MichaelBisping's surprising and inspiring rise from good fighter to UFC champion is chronicled in a new documentary, 'Bisping: The Michael Bisping Story.'
MMA fans might think they know the story of Michael Bisping, the British mixed martial artist who won The Ultimate Fighter 3, became one of the toughest guys in the UFC, and finally broke through at the age of 38 to win the UFC Middleweight Championship in 2016. Registering the most total fights and wins in the Middleweight division cemented his Hall of Fame career.
Now, one of the most popular personalities in UFC history is setting the record straight and telling his side of the story in Bisping: The Michael Bisping Story. Directed by Michael Hamilton , Bisping is the first-hand account of the UFC star who defies the odds as he transforms from journeyman to champion. The documentary showcases not only the biggest matchups of his career but the toughest battles, both professional and personal, that almost ended his career.
Known for his brash personality throughout his career, this humble, extremely loving version of Bisping will not only surprise fans but provide them with a greater sense of appreciation for the fighter known as “The Count.” The teenage years did not get any easier for the future hall of fame, as he spent one month in prison after a bar fight. With his wife Rebecca pregnant, his time in prison became a wake-up call, which eventually led him to train to become a professional fighter.
The film not only focuses on the physical toll of fighting but also on the mental aspect, which is arguably more emotionally taxing to a fighter. Hamilton is smart to bring in prominent fighters and commentators to discuss the detrimental effects losing can have on an athlete. Tito Ortiz, Michael Jai White, and Rashad Evans all share personal stories about how the mindset of a fighter can be a tough place.
