Michael Bisping responds to Justin Gaethje's accusation of "biased" commentary during Leon Edwards vs Kamaru Usman at UFC 286. Gaethje said Bisping was biased and "shouldn't have been near" a microphone during the UFC 286 UFC welterweight title fight

I thought DC was a bit biased towards the wrestler (Usman) and Bisping a bit Biased towards the Striker (Edwards), which is totally understandable. Whenever DC talked about Usman and his skills, Bisping provided the counterargument. Nothing wrong in my book.

[@thelawspeaks]

Class act Bisping. I think the analysis was fair. I was rooting for Kamaru but Leon was more successful in the wrestling and landed cleaner shots and as much volume.

As a UFC fan for over 20 years It has massively pissed me off what Gaethje has said. If you watched the fight and even the build up shows leading Upto the fight, Bisping was courteous to both fighters. Even to the point where he wouldn’t give a prediction because he was commentating the fight. Keep your chin up Mike you said absolutely nothing wrong.

[@mn18_]

So impressed with your open mind and well composed response and explanation. Always feel good after listening your vlogs

[@txxttv9116]

I actually watched nearly the entire fight without volume except for the times where there was a stoppage of the fight due to how dirty Leon was fighting. I scored the fight 3-2 and I could even see 4-1 to Leon WITH my bias being for Kamaru seeing as how he’s from my area. Leon fought a great fight. Not sure what the bias was on Bispings part but Leon definitely won no question

What am I going to say? Pure class from Bisping, period.

[@designingtheenemy5869]

Justin meant he's just as biased as he claims you and the judges to be. He didn't misspeak more than he contradicted tf out of himself. The only way Leon doesn't win that fight is if it was a draw due to the point reduction. I'd say if you think Usman won then you are more than likely biased on that situation although I haven't rewatched the thing.

[@Ben-xg7ig]

Yea , was about to say that. If anything bisping misspoke or didn’t understand

[@jayn6943]

It was a clear win for Leon. I thought the score would be closer, but I was certain of the win.

[@tgwnn]

He didn't contradict himself. He just meant that he's 10% (for example) biased towards Kamaru and the judges are 10% biased towards Leon. So if it was a 50-50 fight, for him it's a 60-40 Kamaru fight and for the judges saw it 60-40 Leon. But Gaethje says Bisping is way more biased than the judges, let's say 20%, so for Bisping it's actually 70-30. Now, I don't think anyone is biased here except maybe Gaethje :)) but his statements are not contradictory.

[@walidbenyahia9400]

he didnt contradict himself, he said he is biased like the judges but towards kamaru and not leon, but bisping is way more biased than the judges towards leon. i agree with everything he said.

[@johngleue]

Kamaru claims to represent Nigeria because it's not cool to represent the country you came to for real opportunities and a happy life. Why would "yanks" have Kamaru's back. I like Leon better than the guy who represents a place simply because he was born there because that's a racist mentality. The values Kamaru actually reflects with his hard work and success are American values. Not recognizing what makes America great is why we're constantly getting our liberties stripped away one by one as the years go by with ridiculous regulation and these representatives who actually hate America and have no idea what it stands for.

[@mrfatuchi]

But Leon stuffed that takedown by grabbing on to the fence. How would have fight went if Usman was able to throw him to thr ground, which he was about to, now we dobt know.

[@rohitchaoji]

@@mrfatuchi Honestly, these fence grabs, short grabs, glove grabs, eye pokes, etc happen way more frequently than you think. I can think of the Oliveira vs Gaethje fight where Charles held on tight to Justin's glove during a scramble. There was even a GSP fight where he held on to his opponent's shorts while taking him down. Let's not forget McGregor desperately holding on to gloves, shorts and fence to avoid being taken down. Fighting is dirty, and fighters do all they can to get a superior position, as long as they can get away with it, especially when it is something high stakes, like a championship. The consequences are getting a warning from the ref, and you can't try doing the same thing again or you risk getting penalized and your points deducted. In the heat of the moment, you have to make a choice between losing the position, and potentially the rest of the fight, or getting a warning or penalty from the referee. Its not clean or honorable, but you'd be hard pressed to find such high stakes fights that go cleanly.

[@mrfatuchi]

@@rohitchaoji I have seen almost all those but none of them as blatant as what Leon did he really grabbed on in crucial moment and prevented what could have been tide turning takedown. It was exact same takedown attempt that Jones took Gane down and won. I dunno they need to sanction these things way more. Edit: Actually just had a great idea they need to put a transparent screen like foil type in front of the fence to prevent any grabbing at all.

[@jamesdunn1935]

I didn't see the Kamuru/Leon fight so I can't offer comment. However, I have seen you comment many times Mike and I think you always do a good job. Justin was clearly upset that his teammate and friend lost and let his emotions get the better of him. Good video keep it up.

BTW @bisping I thought you were fair and honest with your commentary, Gaethje was just gutted a team mate lost.

[@RAFCMC702]

I don’t agree bud. I don’t watch something and then completely forget what I just watched? 🤦‍♂️ You watched the 1st round of the 2nd fight and then by the end of the fight you completely forgot Leon took Usman down and won the 1st? I don’t understand.

[@ZeroIQ2]

@@RAFCMC702 no lol. I watched the full fight on 20th August 2022, then UFC 286, which was 18 March 2023, almost 7 months later, my memory of what happened at UFC 278 was wrong.

Wow! In all honesty, this shows a great maturity from Bisping. Certainly not the Bisping of yesteryear. Different stages of life. He was entertaining as anything in his prime, and still entertaining now, but in a different way. Full credit.

Thank you for being you Michael, very much humility to behold. God bless man 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@hoseaxci2419]

You’re the man bisping. It wasn’t bias. You were COMMENTATING on what was going on during the fight. Calling it how you see it. When I watch my favorite rugby league team in the NRL, the worst part is seeing a replay of the opposing team scoring a try and the commentators explaining how good it was. That’s not bias. It’s commentary

[@SteveTidz]

These yanks always get salty after a loss lol full of excuses 😂

[@daxgansz3939]

Spoken like a true legend always love your honest opinion

[@ernienieves3229]

Graceful and respectful response sir. Nice job champ!

[@sebastianbutler2423]

Bisping I used to like your commentary but in the past year u have been kinda iffy on the mic in my opinion and after this last weekend in London dude my goodness I really wanted to turn it off cause u were so blatantly biased for every fighter fighting out of England like cmon dude

[@timh1146]

Well done Mike, As a massive fan of yourself since ultimate fighter season 3 took it personally when Justin made that comment, I lost a little bit of respect for him. The way you responded to that with such humility was humbling, putting your emotions to one side and spoke the truth. You could have tore him apart but you articulated perfectly. I love watching Justin’s fights and see him being in the hall of fame one day but it is obvious it’s coming at a cost… Love your channel, love you!
