message: Article's locked now but once it gets unlocked, there's a mistake at the bottom of his bio. UFC 75 took place in London, England, but that is not his hometown.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.117.178.23 (talk) 15:47, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Bisping is openly gay and has said he got into MMA because one of the guys at his gym was taking classes and wanted to get close.
    Why is that statement even here? What does that have to do with where his hometown is?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fumblemuck (talk • contribs) 07:14, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

message: article - "Bisping's Cage Rage title would eventually be vacated when in 2005 he signed to fight in England's Cage Warriors Fighting Championship promotion"
That's not quite correct as Bisping had already fought three times in Cagewarriors , whilst also being Cage Rage champion, some months before this eventual stripping. Bisping is associated with Wolfslair Gym as stated elsewhere in the article, which is connected with Cagewarriors. I've sorted the date order of this stuff as there is overlap and also put references from the two fight promotions. --Revolt 13:22, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

message: How can you get hit with a right hook when Henderson is not a southpaw? It was an overhand right. 67.100.189.90 (talk) 14:58, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Right hook/overhand right

message: How is the following statement relevant to the article? "In a December 2008 interview, Cruiserweight boxer Enzo Maccarinelli said he would be confident of knocking out Bisping if he were to switch from boxing to MMA." Should articles include every would be fighter who says they could knock out another fighter? I think it's even less relevant considering they don't even compete in the same sport. I could maybe understand if they were the top two competitors of their respective sports, but they aren't. I could maybe see it being in Maccarinelli's article, if this were perhaps seen as a motivation for him to move to MMA, but until that happened, I would still fail to see how the statement has any significance.

thread_title:  Bisping-Silva UFC 105 

message: In an article on Slate.com about Fedor's switch to Strikeforce, Bisping was described as a "fraud". Is there some controversy that isn't mentioned here, or was that likely referring to the Hamill match and subsequent drop in divisions?KhProd1 (talk) 09:35, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Fraud" 

message: The last bit about bisping vs wand says things that are incorrect probably because somebody wants to make it seem like he did better than he did against silva. it was not "an even fight" or a "close decision" either.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.44.93.39 (talk) 21:39, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  biased 

message: I think it is important to add that Bisping threw a blatantly illegal knee, purposely grabbed the cage (not instinctively) and spat at Rivera's cornermen.  These are facts.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.57.177.161 (talk) 00:33, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rivera Fight 

message: It says Leben was caught "juicing" following the fight. In fact, he was using opiates. "Juice" in common parlance refers to anabolic steroids, not painkillers. These are vastly different types of medication. Perhaps somebody can remedy this, article is protected after all.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.108.204.50 (talk) 16:59, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks, I wasn't trying to disinform when I said painkillers, I got that from Leben's page, but that's also been set to Stanozolol now. Well done.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.108.204.50 (talk) 13:31, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Leben Fight 

message: look at the weigh ins, his height is listed at 6'2 but in UFC on fox 2, he is shorter than chael sonnen by about an inch, chael is 6'1. this would make him 6'0 tall. but bisping is no taller than 6'1. against wanderlei silva who is 5'11 bisping looked no more than 2 inches taller thus he is only about 6'1 tops.  Against henderson also 5'11, henderson looks no more than 2 inches taller than him.  Denis kang is also 5'11 and bisping looks 6'0 to 6'1, there is no way bisping is 6'2. 6'1 would be a closer estimate to his true height. Just look at the weigh in and you will see.

message: Hello, it is now without doubt that Bisping has lost his right eye due to the kick by Belfort. Therefore, I think someone competent enough should edit the article for this important change. It also means that Bisping doesn't have strabismus; it is only his artifical eye that cannot move as much as the left (good) eye. Bisping had to conceal his eye loss to continue to fight. Please cross-check information if organisations require both eyes' sight to compete.-— Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.200.113.245 (talk) 16:01, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
