Getting kicked in the face always sucks. It sucks even more when you haven’t signed up for it. In this youtube clip we see Michael ‘The Count’ Bisping doing pads with his long-time coach Jason Parillo at an open workout and misjudges the distance of one of his kicks and cracks Jason right in the chops with a spinning back kick.

Jason shakes it off like a pro and says I’ve got a good chin and I was a boxer. Bisping seems genuinely apologetic and claims it was the first time ever. Plenty of accidents happen in training though, even when doing something as innocuous as holding pads. Just ask Mike ‘Wink’ Winkeljohn.

Bisping then tries to lighten the mood with some self-depreciation I told you I’ve got no power, I’m a pussy. And Jason speculates this moment is going to end up all over social media. Regardless of his perceived lack of power and the accidental kick, Bisping looks pretty good on the pads here with his kicks, even if it is just a for a fan-friendly open workout before his bout with Anderson Silva.

About Michael ‘The Count’ Bisping:

Michael ‘The Count’ Bisping is a long-time UFC middleweight and the winner of the third season of UFC’s long-running Ultimate Fighter series. He fought of light heavyweight on the show and his first few fights in the UFC before dropping down to middleweight which is the better weight class for him.

Bisping, who is primarily a striker, jokes about his lack of power, but is a real threat on his feet. He is a volume striker with great cardio. He usually doesn’t get the big KO but beats guys up and outworks and outperforms them.

Always a hair away from a much longed for title shot, Bisping finally got the big win he has clamoured for when he defeated all time great Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva back in February.
