Michael Bisping and Carl Froch have given their opinions on what would happen in a street fight between the Count and the Cobra.
Michael Bisping and Carl Froch Break Down Hypothetical Street Fight
The former UFC middleweight champion appeared as a guest on Carl Froch’s YouTube channel, Froch On Fighting as the two talked all-things UFC, boxing and combat sports.
Bisping is currently a UFC commentator but was once one of the biggest names in the middleweight division, beating the likes of Anderson Silva and winning the title in 2017.
He became the first British fighter to win gold in MMA’s biggest organisation and did so with an emphatic first-round KO victory over Luke Rockhold – a man who had beaten Bisping previously.
Following this victory, Bisping would defend his title against Dan Henderson, another fighter who had beaten the Count in the past before losing the belt to George St Pierre.
He is still heavily involved in the UFC, being close friends with Dana White and also has his own YouTube channel, but this time he was a guest and spoke to renowned British boxing star, Carl Froch.
During their hour-long conversation, the two spoke about what would happen if they were to take part in a street fight – the age old question between a boxer and MMA fighter.
The former UFC star was quick to dismiss any possibility of Froch winning this hypothetical bout and jokingly gave his thoughts on how the fight would go.
Bisping said: “I’ll just take you down. You’ll be down on your back in no time.”
Froch replied with: “If me and you ended up having a roll around on the cobbles. I mean, if it was a roll around, I’d be bang in trouble.
“But I think I could keep you at range for a bit behind that jab and try to… I don’t know. I’m talking myself into something that’s not going to happen, and if it did, I could be in serious trouble.”
Bisping then replied, saying: “Mate, listen. There’s no d— measuring contest here, but I will say this. I think you’d be surprised. I was known for my hands back in the day, Carl. Come on, buddy.”
Bisping is still actively training in MMA, despite the Englishman having two knee operations and losing vision in his right eye which was caused by a Vitor Belfort head kick in 2013.
