I would pass tests somehow but even one site in the commission at the day of the weigh ins, they want to check your vision... The fight was the easy part. Because I was always terrified - I'm spending all this money on a training camp, I putting all this effort into it, I'm going to fly off to wherever it is and day before the fight I'm going to get pulled from the fight. So the stress was major... The stress was insane.
Despite doctors advising him to retire, Bisping continued fighting, hiding his eye injury the best he could for fear of losing his career. When Bisping went completely blind in the right eye, it was a huge challenge for him to pass the pre-fight tests for vision. While Bisping would scrape by most tests, he was still highly anxious until the day of the weigh-ins, when the state athletic commission does another vision test.
