Michael Bisping Admits Regret Over Taking Short-Notice Fight Against Kelvin Gastelum

If he had the option to do it all over again, Michael Bisping would have ended his mixed martial arts career one fight earlier than he actually did.

After relinquishing the middleweight title via submission to Georges St. Pierre in a physically-demanding bout at UFC 217, Bisping agreed to face Kelvin Gastelum approximately three weeks later in the UFC Fight Night 122 headliner. The British veteran dealt with eye issues dating back to 2013, when he suffered a detached retina in his right eye in a knockout loss to Vitor Belfort.
