Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Michael Bisping is missing an eye.
The finding
What the evidence shows
Michael Bisping isn't missing an eye, it's still there, but the claim isn't far off either. A head kick from Vitor Belfort in 2013 detached his retina, and he eventually lost all vision in that eye. He now wears a cosmetic lens over it, which probably explains the confusion.
