Michael Bisping retired from the UFC after losing to Kelvin Gastelum in 2017
UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping is one of the most popular faces in the business as he is now a commentator and podcaster too.
Bisping is a former Middleweight Champion but retired from the sport in 2017 after losing to Kelvin Gastelum.
The 41-year-old has spoken about problems in his knees in the past and even had replacement surgery. While Bisping is one of the best ever, he did speak about retiring a little earlier than he did.
The British star is regularly on social media answering questions from his fans and one asked about his huge battle against Georges St-Pierre.
GSP was also coming back from retirement and got the better of Bisping. The 41-year-old then fought Gastelum with that being his last bout, however, The Count claimed he would have retired on the night if he beat GSP.

Beating the best of the rest
Bisping also answered some other questions with him claiming that he would defeat the current crop of Middleweights if he was in his prime.

That is saying a lot since Israel Adesanya is the current Middleweight champion and is undefeated in his career. Many claim Adesanya is one of the best ever but Bisping was great too during his prime.
The Count ended his MMA career with a record of 30 wins and nine losses. Bisping defeated some of the best at the time with Anderson Silva, Dan Henderson and Luke Rockhold all losing to him.
However, The Count cut short any chance of him making a return to the Octagon now:
I’m a changed man……. I like to think. Sadly, I’m not. https://t.co/43fM9ni527

Bisping vs GSP remains one of the biggest fights in UFC history and it could have been the perfect swansong for his career.
