What???

PS - I haven't watched the video yet, but if true, this changes my view of GSP's win against Bisping.

Incredible! How did he see where the strikes were coming from?  Much respect. Anyone with a win against him after he lost an eye should be taken off the record book.

the fact that he can get through medicals with one eye just shows how bad the medical satff are, either they totally ignored it or didnt pick up on it, either way they need a shake up.

Haha yes, imagine he managed to fool them like that with a glass eye.


Totally incompetent people :D


Maybe the medical staff were afraid to mention that his eye looked dodgy (did you just assume my gender/eye???)

Crazy that he won a bunch of fights including the title with only one eye.

It would have freaked everyone out if it popped out during a match.

I didn't think he got it removed till after he retired? Thought it was still fucked up on his Rogan podcast

surely that must be the only way he got past the fight doctors, and still, for it to be so bad he had it removed it must have been pretty fucked up for a while

That may be correct...I recall his eye being...like, vascular.

It looked like a real eye, with veins.

But to have a glass eye now suggests he was likely blind anyway. Why get a glass eye if you have even 25% vision in it?

My uncle had his eye hit with slingshot as a child, and has had a glass eye ever since. I think he was completely blinded in that eye.

Peter Falk [Columbo] had a glass eye. He did an amazing job hiding it, by always looking straight.

You think your uncle was completely blinded in his glass eye? What makes you think that?

I think he means he was completly blinded in his good eye, hence the glass eye,

Lol!  Well...now I can say that for certain. :)  Pre-injury...I think he was blind or close enough...for the doctors to call for its removal.  This would have happened around 1970.  Maybe times have changed, and the threshold to remove an eye and replace it with a glass eye is different.

I would have to ask my mom later today.

Just thinking about it...I would not want to have vision in only one eye.

Not sure about other countries, but in Canada, I think you only need better than 20/40 in one eye.  Or something like that.  But you can definitely legally drive with only one eye - so perhaps people adjust, and it's more like 80% vision than 50% - but you would presumably lose 50% of your peripheral - which in fighting would count for a lot [and ultimately GSP dropped Bisping with an overhand left].

I think he means he was completly blinded in his good eye, hence the glass eye,

Yep. :)

;D

Curious how long it took to reach that conclusion.

Why do you need to get a glass eye if one of your eyes is blind? Can’t you just keep the knackered eye since you can’t see out of it regardless?

Had a childhood friend w/ one eye (Steve Wormald) I called him "The one eyed wonder worm".
He used to freak people out all the time w/ that thing.

Joe Rogan said that Bisping had put oil in his eye because it was injured.

Was it that he just put oil in his glass eye so that it looked like a real eye?  Was that his way to fool the UFC officials?
