Michael Bisping got into a gym altercation in July of this year

Michael Bisping seems to have gotten himself into trouble with a couple of hecklers yet again!

As per TMZ, UFC Middleweight Champion Michael Bisping is being sued by a teenager, for an incident which transpired between the two at a gym in Anaheim, California. Additionally, several details regarding the entire incident have emerged after the 19-year-old went public with his grievances against Bisping.

The UFC’s 185-pound kingpin has a high-profile super-fight against former UFC 170-pound Champion Georges St-Pierre next month.

Regardless, per the police complaint filed this Monday with the California Superior Court in Orange County, the teen named Antonio Georgakopoulos narrated that on July 31st, 2017 he’d been working out at the 24-Hour fitness gym in Anaheim, with a friend.

Apparently, Georgakopoulos picked up a few weights that were being used by Bisping, following which Bisping unleashed a verbal tirade at him calling him an ‘idiot’ and a ‘little punk’. The UFC Champion then allegedly proceeded to strangulate the teenager for about 2-3 seconds, before a larger man broke up the fight.

Furthermore, Bisping is said to have challenged the teenager to take the fight outside, however, the gym staff got involved and the situation gradually diffused. Georgakopoulos has reportedly accused Bisping of assault, battery, false imprisonment and intentionally inflicting emotional distress.

The Anaheim Police Department has released a statement which said that they’ve refrained from making an arrest in this case, due to lack of evidence against Michael Bisping. Besides, Bisping has fully cooperated with the Anaheim PD in the investigation.

Meanwhile, Georgakopoulos has revealed that he visited a doctor for his injuries and experienced intense throat-pain, nightmares, difficulty sleeping and anxiety.
