Dethroned as middleweight leader (up to 83,9kg) by Georges St-Pierre, Michael Bisping believes that the end of the confrontation could have been different. In a statement given on its official channel on 'Youtube', the Brit revealed that he fought injured at the time and said that he would have won the duel if he had been healthy.

“I would crush him. I would have crushed him that night, but he was hurt. I was pretty injured, I only had one eye and my ribs were lacerated,” Bisping said.

Michael and GSP faced each other in November 2017, at UFC 217. At the time, Bisping was the middleweight champion and the Canadian returned to the Octagon after four years away due to retirement. The former welterweight leader (under 77,1kg) took no notice of the Brit and defeated him via submission in the third round.

In June 2016, when he had already been an Ultimate fighter for 10 years, Michael achieved the maximum glory of an MMA athlete by winning the UFC belt. On that occasion, the Brit knocked out Luke Rockhold in the first round and became champion of the 83,9kg division. The fighter retired in November 2017 with 30 triumphs and nine setbacks in professional MMA.
