JRE MMA Show #187 with Robert Whittaker · Aired Oct 22, 2026
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Michael Bisping fought eleven fights with one working eye and memorized an eye chart.
The finding
What remains unresolved
Joe gives an exact eleven-fight count and an eye-chart story. The conversation later identifies a Reddit comment as support for the chart anecdote. Serious eye impairment, total blindness and the point at which either began are distinct. We did not establish a dated first-person or medical record for this exact combined account.
No supporting source was captured. This finding should not be treated as a sourced conclusion.
Quick answer & review status
Quick answer
Is it true that Michael Bisping fought eleven fights with one working eye and memorized an eye chart?
We can't say yet. Joe gives an exact eleven-fight count and an eye-chart story. The conversation later identifies a Reddit comment as support for the chart anecdote. Joe Rogan said it (matched by voice) on JRE MMA Show #187 with Robert Whittaker, aired Oct 22, 2026, at 1:51:55. We couldn't settle it from the evidence we captured, so it stays an open question, not a false claim. No supporting source was captured, so don't treat this as a sourced conclusion.
