Michael Bisping, a pioneer for UK MMA, joined the legendary duo of Daniel Cormier and Jon Anik at UFC 271. However, his outing didn’t go too smoothly as many fans pointed out the bias in Bisping’s PPV event commentary. However, ‘The Count’ clarified that he did his best and called the fights as he saw.
Lots of people saying I has biased commentary. That’s crazy. I called it like I saw it. Big opening round for Izzy. Then real close rounds after that, but I had Izzy winning most. 5 was robs best round. 2 probably went to him also. Close fight, very technical, well done to both!
