Bisping is always talking about all of his surgeries, knees, neck, etc. and he lost an eye and told no one he just kept fighting. He gave everything to fighting. His career aged like fine wine.
Hell aye.. that eye would have forced a career stop I think
@@bongoking5850 Bisping has told the stories about having to fake his way through eye tests with the fight doctors to make sure he can still keep fighting cause he had a family to support. Dude is a savage.
Winning the title with one eye is absolutely incredible.
He definitely had one of the best character arcs ever.
Aged very well I agree
Jeeez Michaels eye looked bad in that interview
And they still couldn’t determine he was blind 💀
This must’ve been shortly after his fight with Vitor Belfort
Yea roughly 18 months after the Belfort fight, just checked.
To destroy competition or go undefeated is one thing, but to take some hard losses, change weight classes, lose an eye, and come back to become middleweight champion is a monumental accomplishment. I was never a huge Bisping fan, but after his career I am a lifetime supporter. I remember laughing when Henderson KO'd him, but now understand the true heart and determination behind Bisping. Serious legend.
Agree on everything. I did not understand or appreciate Bisping in the early days. Only now can I appreciate him. Much like society and Mike Tyson right now.
@@jordanbabcock9349 Yeah good point. Bisping was a superficial villain though, probably always a good guy. Tyson had some rough years and spent prison time. I really like Mike, but he did get convicted at one point.
With respects because I ain't being a dick with you but I have noticed that most of the people who either didn't like him or was a bit mehh towards him were people either from the states or people from other countries, and that's fair enough because a lot of us British think that a lot of US as well as other nations fighter's are tossers or we are a bit mehh towards them, Brock Lesnar, Frank Mir, and Tito Ortiz were all for want of a better explanation......tossers. Those three I just mentioned had serious chip's on their shoulders but hey I'm just saying and after all its not a conflict between us I'm just saying that a lot of people who didn't like MB was from a totally different country altogether. That knock out from Hendo that was some serious knock out man ffs he even got a follow up of a full bodyweight smash down into his boat race. I stayed up to watch that I was devastated when it didn't go to plan for Bisping but hey that's the sport, and at the end of the day you gotta know that it takes an extra special athlete to go a whole career undefeated, well......that and a good load of other factors like the best regimen and training, the best diet that works for you, a good trainer and a good camp, and you gotta be prepared to go all the way balls deep and give it your all because once that cage door shuts your mom ain't coming for you your on your own and you are fighting for a lot more than just a purse. Micheal Bisping was a true warrior he did more for the sport in the UK than people sometimes mention. Beat Anderson Silva and had some epic battles, UFC hall of famer, was straight up and said what he thought, and he's a family man and a gentleman too what more can a fighter achieve in the octagon? Anyway respect m8.
Well said boys. Jordan Babcock. I like that. At the end of the day, he tried to make the fights interesting. You know him now and give him praise. He's what we say in England is a sound guy. He'd have your back in a bar.
@@leewilliams1987 😂
Le was 42 at this point. It's amazing that he beat Franklin. His earlier career in kickboxing was incredible.
Take a look at the guy though. No disrespect intended to folks from Vietnam, but they just don’t tend to have that sort of bulked up physique. It’s obvious that he didn’t get that big from just eating a lot of Phó.
@@rsoul7282 I don't doubt that he used, especially looking like that at 42. I am a believer that most mma fighters historically have used peds though. It's probably the cleanest that it's ever been today.
He was 42 and on steroids
@@brocksimmons345 I had his physique in 11th grade and I'm Cambodian... If he was on steroids his body should be more ripped...
@@Saint_Jerome 1:04 You looked like this at 15 years old? 😂 Dont make me laugh
Man him and Mark Hunt 🤦🏾♂️ they were fed enhanced fighters damn near they whole career. Look what it cost Mike, he reminds me of the 20s-30s boxers. Loves to fight to the point he’ll literally give us parts of his body
both Bisping and Hunt were on streoids
@@MuhammadAli-kg7ij that’s a really odd way of telling us your parents are siblings #Inbred
@@peanutbutterpirate314 ıt's impossible for my parents to be siblings because my mother is from another country, I never met with her, dad doesn't like to talk about her much, but he told me I have a brother who uses the username Peanut Butter on UA-cam, I hope one day I meet with my little bro
@@MuhammadAli-kg7ij Nobody actually cares. He was just making the point that you must be inbred to be so stupid as to suggest that Bisping and Hunt were on Steroids.
Hunt fought in Pride…nuff said
I remember watching this fight and thinking to myself why was this arena so dark. This was a very impressive performance
the dark arena makes the contrast amazing. i like it
I loved the look of this arena, I wish we'd see more lighting like this from time to time.
The lighting on the whittaker vs tavares fight was amazing too
Good lighting enjoyers have checked in
It was dark because light isn't as bright in Macao
It's amazing no one knew he lost an eye. Even there you can tell blatantly. Props to him though doing all what he did with 1 eye FFS . True champ
I was a huge strikeforce fan and was a super big Bisping hater at this time and thought Cung was gonna destroy Bisping 🤣🤣🤣 boy was I wrong , Bispings late career run to the title was legendary and truly inspiring to never give up hope on your dream
Why? Cung was rubbish lol.
Why Bisping he just says what he thinks i always respected him for that. I have an unpopular opinion in fact Bisping is the best trash talker ever
Same
@@sukhdevr3489 Yeah he was losing until he won by vicious KO. What an idiotic comment. Kung Le was one of the best strikers in the sport.
@@mr.brenman2132 He just wasn't. He lost to Bisping and Wanderlei. If he was as good as you said then he wouldn't have lost to them.
Bisping was always such a crisp boxer it's beautiful to watch him
The combo that ended the fight clean af.
Vicious
... to look back and now know ... he did this with all his injuries ... plus the loss of the eyes.
WOW. Mr Bisping so much respect
Le was 42 in the fight, and Bisping was his prime at that time. That was too tough for Le!
Bisping also had you know..ONE EYE
and Le was juiced
Yeah its tough when you don't have steroids 🤣
@@filthydan6159 Le was definitely on roids. Don't think Bisping ever tested positive for PEDs.
@@lfo784 yeah that's what i meant
Lol! Cung Le was 42 and Michael Bisping was 27. Cung Le was well past his prime when he joined UFC.
and he wasn't "enhanced". The title was misleading. Cung Le's PED finding was later proved to be a scam
he was also on roids
not 27 33 i think for bsping
Still Bisping only had one eye lol
Bisping was 35 not 27 dip stick
Not only beat a guy who was on HGH, but did it with one eye. Bet he's glad he never had to fight in New York or California more often as his career wouldn't have been possible with the lack of vision Bisping had.
His second to last fight was in New York against GSP. He was cheating the tests apparently by memorising the letters on the test and had his team helping him too.
It's funny when you look at older clips of him, like in this video when he was fighting Cung Lee and you look at that eye ... and you wonder how the hell he got away with it.
@@P.Convenience UFC fighters and fighters in general are made from different stuff. But then people like Bisping take it to the next level.
So sick of hearing about Bispings eye
@@JohnSmith-yd5wq Probably best not going on a Bisping video then really.
In that interview at the start, Michael Bisping definitely has the best haircut in the UFC right there. They should give him another spot in the hall of fame for that
Le was a phenomenon years back in the ring....
Cung lee was 43 years old but ok we let it slide
That arena with lower lighting makes it look like a fight from some local independent MMA promotions. Lol.
A very well edited highlight reel capturing the best of each round . Great job !
I was a typical Bisping hater at this point in time, and thought Cung Lee would knock him out in some crazy fashion. The Bisping mauled him, then knocked out Rockhold and beat Anderson Silva. So it really puts his whole career in a different light. If he never fought anybody who was a cheater, he might be undefeated.
if UFC never had that cheater's era. Bisping will definitely get that belt by around 2010-2012. I think Anderson without roids is still a damn good fighter but his reign of terror will fall short because MW was very stacked back then.
@@eetfuk3571ur talking as if Silva was the only one doping in that era in MW
@@austinsavage of course not. but not everyone doped in that era at MW division.
Gsp didn’t cheat did he?
@@Joe-ev9ci GSP has an excuse. He's a GOAT. He didn't have to cheat
And the man did it with one eye.
Almost heard the Ghostemane - Venom in my ears
Im glad I wasn't the only one! So many fantastic MMA channels to watch these days
This was a great showing by Bisping. You could tell in the interview his eye was fucked. And I never realized until now that the lighting in the octagon was weird. Lots of shadows.
Michael Bisping - All Time Cardio and Heart, incredible well rounded skill set. Clean Tests.
In my opinion Cung Le should have been either lightweight or a welterweight fight not a middleweight. Cung Le like Frankie Edgar wanted to fight at his walking weight as Cung weighted 187lbs off camp & had to cut only 1lbs to make the middleweight limit.
yea shorter folks cant really be a mw or higher. but ww who knows how much success he would have had
@@JohnSmith-xc1nk Cung Le would be great at Welterweight. As a middleweight Cung always struggled against opponents who are above 6 feet
@@VladimirMiyazaki Sure didn't see many spinning back fists landing. Doubt Bisping even felt the breeze from that distance.
Michael will always be a legend of the sport for as long as it lasts. In 200 years if the ufc is still a thing and people are still fighting, they will never forget the one eyed warrior.
People will remember when he got his ass whooped by Matt Hamill but they were fighting in London so the judge just give it to Michael.
@@markchapman2585 bro stop being racist against british people
@@markchapman2585 Cry some more bro 😂🤣
😂
@Phon Seng I agree 100%. I’m Native American more than white, but I feel the struggle my other side of the family goes through. EVERYONE hates white people. Even white people.
Bisping man what a guy, what an athlete, what a true warrior. He is the type of athlete/warrior that makes me proud to be an englishman. Micheal Bisping did more for UK MMA than people sometimes recognise. He had a bad eye problem and was truly impaired after losing it from the Rockhold fight I believe it was and he still went out there into the true testing ground and he still owned most of his battles. That Dan Henderson fight that was some serious hardcore knock out man and another full weight of body smash straight into Bispings boat race and he still came back into that Octagon and impressed people, bold as brass and a gentleman champion, and at least he was straight up and spoke his mind. UFC Hall of Famer too what more can a fighter do to be known he's a true champion. Another fight that was epic was the Anderson Silva fight that was some cool fight that was, Bisping was put on his arse at least once in that fight and he still came through strong. Great fighter great guy he deserves his respect.
Well played.
Been wanting to re-watch this, he's(Bisping) mentioned it on his YT-channel a couple of times as one of his favorite performances. He has a version of this fight on there, but it's so poorly edited.. I would've preferred the full fight, but I'll take this, thanks :)
Bisping’s hand speed and accuracy with one eye. My fuck.
No one was complaining when Bisping fought 42 year olds..
Is this Jake Paul?
@@Percules15 yep. Jake with them alt accounts. Lol
Cung Lee came off some impressive perfornmances before the fight with bisping.. He wasnt quite done yet.. but i guess the beating from Bisping changed that.
@@sirmonkey3215 cung hasn't fought in 2 years ..not sure why he came back..he was well past it at 42
One Eyed first English champ , he ll never get enough credit. Imagine if khabib or McGregor had lost an eye and won a title FUCK, HYSTERIA
Bisping pace is just crazy!! 🔥
Bisping was a total Machine here ... tough seeing cung lee taking all those hits...
Bisping moved more like Cung Le than Cung Le in this fight
Wow DC and Bispeng were so awesome in their primes.
Great performance. Bisping was a relentless cardio machine in his prime.
Bisping has said this is his second favorite fight other than the Silva one. While people are going to trash Cung Le for PED usage, most people were during that time, so many fans gave these fighters a pass. What is worth noting is Cung Le is one of the handful of fighters who are currently in a lawsuit with the UFC that will change the sport and improve fighter rights.
Bisbing punches like he’s in a dream
lol , @3.08 , the poke in the eyes ,thats one dirty move , one eye bisping , caught you in the act
Bisping was a machine, very underrated and must have fought the most juiced fighters in ufc
Bisping looked so good this fight, plenty of kicks, good footwork, nice variety of punches aswell.
"REF NO FAIR, THAT SON OF AH B**CH POKED ME IN THE EYE, I CAN'T SEE"
- guy on performance enhancers fighting a one eyed man
I remember watching this fight and thinking to myself "why is this arena so dark?". This was a very impressive performance by Bisping.
Le: my eye!
Bisping: you'll get use to it mate.
Had no idea these two fought, legendary!
Would of been better if somehow we hade a time machine which allowed us to have fighters in their prime. Would of been an truly amazing spectacular.
Bisping is one scary dude.
Michael Bisping is the epitome of a pure warrior spirit.
yea right dude is a joke just like you
“If you are doing anything, we’re gonna catch you”
….yea right…….
“I’m not a math teacher”
Why he gotta do Rich Franklin like that😅
I'm still baffled why athletes make photos of themselves available to the public, while they are in obvious 'enhanced' form. Pretty much the same as a selfie at a crime scene.
cung le got SCHOOLED! love it with Michael Bisping humbled this CLOWN!
Facts
Taught Le some effective kicking skills.
One eye Absolutely insane man OG MB
0:39 Bisping's fake eye looked so obvious. how did no one see that?🤔
Count Bisping, UFC legend.
There are few athletes who have a great performance after the age of 40
Manny!!! PACMAN!!! Pacquiao!!! Bernard Hopkins.
This was at a time when Cung Le was one of the most dangerous fighters in the Middle Weight Division.
bruh..cung le barely fought he was doing movies plus he was 42
No he wasnt? Cung lee was old as hell in this fight lol
@@devilkazumi578 He was doing movies... LOL should of retired. All due respect
Le was about 42 & past his prime, still fun to watch.
Bisping was 35 with one functioning eye. 🤷♂️
@@Nostromo_TK Did he already lose an eye at this match?
@@memebro3181 Yeah, this is roughly 18 months after the TRT Victor head kick.
@@Nostromo_TK he was still younger...u can't beat time....hendo destroy bisping at 38 ...bisping beat him when he was 46
That was good from Bisping, left something on him in every exchange, usually a kick to the head.
Michael does the Biz, as per. Top man.
Dana White wasn't interested in catching Juice Lesnar when he fought Mark Hunt.
'Hope you can enjoy the victory with one friggin eye!' -Jim Carrey
Fighting with one eye is mind blowing much less dominating like Bisping did. Fucking incredible!!!!
Wow, BIsping was phenomenal.
he wa good at beating 40 plus.....hendo destroy him but he was 46 when bisping beat him...anderson was 41....cung 42...father time beat those guys not bisping
Bidding was a young , dirty fighter who fouled many fighters .cung le was 42 and that was a retired age
bisping is the real badass,imagine how can you fight with one eye? man he’s real fighter,now he became great commentator as well,damn michael,have a great life ❤
Cung Le is a badass name for a fighter
0:37 looking like a dapper cyborg.
I always liked Cung Le - but he was swimming in deep waters here - and Bisping was a Bull Shark !!
"If you are doing anything we are going to catch you"
Brock Lesnar laughing all the way too the bank.
+ UFC owners.
Toughest man to ever enter the cage
Cung le 42 took a risk at 42 ! Bisbing just wasted NO time with his attacks as Cung had No chance to defend himself much!
Cung Le looked like he's been eating fries for conditioning...
Well he wasn't lying I'd say that's probably a career highlight for him he's never been a huge power guy but he's always been good at technical boxing good at finding the openings.
How could they not tell something was wrong w his eye it looked fucked in the interview
It's debatable if Cung Le even took HGH. The lab that did the sampling wasn't WADA-approved, did not do the appropriate HGH test, and destroyed his blood sample before confirmatory tests could be done. Of course this doesn't gas up Bisping and make winning a fight against a 42 year old fighter coming off of two year hiatus from the sport some great achievement so this will probably go completely ignored.
@@fenmiao3bi4zheng Just because you say so doesn't make it so.
Big respect to both fighters. I have always liked Bisping for his down to Earth approach and his honesty . 👍
Absolute animal fought how many fights with one eye deserved champion
Side note, fuck the Reebok deal man I loved this era in UFC when the fighters had sponsors on their shorts, it made each fighter so much more unique and creative
I had forgot all about this fight. He picked him apart the entire time.
Cung lee: I can't see outta my eye
Bisping: The we are even
Two legends
King of the underdogs, The count
Cungs face had all the rounds etched on it, Bispin with one only eye, looked fresh and relatively unmarked, great fight.
Holy hell that glass eye is so obvious when you look at it now
Always heard from people that met Cung Le was an asshole. Great to see Bisping put him in his place.
Bisping turned my boy's face into chop suey.
Should really make a film about Michael Bisping title run, no one would believe it. One eye fighter
Yh his eye looked like a catorax..so destroyed a legend on gear with 1 eye..he deserves a lot more credit then even what he actually gets..#builtdifferent
when Bisping yelled "im the best kicker in the ufc baby" at the commentating booth
Not the Cung Le we use to know.
You can clearly see Cung was on PEDs but that backfired as he bulked too much and his timing was off from lack of speed. Shows technique beats aggression even if opponent is on juice, Vitor was something different though much more lethal than Cung with his speed
PEDs or not Cung Le was also in his 40’s in this fight, so there’s that too.
Bisping with age and at his tail end couldn’t do much with technique when a shorter stubby Mexican guy came forward and KO’d him. It’s been awhile since I watched that fight, but that’s how I recall it.
Damn-that-eye!
Cung Le got his ass kick bad!
Bisping when he saw Cung Le wincing
“it’s a fair fight now buddy.”
Seeing his first prosthetic eye, it’s absolutely amazing no one noticed I how strange it was. It wasn’t even the same color lol
Cung lee imitates bisping by getting a fucked up eye, bisping imitates lee by throwing spinning shit
My, how times have changed lol.
He said im not math teacher im a fighter, poor rich franklin man was a beast in and out of the classroom 😂
How bisping won the fight by blinding his opponent with a eye poke
Hate him or love him, Mike is a goddamn BEAST!
My favorite Bisping fight was at UFC100
Cung le wasn't ready for MMA he uses his old wushu tricks which have all been utilized by bisping and his team in that particular fight. I would say that if Cung le was more of a versatile fighter that is willing to adapt more ground skills and western boxing into his game he would have been a very dangerous opponent.
cung was 42 ....if he was younger bisping getting KO or arm broke
