    Bisping was one of the most underrated middleweight of his time. He was a champion at two weight classes in other organisations. He would climb the UFC rankings and would always lose title eliminators to guys that would later pop for P.E.D.
    Usada came in a not long after, Bisping took the belt. He sacrificed a lot, worked hard, lost an eye, and won the belt the hard way.

    15 years ago today, what a story. Is there anyone else that has endured and overcome and then continues to achieve as much? I thought he was a cocky shit back then, but he's one of the most beloved MMA guys now. If you haven't checked out The Counts RUclips content, you're missing out.
    This was a tough first fight on a big stage for a striker. Eric thought he could just smother him and was all over him for a short bit. But Michael was more well-rounded than I think most people realize, even back then.
    All of you talking about the fence grab, you know why it happens every fight? Because it's almost impossible to not grab the fence. It's not a deliberate choice, you just instinctually do it. The body doesn't want to just fall over, and it's the most natural thing in the world to pull yourself up. Now imagine someone is trying to hit you, kick you, on top of you, and you've just been on the ground. This is a fight or flight situation, you're on auto. There's a big difference between cheating and this, a fence grab is more understandable than a groin strike or eye poke, those often aren't instinctual reactions.
