Michael Bisping has been given the green light by an athletic commission to fight Jake Paul despite only having one eye - with the organisation willing to sanction a fight between the pair. The legendary UK former UFC fighter was called out by American YouTuber turned boxer Paul and he has now responded himself - putting the ball in Paul's court.
Bisping retired from the UFC in 2018, after he fought 11 times with one eye after a hit which should have been career-ending. In 2013, Bisping was hit with a vicious head kick by Vitor Belfort, knocking him out. At the time Belfort had been using a now-banned testosterone replacement therapy, more commonly known as TRT, which had given a clear physical advantage in the octagon.
Bisping would go on to suffer from eye issues for the remainder of his career, after the kick had given him a detached retina - fighting 11 further times. He has since confirmed that one of his eyes is a prosthetic.
