The Count’ Michael Bisping, the iconic British MMA fighter has long been admired for his unrivaled cardio in the UFC. Known for his ability to outlast opponents in grueling, high-paced bouts, Bisping’s fitness was one of the cornerstones of his successful career. Now, the UFC Hall of Famer has revealed the astonishing secret behind his cardio.

Michael Bisping’s Cardio

He has a resting heart rate of just 32 beats per minute (bpm)—an incredibly low number even for elite endurance athletes. To put this into perspective, the average resting heart rate for most adults ranges between 60 and 100 bpm. Athletes, especially those in endurance sports, typically fall between 40 and 60 bpm, with elite marathon runners like Eliud Kipchoge and Mo Farah reporting a resting heart rate of 33 bpm. A heart rate of 32 bpm, as Bisping’s, is on par with the world’s best.

Michael Bisping’s legendary cardio was developed over years of relentless training. He began his martial arts journey at the age of 8, and his career in the UFC spanned 29 fights— tying him for the most appearances in UFC history. His endurance was showcased by his record-breaking cage time of over 6 hours, the second-longest in the organization’s history.

One of Bisping’s most iconic moments came at UFC 199, where he made history by becoming the first British fighter to win a UFC Championship. He achieved this feat by defeating Luke Rockhold via knockout, despite taking the fight on short notice. He successfully defended his title later that year in a five-round contest against Dan Henderson.

Bisping’s legendary fitness was the result of a holistic training approach, incorporating explosive power exercises, strength training, and high-intensity cardio sessions.

Michael Bisping: Anthony Smith Will Be ‘Embarrassed’ Watching UFC 310 Fight Back, But He Shouldn’t Retire

Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping would like to see his podcast co-host, light heavyweight contender Anthony Smith, continue his active career inside the cage.

Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping would like to see his podcast co-host, light heavyweight contender Anthony Smith, continue his active career inside the cage.

Smith’s latest outing on mixed martial arts’ biggest stage came at last weekend’s UFC 310 pay-per-view, where he competed in the featured preliminary bout opposite a fellow former title challenger in Dominick Reyes.

“Lionheart” was open during fight week about his recent struggles following the passing of a coach and friend. And the veteran was visibly emotional en route to the Octagon inside T-Mobile Arena, to the point where the commentary team questioned whether he was in the right head space to fight.

That theory only grew stronger when Smith fell by way of a long-lasting TKO stoppage at the hands of “The Devastator,” which was followed by the defeated contender admitting fans may have seen him in action for the very last time.

One prominent name who knows the 36-year-old well, however, doesn’t think that’s the case.

During a recent episode of his Believe You Me podcast, Bisping gave his reaction to Smith’s latest setback, which leaves him 1-3 across his last four bouts.

Similar to his thoughts on “Lionheart’s” defeat to Khalil Rountree a year ago, “The Count” suggested he was against Smith taking the fight in the first place. With that in mind, the Brit plans to share some advice to the light heavyweight if he chooses to make the walk again — something he’s expecting.

“I don’t think he should’ve taken that fight, at all,” Bisping said (h/t Bloody Elbow). “But I don’t think he will retire. I think when he watches that back, he’s going to be embarrassed when he watches it, and it’ll inspire him to come back. The world doesn’t deserve to remember him like that.

“Maybe it was therapeutic in some ways, but I’d like to see him fight again. … This isn’t a sport that you play, and that’s why Dana White says Chris Weidman and Clay Guida need to retire. That s*** will stay with you,” Bisping continued. “If he fights, I’m going to give him a call, and say, ‘If you do this, do it for the right reasons. Train as if you’re training for a world title fight, as if you’re going against Jon Jones. Leave no stone unturned, otherwise if you’re not willing to do that, then don’t even think about it in the first place!’”

It remains to be seen what comes next for Smith, and if UFC 310 did indeed mark a disappointing farewell.

Reyes, meanwhile, will look to continue his resurgence at 205 pounds next year. “The Devastator” has now won back-to-back fights since a knockout loss to Ryan Spann in late 2022 left him 0-3 post-fighting Jon Jones.

Former UFC Champion Points Out Huge Difference Kai Asakura Will Have To Adapt To At UFC 310

One of the most exciting elements of the UFC’s final PPV event of 2024 is the introduction of a new superstar who is going right into a main event title fight. Kai Asakura has already become a huge name in Japan through the time he has spent in RIZIN. Though the 31-year old has fought […]

Though the 31-year old has fought some names that UFC fans will recognise, not to mention some of the acclaim he has received during his time in Japan, December 7 is when we all get to find out how he will fare in the UFC’s flyweight division when he challenges Alexandre Pantoja for the 125-pound title.

Asakura’s highlight reel, which fans will become used to seeing in the promos for UFC 310, paints a good picture of who he is as a fighter. He does his best work on the feet and has some signature finishes to go with his striking skills.

That then opens up the question of how he will perform when facing a very high-level grappler in Pantoja who is usually so dominant on the ground. In a recent YouTube video, UFC commentator and former champion Michael Bisping added another question mark to this debate.

He pointed out that just like when the UFC and PRIDE fighters would crossover back in the day, fighters would have to adapt to fighting in a ring or a cage and that could be a factor in Las Vegas’ main event clash because it changes the way that you defend takedowns.

“The big difference between PRIDE and the UFC is that they are competed in a ring and the reason why this is going to be interesting is because has he adapted his style to the UFC, has he been training in a cage? In his fights, for example his last one against Juan Archuleta, Juan Archuleta was trying to take him down. Up against the ring, under the ropes, he was sprawling and his legs were all the way past, they were right past the end of the ropes on the apron of the ring… obviously, in a cage, you can’t do that. So if you’re pushed up against it, your feet are perpendicular to your body and that makes it easier for somebody like Alexandre Pantoja to get a hold of a leg.”

Former UFC Champion Stunned by Shi Ming’s Head-Kick Knockout of the Year

This past weekend’s UFC Macau event saw a potential knockout of the year from China’s Shi Ming delivering a brutal head-kick knockout, according to former UFC champion Michael Bisping.

Shi Ming’s Head-Kick Knockout

The Chinese-born athlete Shi Ming has kept her martial arts secret from her family. She is a standout talent in freestyle wrestling and practices MMA secretly in the evening. By day, she’s a doctor who specializes in acupuncture. In her UFC debut, she stunned with a head kick knockout which sent her opponent, Feng Xiaocan, to the hospital. Shi Ming was awarded the title of Road To UFC Season 3 champion in the Strawweight category. Given the height disparity coming into her match against Xiaocan, Ming was an underdog. You can take a look at potential underdog wagers with football bets today right here.

UFC legend Michael Bisping overcame numerous setbacks, including a detached retina, to become the first British UFC champion. He defended his title once before retiring in 2018. On his most recent podcast, Bisping exclaimed:

“She’s a doctor—a full-on doctor by day. You know, like a real, respectable doctor. And then in the evening, she goes and trains MMA … She’s competed in, like, 30 professional fights. Apparently, she’s some TikTok sensation in China. One of her TikTok videos has over a billion views … I asked her, “You’re on TV in China, competing tonight. Where do your parents think you are?” She told them she was off doing some tournament, doing katas or breaking bricks or something. Meanwhile, she’s here knocking out people in the UFC.”

With that head-kick knockout ending, Shi Ming may have earned a top spot among the best knockouts of the year, according to Bisping. He added:

“It was one of the best knockouts of the year. She’s only a tiny thing, and her opponent was way bigger. It was a lackluster fight until that kick. And look at the way her opponent’s legs froze in the air!“

Feng Xiaocan remained completely still on the canvas for several minutes and was carried out on a stretcher and then transported to a local hospital. According to the doctors on site and CT scans, there are no immediate concerns and she did not fracture any bones.

Ming has an impressive professional record of 16 wins and 5 losses, with her most recent victory coming on August 23, 2024, in the Road to UFC tournament. Her fighting style is well-rounded, with 9 wins by decision, 5 by submission, and 1 by knockout. She specializes in freestyle wrestling but is highly dangerous on the feet, in spite of her size. She continues to defy the odds, and you can play the odds with https://melbet-au.com/en right here.

Shi Ming’s performance at UFC Macau has catapulted her into the spotlight and impressed pundits such as the commentator and champion Michael Bisping.

Michael Bisping Reflects On Doing A Post-Fight Interview Right After ‘The Worst Knockout He’s Ever Seen’

This past weekend’s UFC Fight Night event in Macau might just have been 2024’s surprise card of the year following some incredible performances and highlight reel knockouts. Though Muslim Salikhov certainly gave it a run for its money later on in the night, a prelim fight went viral following a devastating head kick finish. Shi […]

Shi Ming was seemingly down two rounds on the scorecards in her strawweight Road to UFC final match-up against Feng Xiaocan. In the third round, she delivered the kick that ended the fight in an instant, knocking her opponent out cold which you very rarely see in this weight class.

The incredible joy from Ming following her remarkable accomplishment and comeback was set alongside a scary moment that developed in the immediate aftermath as Xiaocan remained motionless on the canvas. She was eventually stretchered out of the Octagon and throughout the remainder of the card, UFC commentator John Gooden provided promising health updates regarding her status which put fans at ease.

UFC hall of famer Michael Bisping was on post-fight interview duty in Macau meaning that whilst Feng was still being attended to, he needed to enter the Octagon and prepare to interview the victor. During a recent episode of his Believe You Me Podcast alongside fellow commentator Paul Felder, he spoke about this unnerving experience.

“The legs are frozen in the air and you know what it’s like Paul, when you walk into the Octagon to interview the winner and the person that’s been knocked out is still on the ground, well this went on for about 20 minutes and they must have been filling and all kinds of stuff. I’m in there and I’m talking to security and the doctors are panicking and they’re like shouting and screaming because they don’t have too many UFC events there and this was the worst knockout I’ve ever seen. She was totally unresponsive and then they bring the stretcher in, she was still unconscious, they had to carry her away and stuff. Dude, it was one of those. I was really starting to worry.”

Felder responded, using his own experiences to relate to Bisping despite the fact that he wasn’t part of the broadcast team this past weekend.

“We know that there’s high risk when you go in there but man, when you see somebody down like that and they just don’t start moving, it’s like oh my god, I don’t want to be here for this. It’s not good for business right. I mean, knockouts are great but we want everyone to get up and move on and be okay afterwards.”
