Michael Bisping
“The Count” Michael Bisping has always been one of the funniest personalities on the UFC roster. The fighter getting pranked and still being a sport about it is the reason why he’s an absolute fan favorite.
Michael Bisping, the former middleweight champion is arguably the toughest fighter ever in UFC history. The fighter from the UK lost his eye and went on to still become the champion of the middleweight division with a title defense under his belt. Following his retirement, the fighter began transitioning into a UFC analyst and was also on the broadcast shows.
At UFC Tonight on FOX Sports 1 program that aired back in 2018 during the pay-per-view event UFC 230, Michael Bisping’s crew scared the “sh*t” out of him on live television. The broadcast team made sure they arranged for a costumed scarecrow to jump out of nowhere as Bisping was working which led to the fighter jumping out of his seat and screaming for his life.
Bisping admitted he got caught by his crew and joked, “Do I have to break someone’s jaw around here to get a little respect?” The fighter was a great sport about it and also went on to post the clip on his Instagram profile. “Safe to say I nearly sh*t my pants!!!!” wrote Bisping with a lot of exclamation.
Michael Bisping’s amazing run in the UFC as a fighter
Michael “The Count” Bisping’s career is one of the craziest in UFC history. The fighter fought in the promotion for a decade before he lay his hands on the UFC gold. On top of that, he fought most of his career with only one eye. Bisping made his debut in the UFC in 2006 and has an absolutely stacked resume.
“The Count” never backed down from a fight and was known to be a warrior inside the octagon. In 2013, the fighter faced Vitor Belfort in the octagon when he lost his sight during the fight. The fighter had to go through several tests to make sure he passed the test to continue fighting in the octagon. When most fighters would have sought a different career path, Bisping stuck with fighting and fulfilled his dream.

All of Bisping’s hard work paid off finally at UFC 199 when he accepted a short-notice title fight against Luke Rockhold against whom he had already lost in the octagon. Bisping amazingly knocked the champ out and became the first-ever champion from Britain. He then went on to defend his title once before he lost his belt to the great Georges St Pierre in 2017. One fight later, Bisping announced his retirement.
