Sharaputdin Magomedov is an active fighter with one eye, and his top-notch performances never fail to impress fans. This is reminiscent of Michael Bisping, who famously defeated his opponents with one eye and became the UFC middleweight champion. Recently, fans witnessed a reunion between Bisping and his former opponent, Luke Rockhold, where Bisping surprised him with his glass eye.
Bisping and Rockhold recently met for a podcast with Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, nearly a decade after their heated rivalry. Despite their past, they have now reconciled and become somewhat friendly. Rockhold mocked Bisping’s eye injury, which left him blind in his right eye. “I’d hate to fight Bisping these days because you wouldn’t know what he’s thinking in a staredown,” Rockhold said.
Bisping fired back, “I’ve knocked him out once before, I can do it again. He should’ve been nervous because he got knocked the f*** out.”

Although both fighters share a rivalry from their UFC days, the Englishman, Michael Bisping, officially announced his retirement from MMA on May 28, 2018. He decided to retire due to issues with his other eye, which started to cause him problems.
