What Michael Bisping has achieved in his 39-Vecht career is downright remarkable.
'The Count' is considered the greatest British hunter of all time that became the first UFC champion of those coasts when he won the middleweight title at UFC 199.
His performance at the end of his career is only made more impressive by the fact that Bisping to compete in the Octagon had to make his way through medical exams due to a lack of vision in his right eye.
After retiring in 2017, the 46-year-old still fights with some health problems that have completed several operations since he left the Octagon.
However, that has not prevented him from doing what he does best, because the greatest rival in Bisping is recently unveiled on social media.

Luke Rockhold praises 'Secret Weapon' Michael Bisping after training with him
Michael Bisping fought a number of great opponents during his time in the UFC, but if there is a man who defined his career more than the others, it is Luke Rockhold.
The two men shared the Octagon twice with Rockhold who stopped the Brit in 2014 before Bisping started the UFC 199 in the short term and dethroned the middleweight champion to earn his revenge.
Although they still change a few verbal strokes here and there, Bisping and Rockhold have recently been able to leave their rivalry behind.
This is partly due to the American training with Jason Parillo in recent years, who is a good friend and former coach of 'The Count'.
While Rockhold is preparing to make his GFL debut in an upcoming Rematch with Chris Weidman, the 40-year-old shared a collection of photos and videos from his training camp where he worked with Bisping.
In the caption, the former 185 pound title holder had nothing but positive things to say about his opponent who became a training partner while praising Bisping because he continued to push himself on this point in his life.
“The secret weapon brought in for training camp. Honestly crazy respect for @bisping because they still want to scrape after everything he has experienced. Fighting really brings out the best of us”
Michael Bisping went out at the right time
After losing the middleweight title to Georges St-Pierre in Madison Square Garden, Michael Bisping chose to roll the dice again with a quick change against Kelvin Gastelum.
Pension was something he originally planned to consider seriously a few years earlier, but that everything went on hold after he won the 185 pound gold.
In May 2018, Bisping announced that, after an injury to his good (left) eye in the Gastelum fight, he forever hangs the gloves forever.
Since then, 'The Count' has become a staple of the UFC commentary team, which was appointed the Analyst of the Year to the World MMA Awards last December.
