Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping has lost two of his last fights, and both by way of brutal finish.
Regardless, “The Count” is considering one last fight at the next UFC event in London this March despite pressure from friends and family to retire beforehand.
Bisping revealed his plan, as well as the resistance he is facing from his family, on his podcast Believe You Me (via MMA Fighting):
“There’s a fight in the works for myself, and I’ve got until the end of the day to tell the UFC whether or not I’m taking it. There’s an offer that’s been made to me, and all fairness to the UFC, I’ve been kind of taking my time to give them an answer so I’ve got until the end of the day to give them an answer.
“I’m just debating whether or not I take the fight. For me, whether or not those people can see, I have a bad eye. I have a bad eye and my wife doesn’t want me to continue fighting, and my manager doesn’t want me to continue fighting. I see out of that eye but not as well as I used to, and I’m still a young man so it’s kind of the reason I may hang the gloves up. My wife and manager and friends and people close to me say, ‘Mike, what do you want to do that for? You’ve done it. You’ve had the belt.’ I’ve done it. I’ve done what I set out to achieve.”
Bisping lost the belt to Georges St-Pierre by third-round submission at UFC 217 before making a three-week turnaround in a fight against Kelvin Gastelum, where he was brutally knocked out in the first round.
While his friends and family have made it clear they wish for him to retire now, Bisping feels compelled to fight one last time in front of his hometown fans.
Do you think Bisping should listen to his family and retire now, or would you like to see him in one last fight before throwing in the towel for good?

Fight fans and pundits alike all expressed concern over Michael Bisping’s first-round knockout loss to Kelvin Gastelum just three weeks after from Bisping’s loss to GSP at UFC 217.

Fight fans and pundits alike all expressed concern over Michael Bisping’s first-round knockout loss to Kelvin Gastelum just three weeks after from Bisping’s loss to GSP at UFC 217.
Now, you can count longtime adversary of the former middleweight champion Yoel Romero in with those who were concerned.
Despite a history of trash talking between the two, Romero questioned why Bisping was encouraged to and allowed to fight less than a month after a grueling defeat while on a recent appearance on The MMA Hour:
“You know, that was the big surprise. Why? It’s so crazy, it doesn’t make sense. I don’t know how the athletic commission said yes and accepted that he’d fight. It’s so crazy, it’s so crazy.
“I don’t know how the family, the relatives of Michael Bisping allowed him to fight,” Romero explained. “I don’t know why the team, the coaches said, ‘OK, take the fight.’
“I don’t know why Michael Bisping took the fight. I don’t know why the UFC said yes. This is very dangerous, it’s not just a fight, it’s very dangerous. Normally, he needed rest for like 16 to 19 days, you know. But he’s sleeping, he didn’t tap out, he went to sleep (in the St-Pierre bout). When that happens in a fight, like a choke or knockout, you need a rest, like a minimum of 16 days.”
Bisping was bloodied and battered and eventually choked out by Georges St. Pierre, losing his middleweight title in the process. Then out of nowhere, Bisping took a fight with Gastelum after Anderson Silva once again tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs.
Gastelum viciously knocked the recently deposed champ out in the first round, in a way Bisping had never been knocked out before. Even though Dan Henderson and Vitor Belfort had knocked him out years ago, he fought into the second and third rounds respectively and didn’t get put out in two minutes flat.
Do you agree with Romero that Bisping shouldn’t have taken the fight against Gastelum so soon after losing to GSP?

Newly-crowned middleweight champion Georges St-Pierre may have successfully defeated Michael Bisping at UFC 217, but before he did, his team was skeptical about how the fight could have played out.
In fact, GSP’s team told him outright that it was a bad idea to fight Bisping, the two-time UFC champ revealed to MMA Junkie following UFC 217:
“What I’ve done, it’s never going to be taken away from me. It’s something I will keep for the rest of my life. Maybe one day I will go through some negative thing in my life. I will be able to think back about that moment, and it will make me smile. That’s what it is what people don’t understand. I do this to live a moment. I lived a moment.
“I feel very privileged to live that moment. It was a big risk, but bigger the risk, bigger the reward. Even though a lot of people in my entourage told me it was a bad idea, I always trusted my myself and I always believed I was able to do it, and I did it and I’m very proud.”
While the risk may have paid off against Bisping, St-Pierre was realistic in his assessment of the fight game. GSP came out of a four-year retirement to challenge for the middleweight title after a grueling fight against Johny Hendricks back at UFC 167, a fight he won by controversial split decision and also a fight where he left battered and bruised.
With recent revelations regarding brain trauma and concussions, St-Pierre remains deliberately vague when discussing his plans for the future:
“The goal in this game is to retire on top, to not leave too late like a lot of guys like Muhammad Ali,” St-Pierre said. “They made the mistake of believing they were on top, but when you start to get a little bit greedy thinking that you’re special – we’re all human beings, and nobody is invisible. There’s no such thing as being the strongest man. When I was young, I wanted to do MMA because I wanted to be the strongest man. There’s no such thing. I realize now. Everybody can beat everybody on any given day.”
GSP is expected to defend his middleweight belt against interim champ Robert Whittaker sometime in the near future, however, even that is far from certain to happen.
Should St-Pierre continue fighting now that he’s middleweight champion? Or would a brutal loss to a top middleweight like Whittaker, Brunson, or Romero tarnish his historic legacy?

Three new champions in one night, a card chock-full of finishes; UFC 217 had it all. From longtime former welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre’s triumphant return to several other unbelievable upsets, Saturday night gave us a ton to work with.
Saturday night marked the UFC’s return to Madison Square Garden following the wildly successful UFC 205 last year, and their sophomore effort proved to be just as successful.
With so much to break down and analyze, check out our five biggest takeaways from UFC 217!
UFC 217 is one of those events that completely changed the MMA landscape in a single night.
Joanna J?drzejczyk knocked out in the first round, Cody Garbrandt knocked out in the second round, and Bisping dethroned by third-round submission. That’s a lot to process.
With Rose Namajunas, TJ Dillashaw, and GSP now champions, multiple weight classes that had perhaps gotten a bit stagnant are now wide-open for new contenders and champions to take over.
Saturday night was just one of those rare events that turned the MMA world totally upside down, which in the long run will actually prove to be a good thing for the middleweight, bantamweight, and women’s strawweight divisions.
