Michael Bisping removed his fake eye in an attempt to copy Bond with Shara 'Bullet' Magomedov during a recent interview.
The best middleweight candidate has often mentioned the former champion of his division as his inspiration to fight despite the suffering of an injury that blinded him at one eye. And while on Saturday evening he prepares the countryman 'Venom' page of TP Face Bisping on Saturday evening, the couple united for a chat.
Bisping often wears coverage that protects his right eye and resembles what he might look like before he was injured. But he removed the 'fake eye' to better bind with Magomedov, who proudly carries his injury as part of his 'pirates' Gimmick.
Michael Bisping and Shara Magomedov Bond in Healthy Interview
Michael Bisping comments on the fight on Saturday evening between Shara Magomedov and Michael 'Venom' page and this week met both men for pre-fighting interviews. Fans were excited to see him spend time with the resident of Dagestan, given that they are both blind at one eye.
Bisping was blinded during a fight in 2013 with Vorror Belfort in Sao Paolo and had to make his way through tests to mislead doctors to clean him up to fight. Magomedov suffered a similar fate years before he made the UFC and has since only fought in the middle of American committees.
The couple came face-to-face on the YouTube channel of the former champion and immediately seemed to bind about their common edition. They embraced by the end when Bisping even removed his eye cover to look better like Magomedov and to burn the pair of 'brothers'.
He asked the Russian if he ever considered getting a similar coverage that could help his aesthetics, but Magomedov shot the idea. “It doesn't matter,” Bisping continued. 'You look good, you own it. I am AP ****, everyone bullyed me online and said mean things that harm my feelings, so I tried to hide it. “

“You are a legend,” Magomedov said at a rare emotional moment. “To be honest, if it wasn't for you, I would probably have stopped fighting.”
