Michael Bisping's son suffers first amateur MMA loss by TKO

Callum Bisping, the son of Ultimate Fighting Championship Hall of Famer Michael Bisping, has suffered his first defeat in amateur mixed martial arts.

Callum Bisping, 25, the son of UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping, faced his first amateur MMA defeat as he lost by second-round technical knockout in a bout at Sundown 2 in Los Angeles last weekend. The fight footage has sparked comparisons to a similar moment in his father's career. Callum's amateur record now stands at 2-1 after his debut victory by unanimous decision in December and a first-round technical knockout in April.

Fans of Michael Bisping have observed similarities between the finish of his son's latest bout and his own loss to Dan Henderson at UFC 100. Despite his father's initial concerns about Callum's aspirations to become a professional fighter, hinting that the young man has the intellect to excel in other pursuits, Michael has promised his backing should his son decide to pursue a career in MMA.
