      I got to work with him a few times for his Brian Stann camp. He was still playing the heel role a bit and liked to tease and fuck with people, but he was always laughing and always supportive when it mattered. I was a fan of his ever since and screamed at the top of my lungs when he knocked out cockhold.

Then find out he was fighting with one eye after he retired. Fucking legend!!!! Bisping is on the Mount Rushmore of MMA.

    The true Cinderella man. He was once known to be the best fighter to never fight for a belt. His one chance at the end of his career with all the odds stacked against him he won. Also him jumping on the cage looking at Luke in a pile on the ground and yells "Fuck you" before screaming at the crown is the best mma celebration of all time and that moment alone should be in the hall of fame.

    Major respect to Bisping.
    I think if he fought still today. Him Vs Strickland would be a dream match but these guys just entered the sport at completely different times.

    My kid surprised me for my 55th with tickets for 'Tales of the Octagon 2'.... I had a great night, Craig's backflip, and Tom's fake entrance, being the highlights of the evening. Bisping is an impressive man, whose self-deprecation is the key to his charm. He's got a great Northern heart.
