UFC legend Michael Bisping has revealed that he was assaulted on the streets of New Orleans this past weekend.
Bisping, to this day, is still considered by many to be the most successful mixed martial artist to come out of the United Kingdom – mainly due to his UFC middleweight title win back at UFC 199.
Of course, we all know his journey goes back much further than that, with his ascent to superstardom beginning when he first appeared on The Ultimate Fighter.
“I laughed and walked away”
Following his retirement a few years back we’ve seen Bisping make the transition over to the commentary desk where he does most of his work alongside his podcast. However, that doesn’t mean he isn’t still in incredible shape.
As it turns out, someone decided to pick a fight with ‘The Count’ on Saturday evening whilst he was on holiday with his family in New Orleans.
