Michael Bisping
Michael Bisping is a very respectful fighter, one who almost always respects his opponents, if not before the fight then after it.
He is not the one to hold grudges, part of the reason why that is because he rarely holds anything back.

His quick witted, cheeky British humour is extremely ingenious and while it comes off as unsuspecting of any bad intentions, Bisping sure displays a ton of heart on every occasion when he enters the octagon.
In a nutshell, Bisping is the character who everyone loves to hate.
For a long time, Bisping was in the UFC as a gatekeeper for younger fighters to make it into the top 5 of the middleweight division and as he candidly confessed, he did lose some key fights.
But surprising everyone, Bisping rose to the occasion against Rockhold and immediately embraced his true persona after, that of a person who is respectful but sure knows how to annoy the hell out of you.
For us fans, it makes for a great back and forth banter that is universally enjoyed.
