Fans immediately began to think to themselves, ‘ who would be crazy enough to punch a former UFC Champion?’ However, it’s possible that the man who assaulted Bisping had no idea who he was.
Identifying the Puncher
Unluckily for the puncher, Bisping was able to find out who he was thanks to the powers of social media. He posted the image on Twitter, continuing to notify everybody that the man had no control over his punches.

“If you know this guy in New Orleans, tell him he hits like a b***h,” said Bisping.
After the announcement, fans asked Bisping why he didn’t hit the man back after being assaulted. He responded by saying, “I was laughing so hard at how pathetic the punch was I don’t think I could have hit him.”
Usually, assault is a severe offense and not a laughing matter. But, if Bisping can laugh at the situation, so can the rest of the world. Hopefully, the man who punched Bisping lays low for a while. Fans of “The Count” can be wild sometimes. Or, maybe his son will handle it.
