Timeline

1939

Andrzej Bobola Bisping von Gallen fled with his family from Poland to England after the Soviet invasion in September 1939.

Many members of the noble families were pursued and executed by Soviet Red Army during World War II, including Andrew's father, Jan, who was named after his own grandfather (Andrew's father), served in the British Army.

Michael's mother is from Northern Ireland.

Bisping has described himself as "English through and through".

He began training Jujutsu at the age of eight.

1979

Michael Gavin Joseph Bisping (born 28 February 1979) is an English actor, sports analyst, commentator and retired mixed martial artist, who competed in the Middleweight and Light Heavyweight division of the UFC.

1994

In 1994, at the age of 15, he competed as an amateur in Britain's first "no holds barred" competition, a precursor to modern MMA, called Knock Down Sport Budo (KSBO).

At the age of 18, Bisping decided to abandon his martial arts training "to pursue real-life".

Less than a year later, Bisping began training in boxing, kickboxing, and karate on the advice of Allan Clarkin, owner of Black Knights Kickboxing, who saw potential in him.

Bisping enjoyed a short but successful kickboxing career, winning the North West Area title and later the Pro British light heavyweight kickboxing title.

1998

After again briefly quitting competition in 1998, Bisping returned to kickboxing to take the Pro British light heavyweight title for a second time.

Soon after winning his second kickboxing title, he was forced to abandon his full-time training for a "real job".

In addition to working at factories, slaughterhouses, and demolition companies, he was also an upholsterer, postman, tiler, plasterer, and salesman.

2004

A professional competitor since 2004, he is a former UFC Middleweight Champion, a former Cage Rage Light Heavyweight Champion and The Ultimate Fighter 3 Light Heavyweight tournament winner.

At UFC 78, he became the first British fighter to compete in a UFC main event.

At UFC 199, he became the first British fighter to win a UFC Championship.

Bisping made his professional mixed martial arts debut at Pride & Glory 2: Battle of the Ages on 4 April 2004, taking a 0:38 submission victory over Steve Mathews.

Just one month later, Bisping scored his first knockout against John Weir at UK MMA Challenge 7: Rage & Fury.

In his third MMA match, Bisping was scheduled to face the experienced Renato Sobral at Cage Rage 7 but his opponent pulled out ten days before the event.

Instead, Bisping defeated Mark Epstein by technical knockout and became the Cage Rage light heavyweight champion.

Bisping went on to defend his championship title in a rematch against Epstein at Cage Rage 9 in a knockout victory that solidified Bisping as one of the top light heavyweight fighters in England.

It also earned him the moniker "The Great British Hope", by UFC.
