Michael Bisping announces retirement from MMA after issues with other eye
After losing to Kelvin Gastelum last November, Michael Bisping wasn’t sure whether he’d fight again. Even months later, he still weighed his options — hanging up his gloves or stepping into the cage at least once more — trying to determine what would be best for his life.
But the former UFC middleweight champion has finally made up his mind.
On Monday, Bisping announced his retirement from MMA on his podcast, Believe You Me.
“Obviously, I’ve teased this for a long time now — I might fight again, I might not,” Bisping said. “Unfortunately, it’s not a fight I’m announcing. I’m going to announce my official retirement from mixed martial arts.”
