Train with the first British UFC Champion this August in Phuket—Bisping joins a legendary lineup of icons to visit Bangtao.
Phuket, Thailand – Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA is proud to welcome UFC Hall of Famer and former Middleweight World Champion Michael “The Count” Bisping for an exclusive two-day seminar this August 9 & 10, 2025—marking his first-ever appearance at our world-renowned facility.
A trailblazer for British MMA, Bisping’s career is one of grit, determination, and legacy. After winning The Ultimate Fighter Season 3, he made history by becoming the first British fighter to capture UFC gold—stepping in on short notice to deliver a stunning first-round knockout of Luke Rockhold. Known for his volume striking, legendary toughness, and outspoken personality, Bisping retired with 30 professional wins, including 20 victories in the UFC—solidifying his place among the sport’s all-time greats.
Now, for the first time in Phuket, fans and fighters will get the chance to learn directly from the man who defied the odds and left an indelible mark on the sport.
