Legendary former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping choked reality TV star and notorious Jackass prankster Steve-O completely unconscious in the American's latest social media video stunt.
The Brit, who retired from the sport in 2018 after losing his world title, was working as a commentator on Saturday night's UFC event from their Las Vegas Apex facility, posing for pictures with stars after the show. And along with Marvin Vettori, a current top middleweight contender, he was asked to choke out Steve-O and YouTube star Stevewilldoit.
Bisping posted footage of the entire ordeal to his YouTube channel, with he and Vettori getting into competition over who could leave their respective pranksters unconscious quicker. The pair both agreed not to take legal action after being put in standing chokes until they pass out, and both appeared to be fine after the incident.
"There's no lawsuits, this is what we want," Steve-O insisted during an opening part of the video, before Bisping insisted that he stare into the camera and say "I will not sue f***ing anyone." The two fighters then proceeded to implement the chokes, rendering both of their victims unconscious within seconds.
It took just 13 seconds for Steve-O to be put to sleep, before Bisping quickly woke him up and made sure that he was safe after the dangerous manoeuvre. Stevewilldoit woke up the quicker of the two, and can be heard in the video saying "that was sick", before the Jackass star came to.

"Oh s***, I didn't even know what was going on," Steve-O said upon waking up, before Bisping joked that he was a "crazy b******," and declared that he had been "scared to death" after watching the star go unconscious. The fighter feared that he had caused his pal to have a fit, but it appeared that both men were fine after their stunt.
Both Stevewilldoit and Steve-O are infamous for their pranks and stunts, with the former part of the notorious YouTube group Nelk, who took inspiration from the latter's show Jackass on MTV in the early 2000s. They have become friends in recent years after the veteran showman took the social media group under his wing.
