Is Michael Bisping disabled?

English actor, sports analyst, commentator and retired mixed martial artist Michael Bisping is clinically blind in one eye.

Michael Bisping has strabismus, a condition in which the eyes are not properly aligned when looking at something. This was due to a detached retina injury sustained during Bisping’s fight with Vitor Belfort at UFC on FX: Belfort vs. Bisping in 2013, which Bisping lost via technical knockout in round two.

Because Belfort was on testosterone replacement therapy at the time, the loss was deemed contentious. Bisping expressed his happiness after Belfort was knocked out by Lyoto Machida with a front kick at UFC 224 on May 12, 2018.

Michael Bisping has competed professionally since 2004, and is a former UFC Middleweight Champion, Cage Rage Light Heavyweight Champion, and The Ultimate Fighter 3 Light Heavyweight tournament winner.

Michael Bisping became the first British fighter to compete in a UFC main event at UFC 78. He became the first British fighter to win a UFC Championship at UFC 199. On July 5, 2019, he was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame.
