Michael Bisping probably should have pulled out of his middleweight championship bout with Georges St-Pierre at UFC 217.
According to Bisping, ‘The Count’ suffered a serious injury just one week before UFC 217, when training partner Dean Amasinger charged at Bisping with a double leg take down and left him with a torn cartilage in his ribs.
Bisping, who ended up losing the title to St-Pierre, revealed the details of his injury on the latest episode of True Geordie podcast.
“I actually tore the cartilage in my ribs the week before the fight,” Bisping said, per MMA Weekly’s Damon Martin.
