Michael Bisping suffers ‘painful’ toe injury at UFC Fight Night 72

When it comes to gnarly toe injuries, Jon Jones‘ UFC 159 masterpiece still takes the cake. But Michael Bisping came away with a weird one of his own at UFC Fight Night 72.

“The skin at the bottom of my toe came off, I think at the end of the first or at some point in the second round,” Bisping said at Saturday’s post-fight press conference. “Just an annoying injury, basically. Every step that I took was painful, but you know, what are you going to do?”

But really. Bisping’s toe. Looks like someone took a cheese shredder to the bottom of his toe and sliced it. pic.twitter.com/0F23J7jweo

It may not have been pretty, but in the end Bisping’s toe bacon mattered little. The 36-year-old persevered to capture a hard-fought split decision over Thales Leites in UFC Fight Night 72’s main event, pushing his newfound win streak to two straight.
