Former UFC middleweight kingpin Michael Bisping did not fight at UFC 205 but was at the event performing his analyst duties. In a recent post on Twitter, the former fighter shared a video of a rather awkward moment he had at fight night.

Things took an awkward turn for 'The Count' when fans swarmed him at the men's toilet.

The overenthusiastic crowd pulled out their phone cameras and started taking videos of themselves with the legendary UFC fighter while he was still at the urinal.

While many would've been annoyed with the breach of privacy, Bisping was brimming with life and laughter and played along. Once he finished using the restroom, the Brit made his way through a large group of fans who continued chanting his name.

Michael Bisping is one of the most successful English fighters in the history of the promotion. In his 11 years in the UFC, 'The Count' amassed a respectable record of 20-9.

At UFC 199, Bisping became the first British fighter to win a UFC championship. He went on to defend his title once before faltering against promotional legend Georges St-Pierre at UFC 217.

In 2019, the Brit was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame, proving just how much of an impact he made in the realm of modern mixed martial arts.


When Chael Sonnen narrated Michael Bisping's hard-earned rise to the top

In a 2020 episode of his YouTube podcast, former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen detailed why UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping deserves every bit of the success he has earned.

'The Bad Guy' opined that 'The Count' was never handed any favors and had to fight for every opportunity he got throughout his career:

"Nobody did Michael any favors. Michael didn't have any favor getting into the organization to start with... He had to start from there all up at 205 pounds, which wasn't even his weight class. He never had anything done for him, ever. You can't tell me he was given an opportunity to fight for the world championship against Luke Rockhold... I'll remind you again it was on eight days' notice, there was no favors ever done to Michael Bisping. He had to fight more guys that I can think of... who turned out to be dirty."

Furthermore, Sonnen added that there was no fighter that Michael Bisping couldn't beat in his heyday:

"There was always guys that could beat him, but in that same time frame, there was nobody that he couldn’t beat. He just needed to have his night, it was one of those deals. I mean it's what dreams are made of."
