Bisping became the first British champion in UFC history by beating Luke Rockhold in Los Angeles at UFC 199 last month.
It was an historic moment for UK mixed martial arts and ended Bisping’s long wait for a shot at gold, duly delivering a title at his first attempt.
And as part of his homecoming, Bisping took in Manchester United’s Old Trafford stadium, accompanied by his new travel partner, the UFC middleweight title.
