Michael Bisping Robbed In Hawaii, Suffers Near Death Experience

UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping recently took a family vacation to Maui, Hawaii. However, it would appear that the UFC champion’s experience was less than relaxing.

On his podcast Believe You Me, Michael Bisping revealed that he recently had a near death experience while out on vacation with his family. Beyond that, the fighter was robbed on two occasions during his trip.

As transcribed by MMA Fighting, Michael Bisping explained that his vehicle was broken into during the family vacation.

“We walked up to the car, and [son] Callum said ‘someone smashed the window.’ I thought he was kidding, ‘the little f*ucker,’ but lo and behold, [someone] smashed the window. My wife had left her bag in the trunk, [they] smashed the window, grabbed that and all the clothing, of course we were swimming, so I just had a tiny pair of shorts on, my wife was in a bikini. That’s kind of how we were dressed. All the clothes, stuff like that, all stolen, including my wallet, everything.”

However, the UFC champion suffered another theft during his trip.

“The hire car, we were supposed to take it right back, but you don’t want to waste a half a day, taking a f*cking rental car back. So I’ve yet to do that. We drive around with a smashed window and we got robbed a second time. My running shoes and stuff like that, I left them in the next day and when we got back the car back, someone had stuck their hand in and taken the running shoes.”

While Michael Bisiping and his family were victim to theft, the fighter then revealed that he had a near death experience during the trip as well.

“We went out with Kendall Grove and his family. We went out to the beach, great day. We had kayaks and paddle boards, stuff like that. So we say, let’s go out on the paddle boards and go out to that cliff [in the distance].”

He continued, “The wind’s picking up, we better head back. It’s me and my daughter on a paddle board. Balancing on a paddle board is not my forte, let me tell you that. Especially when there’s two people on there and the winds are blowing.”

“We’re pretty far out, the cliffs were 200-300 meters away and we’re drifting further and further out. I’m like ‘holy s*hit,’ I don’t want to say anything to my daughter but I’m panicking a little bit, you know what I mean?” The fighter added.

“I jump off, my daughter’s on the paddle board, we’re drifting further and further out to sea,” he said. “I’m trying to swim and I’m starting to panic, we’re getting nowhere.”

Michael Bisping then concluded, “Me being a macho d*ckhead, I go ‘yeah yeah yeah I’m fine, I’ll swim back,’ because I assume there’s no room for me,” Bisping said. “So they all disappear, go off in the distance and I’m thinking ‘I don’t f*cking believe this, me, and my ego, rather than just say ‘I need help also,’ I’m going to drown now.”
