UFC rivals Michael Bisping and Dan Henderson can finally agree on something – Colby Covington produced a great performance on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
Covington enjoyed one of the best showings of his mixed martial arts career this past weekend as he dominated rival Tyron Woodley to put himself right back in the hunt for another shot at the UFC Welterweight Championship.<\/p>\n
Many big figures from the sport commented on the main event bout in the immediate aftermath of “Chaos” getting his hand raised, including the aforementioned Bisping and Henderson.<\/p>\n
\nCongrats to @ColbyCovMMA<\/a> for a great performance tonight. Very impressive domination of a tough opponent.<\/p>\n

Bisping and Henderson may have had more exciting styles during their prime, but that doesn’t detract from the impact of Covington’s victory.<\/p>\n
“The Count” has been retired from MMA for a good few years now and it’s a good thing that he’s stuck to that retirement, mainly because he was at serious risk<\/a> of going blind.<\/p>\n
\u201cI fight Georges St-Pierre, I lose that fight, and he knew I was blind in one eye \u2013 he targeted it,\u201d Michael Bisping said to\u00a0Submission Radio<\/a>\u00a0(via\u00a0MMAFighting<\/a>). \u201cThen, I fly to Shanghai, couple of weeks later I fight Kelvin Gastelum, I get cracked, I think I\u2019ve had a good run and that was that.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then we go to an after-party afterward. I\u2019m sitting there in this club, and every time I look this way, I get a flash of light. I was like, what was that? So I look again, another flash of light,\u201d Bisping continued. \u201cAnd every time I look to the left, I would get a flash of light. I started panicking because I\u2019m thinking, holy s*it, I don\u2019t believe this, I\u2019ve got a detached retina in my good eye. And I started getting emotional, in a night club. I\u2019ve had a couple of drinks, but I\u2019m like, f*ck, I\u2019m thinking I\u2019m gonna go blind.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a long flight back to [Los Angeles], and I wake up halfway through and I look to my left, and there\u2019s that flashing light. Holy sh*t, I\u2019ve forgotten all about that,\u201d he added. \u201cSo when I land, I call my eye doctor straight away, and he\u2019s like, yeah, you need to go see someone. I go in there \u2014 and whenever I\u2019m uncomfortable, I always use humor as kind of like a mask.<\/p>\n
\u201cI went in and I see this doctor and I say, Listen, doc, I think I\u2019ve got a detached retina in my good eye. And he said, alright, well, let\u2019s take a look, I\u2019m gonna put some drops in you\u2019re not gonna be able to see for a while,\u201d Bisping concluded. \u201cI make a joke, I say, oh well, I guess I better get used to this view, eh? He says, calm down, we\u2019re not there just yet. I was like, we\u2019re not f*cking there just yet? Jesus Christ. I was freaking out. And anyway, turns out I had a vitreous detachment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
