Bisping

I can't help but love Bisping. Some great interviews from other fighters and personalities, with some excellent footage and commentary on Bisping's journey to the top.

I believe this documentary could really have benefitted from (A) another director; or (B) not having Bisping as one of the executive producer (with obvious power on the final cut). He's charming (and handsome) enough to keep you hooked. The movie manages to drag while still dodging the more interesting part of his story. Obviously there are things he doesn't want to share - but those would have provided more humanity to it all. Granted, I might not be the target audience. I would have loved to know more about his parents, his wife's "purpose" of just "being there for him", what drives him to keep hurting his body, more than what the bros think about him...except for Michael Jai White, who is not afraid to not act and talk like a grown-up frat boy.

If the target audience is only Joe Rogan fans pumped by the cringy words of Vin Diesel that "being an alpha is a pain in the a.." there is no need of the artsy shots of the gloves and Bisping's dramatizations of his own moves before we see the actual footage. In my opinion, the rhythm changes by the time we see the footage of his wedding and endure the cringy narration of Bruce Buffer. Then, it's more about reliving those fights than getting to know him and his journey right before that.

Bispings journey to the top is very special. After watching this I can't think of anyone more deserving of his place in the UFC Hall of Fame than Michael Bisping.

Bisping is a real life rocky movie that will leave you feeling motivated to do anything.

Vito Belfort took Bispings eye while juiced up on anabolic steroids. This should be the lesson to any fighter thinking of taking PEDs in MMA.

The documentary begins in his hometown, his former home and close family. The sacrifices that his wife makes in the early days is incredible and a testament to their love.

To win a martial arts title blind in one eye will unlikely ever be repeated by any fighter in history.

You have to watch his story to understand the journey and the lessons you can take and apply them to your own life. Everytime I face doubt I will remember what Bisping has done and keep moving forward.

A great "updated" story about of the the best ever fight inside the octagon. Imagine fighting with one eye and still become champion. Bisping really overcame his adversaries and focus in what he believed he will become. Really deserved a Hall of Fame form the UFC.

If you like documentaries, it doesn't get any better than this. Not a person alive can watch this movie without laughing and crying. Bisping is a fascinating character and his story is unbelievable. Very well made.
