Follow Us
Former middleweight champion Michael Bisping has signed a four-year contract with the UFC as a commentator. One of the most beloved fighters to have fought in the UFC, Michael Bisping has always had an outspoken and witty personality. And although these attributes mattered little inside the cage, they certainly translate well enough to his new profession of commentating.
Bisping chose to hang his gloves up back in 2017 after a devastating knockout loss against then surging middleweight Kelvin Gastelum. This decision couldn’t have come at a better time considering his terrible eye injury and an apparent decline in skill.
While many fighters have a tough time moving on from fighting, Michael Bisping has had one of the most seamless transitions to his most recent endeavor. At first, Bisping began working as a desk analyst with the UFC soon after his retirement. Thanks to his vast knowledge of the sport, Bisping brings a fresh perspective to analyzing fights.
