In 2016, Michael Bisping became the luckiest man in MMA. First, he scored a shocking decision win over Anderson Silva. Then, he won the UFC middleweight title by knocking out Luke Rockhold.
Furthermore, Bisping survived a grueling encounter in his first title defense by outpointing Dan Henderson.
A smile from ear to ear was the face of Bisping. Lady luck was on his side for an entire year. But the gleeful smirk could turn into a frown if he dances with Cyborg inside the Octagon.
Bisping has been viciously knocked out twice in his career. He might suffer the same fate at the hands of Cyborg. Bisping’s glass chin and poor defense surely doesn’t help his chances of survival.
Bisping was terribly beat in his last three fights despite winning. Against Cyborg, the UFC middleweight champion might not be so lucky.
