Sky News interviews Michael Bisping two weeks after he became Britain's first UFC champion
Sky News interviews Michael Bisping two weeks after he became Britain's first UFC champion

Check out Britain's first UFC champion Michael Bisping explaining his rise to Sky News in this video.

The Lancashire MMA fighter won the UFC middleweight title two weeks ago by knocking out Luke Rockhold, his biggest rival, in Los Angeles. But his path to his greatest moment started over 20 years before.

The 37-year-old had been forced to wait for a decade, spanning a record 26 fights before his maiden world title shot. Now he is the champion, Bisping has indicated that he wants to defend his new belt in Manchester.

Bisping dropped by the Sky News studio to have a chat with Eamonn Holmes about how he got started in this unique sport - and quite what it takes to become a UFC champion.
