True Champion. With 1 eye he won and defended the World Title. Pure Savage. How anyone can hate this guy ill never understand.

I got to work with him a few times for his Brian Stann camp. He was still playing the heel role a bit and liked to tease and fuck with people, but he was always laughing and always supportive when it mattered. I was a fan of his ever since and screamed at the top of my lungs when he knocked out cockhold.

Majority of us hated him from TUF, watched his 10 year journey to murder a loud mouth samurai, turned babyface, cheered for him on his last fights going out on his shield. Then find out he was fighting with one eye after he retired. Fucking legend!!!! Bisping is on the Mount Rushmore of MMA.

The true Cinderella man. He was once known to be the best fighter to never fight for a belt. His one chance at the end of his career with all the odds stacked against him he won. Also him jumping on the cage looking at Luke in a pile on the ground and yells "Fuck you" before screaming at the crown is the best mma celebration of all time and that moment alone should be in the hall of fame.
