"I fell into that trap" - Michael Bisping reveals new details about gym altercation lawsuitÂ
Michael Bisping recently recalled a gym brawl with a 19-year-old back in 2017.
On an episode of his Believe You Me podcast, Bisping and producer Mike Harrington discussed the recent incident involving Mike Tyson punching a fellow passenger on board a flight.
During their conversation, Bisping mentioned a similar incident where he got into an altercation with someone at the gym. The former UFC middleweight champion ended up being charged with battery, assault, false imprisonment, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Detailing the incident, 'The Count' said:
"He removed some of the weights and the weights hit the floor and it banged and I asked him, 'What the f**k? Did you take the plates off?' And he says, 'Yeah' and gets right in my face and he screws his face up... and he starts to make threats, he did. He started making threats and all kinds of stuff and I got set up for a lawsuit... I lost my temper, right? I didn't hit him or anything like that but I just grabbed this little f****** shit and anyways... As soon as I grabbed him, he started screaming... Later, I found out from someone else that one of his friends... said, 'Hey let's f**k with Bisping!' So, I fell into that trap."
