That time Michael Bisping took his fake eye out to mock Luke Rockhold …

The good news is, ex-rivals Michael Bisping and Luke Rockhold are on decent terms now.

Maybe they aren’t sharing a table at Friendsgiving, but they’re probably not putting sugar in the other guy’s gas tank, either.

So when they got together on fellow former UFC champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson’s podcast recently, they did some playful ribbing. The pair are 1-1 against each other. Rockhold submitted Bisping in 2014, but Bisping got big-time comeuppance when he upset Rockhold with a knockout to win the middleweight title in 2016.

But when he wasn’t in title fights, Bisping was dealing with eye issues – and a detached right retina from his 2013 head kick knockout loss to Vitor Belfort eventually led to full blindness in that eye, and he wears a cosmetic one.

That gave him the perfect opportunity to let Rockhold know that when he beat him, he beat him with one eye – and proved it by taking it out of his head, much to the discomfort of the rest of the room.

Check out the footage on the “JAXXON” Podcast above (around the 16 minute mark).
