UFC commentator and former middleweight champion Michael Bisping has given his thoughts on when you should tell the referee that your vision is compromised.
Recently, there’s been a big controversy surrounding Tom Aspinall, the current UFC heavyweight champion. It stems from the nasty double eye injury that he suffered at the hands of Ciryl Gane in the main event of UFC 321, which rendered him unable to continue in the fight. Someone who knows a thing or two about suffering eye injuries in big bouts is none other than Michael Bisping.
Michael Bisping’s problems weren’t quite as immediate as Tom’s, but it certainly had long-lasting effects as he is now blind in one eye, stemming from a detached retina problem from when he fought Vitor Belfort many years ago.
