According to 'The Count,' the incident took place on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, after a random man told him he's not allowed to take videos on his phone.

Bisping then told the him to leave but the confrontational individual decided to suckerpunch the former UFC star instead.

Bisping shared more details about his bizarre experience in a video he uploaded to YouTube. The 42-year-old recalled:

"The guy punched me in the face, that little f***ing prick. What did I do? I walked away. So anyway, guy punched me in the face. He said, 'You can't film here.' I said, 'Yeah, I can.' Bang! Cracks me one. What did he do? Punched me in the f***ing face. Literally the weakest punch I've ever felt in my life."

Thankfully, Bisping wasn't hurt. He described his attacker's punch as being "so soft." As he had been filming, Bisping captured an image of the man who attacked him and posted it on Twitter.
