He was a favorite of the Emperor Muhammad Shah but was appointed governor of Allahabad in 1739 against his wishes due to the Vizier Qamar ud-Din Khan and re-called to court in 1743 C.E. He was naturally of free speech and the emperor fond of his repartee had him more license in his conversation than was consistent with respect to his own dignity when he was on business with the emperor which by degrees disgusted Muhammad Shah and made him wish his removal from office. He was consequently with the consent of the emperor stabbed with a dagger by a person who had been discharged from his service and fell down dead on the spot. This circumstance took place on Friday the December 26, 1747. He was buried after four days in the mausoleum of Khalilullah Khan his grandfather which is close to the Sarai Ruhullah Khan at Delhi. His poetical name was Anjaam. He composed logo-graphs and has left Persian and Rekhta poems. There is a full account of Amir Khan in the Sujar ul Mutukharin where he is said to have died in the same year as the emperor.

"It was like I was against two people, the referee and Lamont himself," said Khan, dealing with the downer three days after his 25th birthday. "I was the cleaner fighter; he was so wild. The referee wasn't giving me a chance. I heard the referee give me a warning [for pushing], but there was nothing I could do. He kept coming in with his head. There hasn't been [HBO] boxing in DC for the last [18] years because this is what happens. "I had to push him away 'cause his head was coming in so low. He just kept coming in with that head." Peterson said the deductions were legitimate, but what else did you expect him to say? "I think they should have taken points for him holding my head down," Peterson said. "He was pushing a lot, but I didn't mind it. I just didn't like the dipping down of my head." However you scored it, it was a helluva fight, filled with nonstop action that had the crowd on its feet in the return of big-time boxing to the nation's capital. Peterson (30-1-1, 15 KOs), 27, was getting his second title opportunity and made a career-high payday of $650000. He earned every penny of it with his scrappy, never-say-die performance. In 2009, Peterson lost a lopsided decision to Timothy Bradley Jr. and was knocked down in the process. He went down again against Khan (26-2, 18 KOs), who dropped him in the first round. Khan started very fast, catching Peterson with a solid overhand right early on and then wobbling him with another right before dropping him late in the <b>...</b>

Richard John Hatton MBE, more commonly known as Ricky "the Hitman" Hatton, (born October 6, 1978, in Stockport, Greater Manchester, England), is a retired British professional boxer. He is a two-time IBF and IBO light welterweight champion, having relinquished the IBF belt, only to move down a weight class and beat Juan Urango.
He was the WBA Welterweight Champion, but relinquished this title on August 31, 2006. Hatton is also the former WBU, WBA Light Welterweight Champion and WBC, WBA, WBO Inter-Continental Light Welterweight Champion, and former ''Ring'' magazine Junior Welterweight Champion.
After losing his last fight to Manny Pacquiao, Ricky had put his career on a long hiatus, with rumours of a comeback circulating the media since. However on July 7, 2011, Hatton announced his retirement from boxing.
Biography
Born in Stockport, Greater Manchester, Hatton was raised on the Hattersley council estate in Hyde, Greater Manchester and trained at the Sale West ABC on the Racecourse Estate. He was educated at Hattersley High School.Both his grandfather and father played for Rochdale, and Ricky had a trial for the youth team. But Hatton found a local boxing club in Hyde, which he still trains at, and found he enjoyed the sport.
Hatton's entrance music is the Manchester City club song "Blue Moon" as performed by the band "Supra." Aged 14, Hatton was taken by his uncles Ged and Paul to Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium to watch the second fight between Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank.
Hatton joined the family carpet business on leaving school, but after he cut four of his fingers with a Stanley knife, his father made him a salesman to prevent him from losing his fingers.
Boxing career
Hatton's debut fight was on 10 September 1997 against Colin McAuley in Widnes at Kingsway Leisure Centre (he won by a TKO in first round), while in his second fight Hatton boxed at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Fight against Kostya Tszyu
On 5 June 2005 Hatton defeated Kostya Tszyu, then widely regarded as one of the top pound-for-pound boxers in the world by a technical knockout after the Australian failed to answer the bell for the 12th round. Hatton was a heavy underdog for this fight, and the victory announced his entry to the upper echelons of the world boxing scene. Prior to the fight the majority of boxing critics had given Hatton little or no chance and this victory was regarded as one of the best victories by an English boxer in the last 20 years. On 26 November 2005 Hatton won the WBA title when he defeated Carlos Maussa in the ninth round of a unification bout. In December, Hatton was named the 2005 Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year.Hatton relinquished his IBF belt on 29 March 2006 after refusing to fulfil a mandatory defence against number one contender Naoufel Ben Rabah, because he intended to move up to the welterweight class. Hatton signed a three fight contract with Dennis Hobson's fight academy after splitting from long time promoter Frank Warren. The three fights would take place in the United States.
Moving to Welterweight
Hatton moved up a division to meet American Luis Collazo for the WBA Welterweight crown which took place on 13 May 2006. Hatton won the WBA crown from Collazo but struggled with Collazo's slick south-paw style and the extra weight. Hatton started well, knocking Collazo down in the very first few seconds of the first round, but it turned out to be one of the toughest fights of his career, with some boxing analysts believing Collazo won the fight, although many also thought Hatton had done enough early on in the fight to secure victory, with the knock down a pivotal point in the fight.
Back to Light Welterweight
Hatton's first fight back at Light Welterweight was against the current IBF Light Welterweight Champion Juan Urango on 20 January 2007 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Hatton's promoter Dennis Hobson stated that the impetus for moving back down was to set up a fight with José Luis Castillo, a fighter who nearly beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. at Lightweight in 2002. Hatton ended up winning a 12 round unanimous decision against Urango, to re-capture the unified IBF and IBO Light Welterweight titles. He won all but one round on all three judges' scorecards. Castillo, who was on the undercard, also won (via split decision), setting up their long-awaited fight.Hatton was forced to relinquish his IBF title again on 10 February, to be able to fight Castillo. The fight was held on 23 June 2007, at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. In round four, Hatton landed a "perfect" left hook to the liver, which put Castillo to the canvas. Ricky later claimed that 4 of Castillo's ribs were broken with this one punch. Unable to stand up, Castillo was counted out for the first time in his career.
Hatton vs. Mayweather Jr.
Hatton agreed to terms on 27 July for a 8 December 2007 welterweight fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr which was considered to be the biggest welterweight fight since the 1999 clash between Oscar De La Hoya and Puerto Rican legend Felix 'Tito' Trinidad. The MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas was announced as the venue on 17 August 2007. The fight was agreed to less than three months after Mayweather had said he planned to retire following a victory over Oscar De La Hoya.Hatton was able to bring the fight to Mayweather in the early rounds. In the 1st round Hatton caught Mayweather with a left jab which knocked Mayweather off balance. His constant pressure appeared to make Mayweather uncomfortable at first. In the third round, Mayweather landed a right that cut Hatton above the right eye. In round six, referee Joe Cortez took a point away from Hatton after he appeared to hit Mayweather on the back of the head while Mayweather was rested between the ropes. However, the punch was revealed to have hit the rope rather than Mayweather's head but Hatton was warned for punching behind the head on numerous occasions before the deduction. Hatton became angry at the referee's decision to deduct a point from him and turned his back on him in frustration. Hatton would later claim that he had become angry by the referee and that had caused him to lose his calm and contributed to his downfall. Hatton was able to hold his own, until round eight, when Mayweather began to adapt to Hatton and started counterattacking. Mayweather knocked Hatton to the mat in Round 10. Hatton got up, but Mayweather quickly resumed his attack, resulting in Joe Cortez putting a stop to the fight, and Hatton's corner threw in the towel. Mayweather commented post-match that "Ricky Hatton is one tough fighter. He is still a champion in my eyes and I'd love to see him fight again. "Ricky Hatton is probably one of toughest competitors I've faced. I hit him with some big ones but he kept coming and I can see why they call him the 'Hitman'." The fight received large amounts of publicity, with both fighters promoting the fight heavily.
Hatton vs. Lazcano
On 24 May 2008, Hatton beat Mexican Juan Lazcano by unanimous decision with scores of 120-110, 120-108 and 118-110, in front of his home crowd of 55,000 (a post-World War II record for a boxing match in Britain), at City of Manchester Stadium to retain ''The Ring Magazine'' and IBO light welterweight titles. Hatton did well when he boxed and controlled the range, utilizing his jab and dominating a lot of the early exchanges. In round eight, Hatton absorbed a left hook to the chin that wobbled him, and in round ten, Hatton was hurt again by a left hook. Despite that, Hatton outworked Lazcano to win at least ten of the rounds.
Hatton vs. Malignaggi
Ricky Hatton fought Paulie Malignaggi of the United States at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas on 22 November for Hatton's IBO Light Welterweight title and ''The Ring'' Light welterweight title. He was trained for the fight by Floyd Mayweather Sr. Hatton dominated for all of the fight and defeated Malignaggi by 11th-round TKO when Malignaggi's trainer, Buddy McGirt, threw in the towel 48 seconds into the round.
Hatton vs. Pacquiao
Hatton fought Manny Pacquiao on 2 May 2009 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fight was at light welterweight which was the sixth weight category Pacquiao has fought at, and is the weight at which Hatton was previously undefeated. Pacquiao defeated Hatton in the second round by a KO victory, after knocking Hatton down twice in the first round.Following the loss to Pacquiao, Hatton has put his career on a long hiatus. After more than a year out of action, in a June 2010 interview with ''Gulfnews.com'', the British boxer seemed uninterested in coming to the ring again. He stated: "Boxing started off as a habit and it ended up giving me some money and making me a little bit of a better person. But I don't think I will have a fight again. But you can never say never as I have not announced officially that I won't be boxing. At the moment I don't have any fire in the belly for a fight or to get myself to a gym." However, Hatton also added: "But it has been only 13 months and I am only 31, so never count me out."
Hatton has also voiced suspicion that Manny Pacquiao may be using performance enhancing drugs (PED's). The British boxer said he should have made the same blood testing demand as Floyd Mayweather, whose fight against the Filipino fighter fell through in early 2010.
Hatton vs. Morales talks
It was confirmed on 20 April 2011 that there has been some early stage talks between Hatton and Erik Morales. Although the fight would be subject to Hatton regaining his boxing licence after it was revoked in September 2010.
Outside the ring
Hatton is a passionate supporter of Manchester City, with strong links to the club via his father and grandfather, who are both former players. Ricky also once had a trial at City for the youth team. His entrance music is the club's song "Blue Moon" as performed by the band "Supra". Good friend Wayne Rooney, who plays for arch rivals Manchester United, has been with Hatton in his dressing room before a bout and carried one of his belts to the ring. Ricky's best friend is Lee Rawsthorne, who regularly carries Ricky's belt into the ring. Hatton is also good friends with another footballer, Joey Barton, a former Manchester City player. Ricky also follows the non-league football club Hyde United and often attends home matches. In an appearance on ''Al Murray's Happy Hour'' he admitted that if he could hit one celebrity, it would be Cristiano Ronaldo who at the time played for Manchester United.Regarding his nickname, Ricky said, "I've always been a fan of Tommy Hearns, and everybody associates that that's where I got it from, but everybody's a Tommy Hearns fan. I got the nickname the first day I walked in the gym. I was 10 years old and put a pair of gloves on and started walloping the bag, and my amateur coach said, "Look at him, look how evil he is. He's a little Hitman."
Hatton is sometimes referred to by boxing fans as "Ricky Fatton" because he's been known to allow himself to weigh as much as 175 to 180 pounds (35 to 40 pounds over his fight weight) when he's not in training for a fight. Ever since Hatton turned professional, he has always opted to eat a full English breakfast before fights - his favourite place in Hyde is The Butty Box in Mottram Road, where he was interviewed by Gaby Logan for ''Inside Sport;'' and he is known to drink Guinness on Thursday night when he plays darts for the New Inn. Hatton defends his diet, citing that he plans to retire within the next four major bouts - experts have used his ill-balanced diet, akin to Jake LaMotta's ballooning up between fights, to explain his poor performances in recent fights, and nature to tire towards the end of fights. Hatton also appeared on ITV1's daytime show ''Loose Women'' in August 2007, stating that the reason why he puts on weight between fights is because "I have a lot on my plate at the moment".
Hatton appeared on the ''Friday Night with Jonathan Ross'' show in March 2007. When the host, Ross, placed some pads on his hands and gave Hatton gloves to hit them with, he knocked a pad clean off Ross's hand with a powerful left hook. Interviewed on ITV1's ''Parkinson'' on 13 October 2007, at the beginning of the interview, Hatton handed Michael Parkinson a custom made pair of boxing shorts with 'Mike' and 'Parky' written on them, the shorts had the Barnsley emblem on them and were coloured red and blue, Barnsley Football Club's colours, because Parkinson supports Barnsley. While talking about Floyd Mayweather's arrogance, Hatton said "if there was such a thing as re-incarnation, Floyd would come back as himself".
Hatton received the award of MBE for services to sport in the 2007 New Year's Honours List.
In 2008 Hatton started hosting his own live chat show called ''Ricky Speaks'', on Nuts TV.
His father, Ray Hatton said, "We had a conversation with a third party asking whether, if we were approached by the Mayweather team, would a possible rematch be on the cards." Ray also said, "Really at the moment we're looking at Manny Pacquiao. It's very nice for Ricky to still be in such a big league."
Although negotiations stalled at some points, Hatton fought the number one pound-for-pound fighter Manny Pacquiao on 2 May 2009. Hatton hosted the 9 November edition of ''WWE Raw'' defeating Chavo Guerrero in a match.
On 13 September 2010, Hatton was admitted to a rehabilitation facility, The Priory in Roehampton, London, UK, for substance abuse to tackle a drink and depression problem. He was caught on camera apparently snorting class A drugs, lines of cocaine in a Manchester hotel room. Doctors said they were more worried about his depression and alcohol abuse than drug use. Hatton sought medical help two weeks prior, after news emerged about a night out where he drank 11 pints of Guinness, Vodka and Sambucca during the night out with Emma Bowe, 29, the Irish national senior women’s boxing champion. It is now uncertain if he will return to the ring in the future, or will retire as he has already hinted.
Family
Hatton's mother, Carol, still works on the carpet stall on Glossop Market in the Peak District. His father Ray is his manager, and also manages his brother and fellow boxer Matthew Hatton. Ricky and his girlfriend Jennifer Dooley live in his house, the "Heartbreak Hotel" named after his favourite artist Elvis, in Hyde.Hatton has a son, Campbell, conceived after a short reconciliation with ex-girlfriend, Claire. Long before he was a big-money earner, Hatton set up a trust fund to make sure his son was always provided for, and sees him every day.
On 12 September 2010, the Sunday tabloid ''News of the World'' published a front-page story alleging Hatton has been a regular cocaine user with accompanying pictures showing the boxer apparently using the drug. Hatton is said to be "devastated" following the story.
Charity
Hatton is a supporter of ''The Village News'', Haughton Green's local children's newspaper made by children in aid of charity. Hatton supported them at a charity auction by appearing and signing boxing gloves, with the evening raising £1,600. Ricky was also recently a special guest-speaker for The Toby Henderson Trust at a sportsmans' dinner at the Gosforth Marriott Hotel. Thanks to Ricky's help via donations and a highly successful auction, a lot of money was raised for the Centre for First Inistuitives in Crosby Liverpool.
Fans
Hatton has attracted many fans who are very vocal in their support during fights. The main chant is a modified version of the popular Christmas song "Winter Wonderland", with the lyrics changed to promote Hatton.''There's only one Ricky Hatton,'' ''One Ricky Hatton,'' ''Walking along,'' ''Singing this song,'' ''Walking in a Hatton wonderland.''
Hatton fans also like to taunt the opponent by singing "Who are ya?", a popular English football chant.
Along with Floyd Mayweather, Hatton is referenced by New York rapper GZA on the track "Paper Plates" from his 2008 album ''Pro Tools.''

Lamont Peterson (born January 24, 1984 in Washington, DC) is a boxer in the Light Welterweight division.
Background
Peterson and his brother Anthony Peterson are regularly featured on ESPN boxing telecasts, and their story has been frequently discussed on the show. The Petersons were left without parents at an early age, with their father in prison and their mother suffering personal issues. The brothers were reportedly homeless on the streets of Washington, DC for several years. While homeless at age 10, they were noticed by Barry Hunter, a boxing coach. Over time Hunter developed their boxing skills while mentoring them, and both brothers morphed into amateur boxing stars.
Amateur career
Peterson was the 2001 National Golden Gloves Lightweight Champion. He became 141 lbs US champion in 2003. He holds wins over Rock Allen 2003 who beat him twice 2004 in the Olympic box-offs, Mike Alvarado, and Andre Dirrell, as well as 2003 amateur world champion Willy Blain (in 2003).
Pro career
In 2009 Peterson defeated Blain by 7th round TKO to win the interim WBO Light Welterweight World Championship belt. He fought Timothy Bradley for a major title in late 2009, but lost by unanimous decision.On the undercard of Amir Khan vs. Marcos Maidana, Lamont faced title challenger Victor Ortiz on December 11 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas and fought to a majority draw.

Marcos Maidana (born 17 July 1983 in Margarita, Santa Fe, Argentina) is an Argentine professional light-welterweight boxer from José Leon Suarez, Buenos Aires. He is the current World Boxing Association's Super Lightweight champion. His only professional losses have come against Andreas Kotelnik and Amir Khan
Professional career
Fight with Kotelnik
On February 2, 2009, Andreas Kotelnik beat Maidana via split decision. Despite dominating the majority of the fight and heavily damaging Kotelnik's face, Maidana suffered his first professional defeat, with the judges scoring the fight 115-114, 113-115, 115-113 in Kotelnik's favour. The controversial decision had a lot of people questioning the judges.
Fight with Victor Ortíz
Maidana's first fight in America was against Mexican-American Victor Ortíz, on June 27, 2009. Maidana was knocked down three times within the first two rounds, but rallied and came back to beat Ortiz for the interim WBA super lightweight title with a sixth-round TKO victory.
Fight with Victor Manuel Cayo
After his fight with Ortiz, it was rumoured that Maidana would face British boxer, and WBA super lightweight champion, Amir Khan, who won the title after defeating Andreas Kotelnik. However, Khan opted for Paulie Malignaggi as his next opponent. As a result, Maidana was scheduled to fight undefeated Victor Manuel Cayo, whose record included 16 KOs from 24 wins. On March 27, 2010, Maidana knocked out the undefeated Victor Cayo in the sixth round to retain his interim WBA super lightweight title.
Proposed fight with Timothy Bradley Jr.
On April 13, 2010, ESPN revealed that Maidana's June 19 title bout against undefeated WBO junior welterwight champion Timothy Bradley has been postponed due to a back injury suffered by Maidana. Bradley's co-promoter Gary Shaw revealed in the article that the "fight will be postponed for about a month".On May 3, ESPN revealed Maidana had pulled out of the fight yet again, still citing his back as the problem. The fight had already been resheduled from June 19 to July 17, and Gary Shaw has said he hopes HBO will keep Bradley on July 17, even against a different opponent. Subsequently, Bradley went on to face, and beat, Luis Carlos Abregu on July 17.
On August 30 BoxingScene.com published an online interview with Maidana's former promoter Mario Margossian, in which Margossian stated that Maidana's failure to fight Bradley was not hampered by an alleged back injured, but was due to the fact "[Maidana] was afraid to be defeated by Bradley." The interview continued to document how Margossian felt Maidana had "betrayed" him in his decision not to take the fight against Bradley.
However, in an earlier online article, Maidana cites a managerial dispute with Margossian as the reason for the Bradley fight not happening. Maidana claimed that Margossian attempted to defraud him by signing Maidana to fight Bradley without Maidana's consent and without full disclosure of the financial terms offered by Golden Boy Promotions. In subsequent interviews, Maidana again stated that negotiations for the Bradley fight had taken place without his knowledge.
Fight with DeMarcus Corley
After failing to secure the fight with Bradley, Maidana's camp announced that he would face American and former-WBO junior welterweight champion DeMarcus Corley, on August 28, 2010 at the Luna Park Stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Speaking at the press conference on August 25, Maidana said he that he was "ready for a war" with the American.On August 28, Maidana recorded a hard-fought victory over Corley. Despite knocking Corley down in the 7th round, Maidana had to go the distance for only the third time in his career, eventually securing victory via unanimous decision (117-110, 117-110, 115-112). \
Emerging rivalry with Amir Khan
Building on speculation that had begun to surface before his fight with Corley, several sources began naming Amir Khan as Maidana's next opponent with a tentative date - December 11 - set for the fight. Maidana had gone on record before his fight with Corley accusing both Khan and trainer Freddie Roach of "hypocrisy" and openly called out Khan in an interview: }} Khan responded to Maidana via his official Twitter site expressing his hope that "Golden Boy can get the fight in the UK [on] December 11th". On September 15, ESPN revealed that both fighters had agreed to a dance off - that the two would face each other on December 11 at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas.
Khan dominated the fight early and knocked down Maidana in the 1st round with a left hook to the liver, but had to withstand a furious barrage by Maidana in round 10, and continually back up during rounds 11 and 12. Maidana was unable to finish Khan however, who went on to win the fight by unanimous decision. The fight was awarded the Boxing Writers Association of America Award for Fight of the Year.
Action Hero
In the first round against Erik Morales, Maidana came out with ferocity as expected and proceeded to batter his older opponent around the ring. He landed multiple power punches, including an uppercut that opened a huge swelling over Morales' left eye which worsened over the course of the fight, and when the Mexican walked back to his corner having taken a large amount of punishment in the opening three minutes most observers felt their predictions were being fulfilled. The one-sided nature of the bout continued for the next couple of rounds, but then at the end of the third round Morales begin to fight back and landed a hard combination to the head of Maidana and the tide began to turn.From the fourth round onwards and although he was effectively fighting with one eye, Morales gave as good as he got and was landing the cleaner more effective shots, albeit occasionally being swarmed by the sheer number of punches being landed in return by the relentless Maidana. The fight became a see-saw affair and then, in the eighth round, Morales hit Maidana with a huge left hook that almost stopped the Argentinian. The next couple of rounds continued in this fashion, with Maidana using his strength and stamina to bully Morales and the Mexican using his sharper punching and ring intelligence to land effective counters and combinations. The fight was fast turning into a modern classic.
In the "championship rounds" (the eleventh and twelfth), Morales seemed to tire and Maidana took advantage, overwhelming him with his strength and punishing the ageing warrior continually to the head and body. Maidana finished the fight much the stronger of the two and his late surge gave him the win on the scorecards, 116-112 twice with the third judge scoring the fight a draw, 114-114.
Bout canceled due to Guerrero shoulder injury.

Early life
Bisping was born on a British military base in Cyprus in 1979, but moved to Bridlington, East Yorkshire, England when he was a child. Taking an early interest in martial arts, Bisping began training in a traditional form of jiu-jitsu known as Yawara Ryu under Paul Lloyd Davies when he was 8 years old. In 1994, at the age of 15, Bisping competed as an amateur in England's first "no holds barred" competition, a precursor to modern MMA, called ''Knock Down Sport Budo'' (KSBO), organised by Davies.At the age of 18, Bisping decided to abandon his martial arts training in order "to pursue real life". But less than a year later Bisping began training kickboxing and karate on the advice of Alan Clarking, owner of Black Knights gym, who saw potential in the young fighter. Bisping enjoyed a short, but successful kickboxing career, winning the North West Area title and later the Pro British light heavyweight kickboxing title. After again briefly quitting competition in 1998, Bisping returned to kickboxing to take the Pro British light heavyweight title for a second time. Soon after winning his second kickboxing title, Bisping was forced to abandon his full-time training for a "real job". Bisping worked in factories, slaughterhouses, as an upholsterer, a postman, a tiler, a plasterer, a double-glazing door salesman and also a relatively successful DJ around the north-west club scene.
Mixed martial arts career
Early career
Bisping made his professional mixed martial arts debut at ''Pride & Glory 2: Battle of the Ages'' on 4 April 2004, taking a 0:38 rear naked choke victory over Steve Mathews. Just one month later, Bisping scored his first knockout against John Weir at ''UK MMA Challenge 7: Rage & Fury''. In his third MMA match, Bisping became the Cage Rage light heavyweight champion at ''Cage Rage 7'', defeating Mark Epstein by technical knockout. Bisping went on to defend his championship title in a rematch against Epstein at ''Cage Rage 9'' in a knockout victory that solidified Bisping as one of the top light heavyweight fighters in England. It also earned him the moniker "The Great British Hope", by UFC.com.At ''The Ultimate Fight Club UK: Natural Instinct'' on 29 January 2005, Bisping made his cage kickboxing debut against David Brown in a light heavyweight contest. With Brown badly cut, Bisping picked up the win via medical stoppage in round 2.
Bisping, who trains with the Wolfslair MMA Academy, the professional fight team of Cage Warriors, made his debut for the promotion at ''Ultimate Force'' on 30 April 2005, defeating Dave Radford to win the vacant Cage Warriors light heavyweight title. Bisping then competed in another light heavyweight cage kickboxing contest, against Cyrille Diabate at ''CWFC: Strike Force 1'' on 21 May 2005, losing to Diabaté via decision after the end of the first extra round. He captured the FX3 light-heavyweight title on 18 June 2005 and was reigning on UK's major federations. In his first Cage Warriors title defence, Bisping defeated Miika Mehmet at ''CWFC: Strike Force 2'', on 16 July 2005.
In September 2005, Cage Rage stripped the light heavyweight title from Bisping due to "management issues that Michael currently has", though Cage Warriors however stated that "Bisping was willing to defend his title but is being punished by Cage Rage due to his Wolfslair and Cage Warriors links". Towards the end of 2005, Bisping continued to successfully defend the Cage Warriors title against Jakob Lovstad and Ross Pointon in the ''CWFC: Strike Force'' series of events, leading to a record of 10 wins and no losses.
Ultimate Fighting Championship
In early 2006 Bisping was featured on the UFCs ''The Ultimate Fighter'' reality television series as a contestant training under Tito Ortiz. He won a preliminary bout against Kristian Rothaermel by TKO, followed by a semi-final win against Ross Pointon by submission after landing a flying knee and a series of strikes. In the finals, Bisping defeated Josh Haynes by TKO at 4:14 into the second round, making Bisping the second Light Heavyweight winner of ''The Ultimate Fighter'' television series.Five months after his victory in the ''TUF 3'' finals, Bisping was slated to fight Eric Schafer at ''The Ultimate Fighter 4 Finale'', but withdrew because of problems acquiring his visa. The fight was re-scheduled and held on 30 December at ''UFC 66''. Bisping defeated Schafer by TKO at 4:24 in the first round.
On 21 April 2007, Bisping scored a TKO win over Elvis Sinosic at ''UFC 70'' in Manchester, England. Sinosic came out fighting and Bisping eagerly obliged, firing back before throwing the Australian to the canvas. Bisping then launched a vicious ground and pound attack, opening a cut on Sinosic's forehead. In the second round Bisping was knocked down from a knee. Then Sinosic almost secured a kimura before Bisping reversed and pounded away until Steve Mazzagatti stopped the bout at 1:40 of the second round.
Bisping was a special guest referee at the Cage Warriors events ''Enter The Wolfslair'' on 5 March 2005 and ''CWFC: Strike Force 6'' on 27 May 2006.
On 8 September 2007, Bisping faced former Ultimate Fighter 3 rival Matt Hamill in London, England and won a controversial split decision after 3 rounds. Hamill pushed the pace and took Bisping down numerous times in the first two rounds, with Bisping hitting solid strikes and blocking numerous takedown attempts towards the end of the second and in the third round. Both American judges scored the bout 29–28 for Bisping, the lone British judge voted 30–27 for Hamill.
Bisping's next match at UFC 78 against fellow Ultimate Fighter winner Rashad Evans resulted in his first loss, via split decision – 29–28, 29–28, 28–29 for Evans.
Move down to Middleweight
Since the start of his MMA career, people had been advising Bisping that he was a little too small for light heavyweight and would do better at middleweight, and after his loss to Rashad Evans, Bisping decided to drop down a weight division, with Dana White's support. On 19 April 2008 at UFC 83, Bisping made his debut as a Middleweight against Charles McCarthy who had a rather lackluster record in MMA. Bisping won by TKO, as McCarthy was unable to continue after the first round due to a forearm injury he sustained after receiving an unanswered series of knees and uppercuts from Bisping.Bisping's next fight (and second at ), was on 7 June 2008 at UFC 85 in London, against Jason Day. Bisping was originally set to face Chris Leben, but Jason Day stepped in as Leben was incarcerated for 35 days and unable to compete. Bisping won the fight in dominant fashion in the first round, securing two takedowns and applying a high paced pressure; it was his second 1st round TKO in a row.
Bisping headlined UFC 89 on 18 October, in a matchup against Chris Leben, who Bisping was supposed to face in UFC 85. Bisping won a unanimous decision. The judges scored the fight 30–27 (twice), and 29–28 for Bisping. Bisping used effective counter punching in the fight to keep the aggressive Leben at bay. After the fight Leben tested positive for Stanozolol and was suspended for nine months.
After the fight with Leben, Bisping was confirmed as one of the coaches on the ninth season of The Ultimate Fighter. The other coach was American Dan Henderson, whom Bisping would fight after the show ended, on 11 July 2009 at Mandalay Bay at UFC 100. The fight was believed to be an eliminator for the UFC Middleweight Championship top contender spot. Michael had received a high-end Land Rover for being a coach on the show, along with Dan Henderson.
On 11 July at UFC 100, Bisping was knocked out by Dan Henderson with a flush overhand right while he was circling to his left. Henderson followed up with a strike after Bisping had fallen to the ground before the fight was stopped. It marked the first occasion Bisping had ever conceded a knockout loss and also only his second loss in his MMA career to date.
Bisping faced Spirit MC & Pride veteran Denis Kang on 14 November 2009 at UFC 105. Bisping TKO'd Kang in the 2nd round. Kang dropped Bisping with a right hand in the first round which stunned Bisping. Kang followed Bisping to the floor and attempted submissions, but Bisping defended well and neutralised Kang's attacks despite Kang briefly having full mount. In the 2nd round Bisping secured a single-leg takedown and the complexion of the fight changed. He unleashed a ground and pound attack on the Canadian, which Kang failed to recover from. The fight was awarded "Fight of the Night" giving both Kang and Bisping a $40,000 bonus.
Bisping next faced former PRIDE Middleweight Champion Wanderlei Silva on 21 February 2010 at UFC 110. Wanderlei Silva's ability to flurry in the final seconds of the second and third rounds, two knockdowns and an attempted guillotine choke contributed to his victory by a clear unanimous decision (29–28, 29–28, 29–28).
Bisping defeated Dan Miller by unanimous decision on 29 May 2010 at UFC 114.
Bisping faced and defeated Yoshihiro Akiyama on 16 October 2010 at UFC 120, winning 30–27 on all three judges' scorecards. The fight was awarded Fight of the Night honours. Though Bisping was rocked early in the fight by Akiyama, he regained his composure and landed combos repeatedly on Akiyama to sweep all three judges scorecards.
Bisping faced off in an emotionally charged fight against Jorge Rivera on 26 February 2011 at UFC 127. Both fighters had trash talked each other before the fight, having to be restrained at the weigh-in during a verbal argument. Bisping dominated the first round scoring a few takedowns until he delivered an illegal knee to the head of Rivera. A point was taken from Bisping and, after a lengthy halt to the action, the fight continued. The fight ended with a TKO from Bisping in the second round. After the fight Bisping spat at Rivera's corner and confronted Rivera on pre-fight comments that Bisping thought disparaged his family. Rivera denied the comments and tried to mend things but Bisping told him to "Go home" and called him a "loser." In the aftermath of the incident Bisping faced "disciplinary actions" and was fined. Multiple fighters have since come forward saying they want to fight Bisping in light of the incident including UFC middleweight notables Chael Sonnen, Vitor Belfort, Demian Maia, Alan Belcher, and Nate Marquardt.
On 27 May 2011, it was revealed that Bisping would be one of the coaches of The Ultimate Fighter Season 14, opposite to Jason Miller.
Bisping is expected to face Jason Miller on 3 December 2011 at The Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale.
