I started off hating Michael Bisping but I ended up loving him toward the end with the way he fought. Dude is a BMF
Bisping was my absolute most hated fighter. Then when Luke was being a total dbag to him and showed him left hook Larry, I was forever different.
I think we all started off hating him at one point lol
Michael Bisping also hates his former personality, there are videos of him cringing out of embarrassment by watching his former interviews and press conferences
I definitely hated him in the beginning. If you would've told me back then that I'd end up liking him I would've laughed. But he's more than earned my respect now.
Certified BMF
True Champion. With 1 eye he won and defended the World Title. Pure Savage. How anyone can hate this guy ill never understand.
Perhaps if you were watching the sport during the first few years of hs UFC career, during TUF etc, you'd understand why.
Bisping da goat! But he lost to Dan and Silva in bad uk dec
nobody hates bisping anymore though, but back then it was because he was kind of a dick.
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.
@@headyhead3874bisping never lost in the UK
This is easily one of the best episodes of this series. The fact they left out the conceive believe achieve line makes me sad 😢
😂😂😂
It sure is. Jusr like the Namajunas episode.
They need to do a Nick and Nate Diaz one for each! Those guys really were superstars for yrs before they ever got any credit for it! And the way Nate always cheered on Nick and kept him in that Octagon just by shouting him out after every fight win or lose. I really would love to hangout with those two…
Still holds the record for most wins in the Middleweight division. Did his most impressive work with one eye. What a legend!
To be fair he also has the most fights. Not that it isn't still impressive though.
@@SpyroTek His wins vs losses is still very good, sadly most of his losses were vs juiced guys. He lost to 2-3 guys who never got clocked for steroids, everyone else were cheats. You take that juice away... well that's kinda what happen as soon as it got harder to juice, suddenly bisping became his best.
@@rungeon83 Not only that but he was permanently injured due to a juiced up vitor. I always laugh, when USADA entered, the whole top ten in every division changed.
@@TheSickjitsYeah! It’s fkn crazy! But just look Bisbing wouldn’t have been champ if not for USADA I don’t think unless he got on the juice too! Which he wouldn’t! Just crazy…! But the best part is all those cheats will pay dearly later in life for sure! Their later yrs are really gonna suck because of that juice!! Fighting doesn’t help but the juice really fks you up for life once you’ve taken it enough!
This is best episode of this series. Majority of us hated him from TUF, watched his 10 year journey to murder a loud mouth samurai, turned babyface, cheered for him on his last fights going out on his shield. Then find out he was fighting with one eye after he retired. Fucking legend!!!! Bisping is on the Mount Rushmore of MMA.
I’ve watched a lot of these year of the fighters videos, but Michael Bisping’s story, as well as his documentaries are the only ones that make a grown ass man hold back a tear or two Ong 💯 👊
I'd be more embarrassed about a grown ass man saying "ong 💯👊"
Can’t admit if you cry but openly say Ong 💯 👊
LOL @ the first two replies to this. Exactly what I was thinking. Surely a 10 year old has to have written this impersonating a 'grown ass man' ONG 💯👊
Abt to make a teen cry with a "grown ass man" saying "Ong💯👊"
DC's aswell
Michael Bisping!! What a career 👏
If you'd have told me the old Bisping would become an analyst, a KZheadr and a guy who reads out 20 minute ads I would have never believed you. A storied career that's far from finished. 🇬🇧🦁
would love for you to explain.@@Muskeln-kaufende
@@Muskeln-kaufendeyet still accomplished more than you ever will
"I'm here today to talk about CHOQ/better health"
@@Muskeln-kaufende No he's not lmao. I worked with him a few times in his Brian Stann camp. He acted exactly the same way but just a little bit nicer and more supportive. He's a good dude.
It was so awesome to see Bisping win the belt!!!
A great man, a great champion, and a true Warrior.
Trash champion. Did the one thing champs aren’t supposed to do. That is duck top contenders
Bisping is an absolute legend.
I love this man. What a great father, fighter, and teacher...he has taught me many things watching his journey. Cheers to you mate!
Bisping is a good damn man
im from the north of England and bisping is legitimately the biggest hero of my life. A true inspiration
One of my favorite fighters to ever live! What a way to start the New Year, and what a career Michael "One-Eyed Count" Bisping had.
I grew up watching Bisping. Not the most complete MMArtist but always came in shape, ready to brawl and had an unbreakable will to win. Long Live The Count
Michael Bisping will forever be one of my favorites. Amazing he did this at the highest level with one eye.
Relentless. Never back down to a fight, lost to top fighters on roids. Was not the best at anything but very good at everything. Gigantic heart. Props to The Count.
Still one of the greatest stories in MMA history. It should never be forgotten
Micheal bisping is truly an amazing human and a pillar of strength. Absolute legend in and out of the cage
The man literally fought for a better future for his family. Even though his journey was rocky he deserves all the respect.
I’ve been watching all of these awesome episodes the last few days just hoping Bisping would have one too and here we go
What a career. Earned every bit of it. His fight hype was ALWAYS hilarious and he fought his heart out. Cant beat a cinderella story like this. One of my favourite fighters ever. Thank you!
Always loved watching Mike fight
Watching Bisping get the belt wrapped around his waist makes me so happy to see, even now. What a legend!
😂😂😂 the interview after he won the title always kills me! This has been my favorite episode so far
This series has been absolutely incredible so far. And now Michael "The Count" Bisping? Oh, I'm on it!!! I love Bisping!!!! Absolute legend!!!!
Would have rather see them do this for Anderson. What a legend he is
He's not very liked has no personality doesn't wanna speak English and just is boring man he doesn't have a fan base
The original BMF!
There’re only two fighters I literally teared up for and bisbing was one of them the night he won his title, long journey to the top through the lows of the lows and the highs of the highs you will always have a true fan of me . Love ya brotha thanks for all the inspiration and for all that you are !
Who is the second one?
I doubted my dad all my life and challenged him everytime but deep down I hoped he'd prove me wrong. And he did more often than not. Love that mofo so much!
He needs to hear this
how can you not respect this man, was never the most technical or athletic fighter in the world, but in the end became a champion through sheer determination and resilience.
In 2009 I celebrated this man’s burial at UFC 100. In 2016 I celebrated his glory in two fold! What a story! I absolutely love this fella!
This brought a tear to my eye. You’re an inspiration Bisping!! 🦅😎🐺
Bruh this shit got me tearing up, what a fucking legend
Bisping what a badass
Oh man, he's such a badass. I've got so much respect for the man he is. Got me tearing.
The family stuff at the end gave me some solid goosebumps. Great story ! You were one of my all time favourites mate. Tough as nails.
There are very few people I absolutely love seeing walk out to that octagon more than Bisping. The man is just great all around. Great fighter, hilarious personality, good on the mic, awesome commentator. I really didn’t know I would grow to like this guy the way I do. All love for The Count.
the young Bisping wasn't loved so much .But the wise and old Bisping we came to love and respect .. you go champ!!!!
Analyst of the year!
What a guy, what an inspiration, what a Champion
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.
his relationship with his wife and his family is beautiful, made me tear up a little bit
You da man Bisping Much love from Texas
Gives me chills watching him win the belt
UFC made me cry each of these
Michael Bisping is the man, undeniable!
This guy deserves all the respect for what he did and what he does for the sport,he always gives everything for the fans ,hope he stays with UFC forever
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.
2016 was a great year for me too. My first ever UFC event was Bisping Vs Silva at the O2 arena. And my first ever UFC live PPV was UFC 204 Manchester - thank you Michael. You legend 🏴
One of the best and classiest dudes.
Watched him from the start. To all the Bispings, thank you for sharing your life with us. Truely awesome in so many ways.
the bisping family is so wholesome
These videos are awesome it’s nice to see both sides of the fighter the side you see at press conferences then the side when they can be themselves
Simple pioneer of MMA in the UK you made millions love the sport thank you
The most touching part was the messages from your family, that was heart felt. You are a great champ and even better man, hats off to you for your hard work.
Absolute legend! Loved watching you fight all those years
I remember back in the day when he first came on the seen I wasn’t a fan now I love the guy ! Pure legend.
Inspiring a nation. Love you man
I love that the UFC did these episodes. Makes me feel like I know them
I still tear up when Bisping won the belt what a legend
Just wanted to say thank you to the man for sharing. His feelings for his family shine through. I hadn't seen this side of him before and it says alot about his character. Great story!
I sat glued to the screen all the way! what a lovely family and amazing story bisping. make me work even harder to provide better for my family
He is one of the great too...... love his style and his "rage" inside cage. Respect to him for what he did ! 👍👍👍👍👍. And yes Michael....you can be proud about what you did ! Support from Belgium

These series are fantastic, I really enjoy them.
Man this was one of the main contributors that got me into the sport. Thanks Mike.
CONCEIVE , BELIEVE , ACHIEVE
Bisping deserves this cos he's been such a warrior like a gladiator taking massive damages being the underdog , now he's at the top 🇬🇧🤜🤛✌️
Talk about a pioneer, what a story what a fella. England loves ya bisping
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.
Michael Bisping I have mad respect for you and your British heart of gold also your fantastic fighting skills better than the rest even with the lose if your eye, your a true worriers and a great ENGLISH MAN 💯❤️👍.
I love bisping man. His channel is my go to for mma stuff ♥️♥️
Michael Bisping has the real Cinderella story. Started out as a true villain and ended up like a true hero. Definitely one o the most charismatic and like man In UFC history.
Is went from least fav to most fav over the years and deserves every bit of it
I have so much love and respect for this man..
My favorite Fighter of All time The count has inspired me immeasurably
What an amazing journey and career Mike had.. Genuinely a top fighter who had to work probably harder than others to obtain the skill set to compete at the highest lever for over a decade and the cherry on top he did this and won the title in the hardest organisation in the world with one eye!! Love this ❤️ congrats on a hof career.
This mans determination and courage are admirable.
Man im such a huge fan of Michael Bisping so sad all these legends are alrdy retired. such a fan of his charakter and his fighting style so much endurence 1 round last round no difference.
Michael had one of the best careers in my opinon. True champion!
He got a fluke win and ducked all top contenders ? 😂 overrated
3:42 shout out to Alfie!!! May he Rest In Peace!!!
This whole series is amazing, the insights, and emotional responses of these exceptional fighters while revisiting career defining moments, makes every episode the ultimate nostalgia trip for both the subject and viewer alike. Year of the fighter showcases the humanity and character of the people who have made it to the top of a violent, high stakes sport. Good stuff!
Man how can u not love bisping he was the proper BMF What A legend❤️
so much respect for the count! a true legend
Michael you are the definition of a fighter. I love you man ❤
Love it and went through the same life as him. We went from nothing to something, obviously not fighting. I also have an Ellie and Luka. You are a true father and fighter, 10/10.
He's my favorite fighter he has heart and grit . Much love mike
I love seeing Mike get the praise he deserves he carried MMA on his back for the UK helping path the way for the Leon's, and Tom's I believe , and he certainly helped show it was possible for UK fighters with no school wrestling experience to make it from the UK.
Best one so far
How can you not love Michael Bisping. Everyone's favorite fighter
AS REAL AS ONE CAN BE STRAIGHT BLESSED TO HAVE WATCHED HIM COMPETE TRUE SPORTSMANSHIP
