The British legend had to get a cosmetic eye and even fought with it in during his iconic career.

Russian Magomedov also suffered a similar injury earlier in his career which left him with just 60 per cent vision in his right eye.

Bisping, 45, discussed his glass eye in an interview with Magomedov and even took it out.

He said: "Hold on, I'm going to take this out. There we go, now we're brothers!"

Bisping then asked: "Did you ever think about getting on of these?"

But Magomedov opted against it - with his effected right eye now becoming a synonymous part of his character.

Bisping then said: "It doesn't matter, you look good, you own it. 

"I'm a p****, everybody was bullying me online, saying mean things, they hurt my feelings so I tried to hide it."
