A trailblazer in mixed martial arts, Michael Bisping made history as the first British fighter to win a UFC title. Known for his unmatched grit and tactical mastery, he rose through the sport to become a world-class middleweight champion.
Did you know?
Before finding success in martial arts, Bisping worked numerous strenuous jobs, including a slaughterman, a laborer, and a tiler, which he credits for his fierce drive to succeed and never look back.
He won his Middleweight title on just 17 days' notice at UFC 199, stepping in for an injured fighter to defeat rival Luke Rockhold by first-round knockout.
He was the first fighter from the United Kingdom to win a UFC championship and was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2019.
