Michael Bisping experienced a little bit of karma in his bout with Jason “Mayhem” Miller.
Bisping, in his last bout, kneed Jorge Rivera in the head while Rivera was clearly down and showed no remorse for his actions afterward. It was clear that Bisping did it intentionally as he took the time to wind up and pick his shot.
Against Miller, Bisping received an incidental headbutt along with an accidental eye poke as well.
After the two fouls occurred, Bisping made a clear indication to the referee as to what had happened. His yell about the headbutt was loud enough to be heard on a regular audio feed from one of the cageside cameras.
Maybe Bisping didn’t learn the same set of rules from the playground “across the pond,” but maybe someone should educate him.
For anyone who’s ever played basketball at your local YMCA or neighborhood courts, everyone knows just because you can call your own fouls, doesn’t mean you do.
Bisping seemed to even forget the rules himself as “Mayhem” jokingly asked for Bisping to attempt to knee him in the head while on the ground and Bisping took a head kick at the downed opponent instead.
If Bisping is going to clearly ignore the rules, then don’t be the loudest person in a fight to complain about something that is completely accidental.
He doesn’t have that many fans to begin with and his current attitude of only acknowledging the rules when it benefits him are likely to keep fans from backing him.
