eye in his head.
He's outside any ranking, he's 'fantasy' badass and willing to fight.
Dislike his personality all you want, no-one can deny he's a legend. I used to hate the guy but goddamn do I respect him.
Invisible Babyface I admire your honesty.
Not a legend he was never that good
@@solosolo8610 Legend=/= one of the best
Sakis Papad hes not tho he ran from everybody and was a gate keeper most his career
Solo Solo your in every comment saying Bisping is good. Pathetic loser😂
I give him a 10/10
Idc what people say
Man had injured ribs and knees
Amd had only 1 eye
With which he beat steroidheads.
Never tested positive
Beat Silva in his prime (while his oher eye was 79% shut, so he was practically blind..
In my eyes he's the true bmf!
He did NOT beat Silva in his prime. Anderson Silva was coming off a KO losee, leg break and NC due to PEDs.
"Beat Silva in his PRIME" lmao 😭
Silva wasnt in his prime lmao, after his leg break he was never the same, plus it’s debatable if michael even won
Silva wasn’t in his prime and he should’ve been given the win after he KO’ed Michael
Everyone beat steroid heads. Yeah him and Izzy costa and even many nfl players and track athletes never test positive. Silva was also like 41, 42?That’s not prime
I was starting to lose interest in UFC and MMA before I found this channel and it has really given it a renewal in my mind. Makes me want to go back and watch some of these classic fights and legendary careers.
That is worth going over. I haven't followed up on the latest. Nothing to watch, especially when women are so juiced they look like dudes.
"How good was Kiyon Kimura really?" 🤔
But in all seriousness, you mentioned you train, I would love to hear you talk about your background a bit. You have an excellent style of breakdown and I love your content, you should do a little peak behind the curtain 🤘
Be does he train in real estate? That's the real question.
Been waiting for this one, guy got screwed over by TRT
Yeah but everyone is on steroids so that means everyone has fought someone on steroids
@Anes oleinik Well, to be fair, that is exactly what is going on in the US right now.
@@pkz420 his point still stands, dosent make right
@@pkz420 Yeah but it's black people doing it, so it's okay. - Modern Western Society
Straight White Male are u blind everybody is doing it. Just last night a whole bunch of white people were looting a Starbucks in la. That shit was caught on camera too lol
Week 4 of asking Kiiyon Kimura to make "How good was Dan Severn actually?"
That will be a movie with a trilogy 😂
Oh god nobody wants to see that lmao
Suda
Old UFC fans do.
How dedicated is kalli gratsos actually?
If he really does that prepare for a 4+ hour epic.
Legitimate badass he’s a straight up inspiration of heart and grit
He's one of the cleanest fighters in MMA history and a straight up savage on and off the octagon. He was fighting steroid monsters for most of his career and still managed a very good record.
Just found your channel. So underrated my man. Keep going and you’ll blow up in no time
Do Shane Carwin
That would be a good one cause he definitely beat the brakes off of Brock Lesnar in the first that could have been stopped
@@kenanlindsay4566 brock was still defending himself in the first round. It was shanes fault that he lost because he used all his gas on that round
ouuuu i never even thought ab that one that would be a good ass video
@@natedurinho - Sure, but there are like 3 different moments in the first rounds where no one would have argued had the ref called a TKO.... that's doesn't make Brock's comeback less impressive, far from it, but most refs would have stopped it in the first.
One of these fights that you just have to watch live to understand how insane that was...
How good was don Frye??
It’d be pretty cool if you started a “how good is series” where you talk about up and coming prospects
MynameSnozz would 100% watch
Check out his videos on Jiri Prochazka and Khamzat Chimaev.
How good was Cung Le actually ?
his rich franklin win was damn impressive
Tom Inman our saw that one live and bet with my friends made 200 dollars one of the best ko s ever
Jesus christ, i didnt realise he did THAT many fights with one eye. Bisping is a tough bastard, he deserves mad respect.
Who else can say they've beat Anderson Silva, KO'd Rockhold and became a world champ.....all with just one eye! Madness
He went up against the greats of MMA and held his own! And one of the best trask talkers in the game
ufc should hire you for some journalism! youre very talented and your videos are genuinely interesting. Keep doing what you doing man!!!
Please do dan henderson !!
Fought monsters with one eye, what a beast Bisping is
1 of my favourite fighters of all times. Best mma moment was the knockout of luke rockhold, wow just wow. Much respect to Michael Bisping, truly inspirational the way he captured the belt.
Can't ignore when there's a new Kiiyon video 🔥🔥🔥
Minstrels Davis big facts!!! I think he would be a great sports analyst
Literally screeched and stopped working to run and watch this!
My favorite one eye fighter of all time.
Dude there will never be a second favorite lol goat status
I see what u did there;)
Bisping was awesome, beat rockhold with 1 eye, what a warrior!!! Never took drugs, never turned down a fight and beat the best n the world!!!
I listen to Bisping's podcast. He absolutely hates TRT Vitor. Cost him an eye with that move.
Bispimg winning the title was crazy. Very cool how it all lined up after falling just short so many times.
The dude fought everyone while clean and with one eye he's a badass end of and he's a good northern lad to go with it
I really dont get why so much people hate Michael Bisping. He fought CHAMPIONS without taking steroids (which the majority of fighters in every division does) and WITHOUT an eye.
Bisping is a legend loved that man for years now
Yes! Thank you for doing a Bisping video. He’s been a favorite of mine since Ultimate Fighter 3
I cry happy tears watching him knock Luke Rockhold out
Every single time
luke = mma's zoolander
I actually like Luke Rockhold as a fighter that he was. But dude was so cocky and cringy af.
Mythical fighter unlocked : one eyed bisping
Day 1 of asking Kiiyon to do "How good was Dan Henderson"
keep up the great content dude!
Gotta love the count
I was always so happy when he got his title. I used to think he was a bit arrogant, until I attended a seminar with him, and he was a really top guy. At the start, we had uneven numbers so when he had us pummeling for warmup, I had no partner so he partnered with me, and he was really good at explaining techniques, and answered any questions.
Believe you me I farkin love that mad lad bisping
Great video. Ur videos are very good. Good info on fighters careers. U should also do boxers.
One of my goats no matter what anyone else says
There are still a lot of fools that say he sucked and was overrated, dude won ufc title with literally one eye
Horrible champion, top 5 worst middleweight of all time
Austin Reed top 5 worst middleweight of all time when he won the belt and beat a lot of people’s pound for pound greatest in Anderson Silva.... you are making lots of sense buddy
Austin Reed are you intoxicated?
@@austinreed347 slow down fatty, i think u would do great at heavyweight, if u could be able to make weight of course
I loved Quitters Never Win. You get so much history about all the fights mentioned here, and it just makes this video so much better!
You've probably read it yourself, if not I'd love to send you my copy!
Imagine how good he would be with two eyes.
Great seeing this channel getting some love! Glad to see you put him in the top 3 Middleweights. Awesome video!
How good was tito ortiz i know he hasn't retired yet.
The point of the series is to cover only retired fighters though
Ermac Payne very true but also what more is Tito going to add to his legacy? Really nothing at this point..
Nobody cares about tito xd
@@kale1323 getting KOed by Mike Tyson
@@natedurinho It has covered fighters that are not officially retired like Luke Rockhold
Seeing your videos gives such a good unbiased history of the fighters. Keep it up bro!
All this with one eye I mean cmon he should be in the goat discussion
Dude,
Great breakdown.
I really hope your channel explodes and you get noticed.
You ha e a remarkable knowledge base of so many different fighters.
Matt Hughes NEXXXXXTTT
He was great against Silva and then his title win. Those 2 fights made "The Count" Legendary.
I would love to see how good was Dan Henderson!
You made this on my birthday. Thanks for the present
Cruz, Bisping, Ferguson - my favourite fighters!
How hard was it for you seeing 2 of them lose back to back on the same card and how exiting was it before the card(ufc 249) btw im a tony hardcore too but dont like cruz much
He’s one of my favorite fighters. Great video
Day 5 of asking for demetrious johnson
He's not retired. He's still in ONE championship. He is still an active fighter. This page's "How Good Were..." videos aren't for when they leave the UFC it's for when they retire from the sport of MMA completely.
Twatman didn’t say he was retired he done Anderson Silva when he was still a active fight he might not have been very good but still was in the ufc
Micheals elbows from the guard vs GSP were so underrated, they were Tony Ferguson level
How good was Choi Hong-man actually
I'm from Poland and Bisping is my number 1 hero in terms of following ur dreams , no matter what the circumstances are. True Champion.
Kiiyon keep up the good work with all these amazing videos
I feel the same, hated busying early on but as he got older & became the veteran under dog I couldn’t help but route for him. I now love him & am a big fan of his podcast
This channel deserves way more subscribers
Been waiting for this one a long time...
Finally! A michael bisping video appreciation!
Seeing this, the 'pillow hands' remarks are even more ridiculous. Esp after uncle Chael saying the fight vs Bisping was the hardest he's ever been hit.
They do have a point though one thing Bisping missed was power. Ofcourse he knocked out Rockhold but lot of the fights he lost he would have won if he had more power. Lot of the fights he lost he was winning if it wasn't for his opponents having more power.
That's not exactly what Chael said. He said that of all the people who hit him, Bisping's punches hurt the most.
Good job on this one kiiyon.
I love this guy.
Finally! I've been waiting for a Bisping episode on this one! Huge fan of the count!
keep going, young fella! amazing, well researched content. That’s for all of your vids👍
Didn’t know he actually had it removed then at that time, wow
He was good
great video, very well put together and Bisping is an absolute warrior.
From one of the most hated heels to an old bastard who we all rooted for. Crazy how many fights he had in the UFC.
These videos are awesome, keep it up!
I didnt know Mike fought that many times with one eye....I respect him a lot. He was highly entertaining and did it the right way. He's hilarious too. He was really good I think....
Dude got belt with only one eye, this is something that deserves all the respect
Loving the quarantine hair style Kiiyon!
Not even mad about the ads, I want Kiyon to get that bag
I've watched The Count since he was on the Ultimate Fighter. I had mixed feelings for him, however as time went by, I had no choice but to respect him for his insane toughness. He can really talk his butt off and fight to back up every word. He has my respect and I give full props to this man.
Great rating, Great video, and he absolutely had a great Career! Your killing these videos by the way brother! 💪🏼
ooohhhh been waiting for this one
He knew how to sell a fight and how to back it up. Never pissed hot,never gave up, easily one of the hardest working fighters to ever strap on a pair of gloves, and of course accomplished his dream with only one eye. One of my favorite fighters of all time and an absolute legend.
really good videos mate, keep up
I just rewatched the Silva fight. Such a good showing by Bisping. Nothing was stopping him from winning that night
What a ride he took me and us on. At first we watched because we hated him. Then we watched because he started to grow on us. Finally we watched because we loved him.
This was really well done
The Silva win was actually unanimous, great video though love your content keep it up!
Was not a split decision with Silva. It was unanimous 48-47. I thought he deserved it on volume, and AS was too casual, so sure was he of getting a KO. It never came and Bisping clearly won. I am no Bisping fan, even as a Brit. His relentless lack of sportsmanship bothers me. But without doubt hats off for a phenomenal career from a genuine hall of famer.
great video and accurate analysis
Great video as always bro!! Please think on doing one about Jason Mayhem Miller
You’ve had more hairstyle changes in a few videos than I have in my entire life 😂 jokes aside love the content man 👍👌
Awesome video bro!! Could you do Rich Franklin next??
Hey Kiiyon, have you heard uncle chael speaking about who hit him hardest? He mentioned Bisping because of the specific power he possessed - saying something along the line of - every shot bisping throws just hurts you. as always quality video mate
