- Michael Bisping has a prosthetic eye after suffering a separate retina in a fight
- The UFC legend eliminated the prosthesis during an interview with Shara Magomedov
The former UFC champion Michael Bisping withdrew his ocular protésic during an interview with the medium -sized weight contender Shara 'Bullet' Magomedov.
Magomedov is undefeated within the UFC octagon since he signed with the promotion in 2023, and extended his record to a perfect 15-0 with an performance of the double night spinning backfist against Armen Petrosyan in October.
On Saturday, the 30 -year -old faces the most difficult test of his career to date when he faces the front elbinage Michael 'Venom' in the main event of the first UFC event in Saudi Arabia.
In the period prior to the crash, bisping, which will serve as a color commentator for the event, sat down with Magomedov for a PREVIOUS INTERVIEW TO THE FIGHT.
At the beginning of his fighting career, Magomedov suffered an injury that was not treated and, despite the fact that several surgeries left him with only 60% vision in his right eye, a problem with which Bisping is very familiar.
Like Magomedov, Bisping also suffered a serious optical injury during his career, derived from a separate retina suffered in a KO defeat against Vitor Belfort in 2013.
