Michael Bisping was born on a British military base in Nicosia while his father was on duty, though he grew up in Liverpool, England. His early training in Jujutsu commenced at the age of eight, eventually venturing into the English Knock Down Sport Budo, a form of modern MMA. In 1998, Bisping delved into boxing, karate, and kickboxing, even securing the North West Area title and subsequently the Pro British light heavyweight kickboxing title. Amidst his training, he held various odd jobs, including working at demolition companies, factories, and also as a tiler, postman, salesman, plasterer, and upholsterer.
In 2004, Bisping made his professional mixed martial arts debut at Pride & Glory 2: Battle of the Ages, and within a year, he secured the Cage Warriors light heavyweight title, defending it twice. In 2006, he marked a new chapter by joining the Ultimate Fighting Championship through “The Ultimate Fighter” reality television series and emerging as the victor by defeating Josh Haynes in the finals, which notably boosted his net worth. Subsequently, Bisping clinched The Ultimate Fighter 4 by triumphing over Eric Schafer. However, a defeat to Rashad Evans led him to transition to the middleweight category.
Since his middleweight debut in April 2008, Bisping has partaken in 36 fights, winning 29 of them, 16 by knockouts. Notably, he seized the UFC Middleweight Champion title in June 2016 with a first-round knockout victory over defending champion Luke Rockhold, significantly enriching his net worth. He is set to defend his title against Dan Henderson in October.
Throughout his career, Bisping has clinched several titles and accolades, including International Fighter of the Year in 2008 and 2012, Performance of the Night twice, the honor of being the First Non-American to win The Ultimate Fighter, the First British fighter to win a UFC title, and Fight of the Night on four occasions.
Besides his sporting endeavors, Bisping has also ventured into acting, featuring in movies and series such as “Beatdown” (2010), “Hollyoaks Later” (2010), and “The Anomaly” (2014). Currently, he is involved in filming “Victrix” alongside Rutger Hauer and Max von Sydow, and “xXx: Return of Xander Cage” starring Vin Diesel, Samuel L. Jackson, and Nina Dobrev, endeavors that have substantially added to his net worth.
In his personal life, Michael Bisping is married to Rebecca, and they have three children together. Hailing from a noble lineage, the family has resided in various countries around the world, including Germany, England, Scotland, Ireland, and the US. Presently, they are based in Orange County, California.
