One of the most notable figures in MMA history has decided to hang up his gloves as former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping officially announced his retirement Monday.

Bisping (30-9 MMA, 20-9 UFC) has been a mainstay on the UFC roster for more than 12 years after joining the organization through “The Ultimate Fighter” reality series. His 29-fight run in the octagon was filled with twists and turns, but “The Count” was always able to keep himself relevant until finally reaching the apex of the sport when he claimed the UFC middleweight title at UFC 199 in June 2016.

The Brit will remain part of the MMA world going forward as a podcast host and analyst for FOX Sports, so his retirement is hardly a complete goodbye. However, Bisping claims that he’s put on his gloves and stepped in the octagon for the final time.

Bisping, 39, put together a UFC tenure that the overwhelming majority of athletes in the sport could only dream of. His resume is as deep as any in the promotion’s history, and with his retirement official, here’s a look back at all his career statistics and accomplishments one final time.
