Michael Bisping has caused controversy online after he was caught using a slur.
Bisping was smoothly wrapping up the UFC 298 presentation and clearly thought the broadcast had ended.
But it appears it was still live with his mic on and was caught out.

βWhat a guy. What a night. UFC 298. Anaheim California. Certainly one for the (TV) box,β he said to the camera before a very long pause where he appeared to assume the live feed had been cut.
He then had took the p*ss out of himself for his choice of words.
βWhat a guy? Thatβs f***ing gay.β
