Despite Bisping's loss to George St-Pierre in the last entry, he has had an incredible career, make no mistake. He previously had the most fights in UFC until he was overtaken by the previously mentioned Donald Cerrone. Unlike Cerrone though, he has held UFC gold.

At one stage it looked like Bisping although a strong fighter was nothing more than a gatekeeper in the middleweight division. However, after a good string of wins, he shocked the world when he knocked out Luke Rockhold on three weeks notice and became world champion. This win saw him the first (and to date) only British UFC champion.

His super-fight with GSP definitely played a big part in his over $7,000,000 in earnings. Like Cerrone though, most just comes from the sheer amount of fights he's had. Interestingly, Bisping is the only retired fighter on this list.
