In the images (see below), Weidman and Bisping were talking when the Englishman decided to remove the glass eye and show it to the camera. The joke came with a comment.

“I’ll keep an eye on it,” Michael said.

The prosthesis used by Bisping is a consequence of the worsening of injuries suffered throughout his career as a fighter. The athlete has stated several times that, over the years, his vision was progressively lost.

Middleweight champion (up to 83,9kg) between 2016 and 2017, Bisping is retired from MMA. The fighter last performed almost four years ago, when he was knocked out by Kelvin Gastelum. Today, the Englishman works as a UFC commentator.

“I'll keep an eye on that one!”

It was going to happen eventually 😅
