Bisping, who’s known for his witty banter and sharp tongue, has shined behind the microphone. Host of his own podcast, “Believe You Me,” with comedian Luis J. Gomez, Bisping’s transition as a commentator has been a natural one.
And while he’s already become a fan favorite, one thing remains on his bucket list. The future UFC Hall of Famer would like to some day share the booth with Joe Rogan, who currently only commentates U.S.-based pay-per-views.
The former middleweight champion and Season 3 “Ultimate Fighter” winner will return to the booth for Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 30 card, which is headlined by a featherweight showdown between elite strikers Edson Barboza and Giga Chikadze.
