Who cares, he did it to himself by continuing to fight. He would have been better off retiring on top after he beat Luke but he did further damage rematching Hendo (which he loss imo) GSP and KG.

can you blame him for wanting some paydays before retiring?

Not when he can have a career as an analyst or commentator which he's very good at and retiring on top which is rare in any sport

It's a prosthetic eye. He can only see out of it when it's hooked fully charged. The newer ones have wireless charging bit the problem is you have to stand with your eye really close to the chargimg pad which you know is borderline socially unacceptable.

You seem to be trying very hard to not understand what Bisping is saying
He's very clearly stated that he can barely see out of it.
He stated that by squinting and turning to certain angles he can barely squeek by to get 20/200 vision, which is basically the ability to make out the silhouette of a person and not much more.
He also stated that he got glaucoma which worsened the eye's condition.
He has pulled out and shown people the prosthetic he wears, which is basically a fancy contact lens that covers the eye so it doesn't look grotesque.
He's talked about how he has almost no vision in his bad eye.
He has plainly stated this and made it very clear.
Why are you so insistent that he's 'on the fence' and 'not being clear about it'?

Of course, why do you think GSP wanted the fight?

Is it not a fake eye? I figured he couldn’t see out of it.

Wait, what? You think you can see out of a glass eye? How would you propose that would work?

Bisping suffered a right eye injury in 2013 in a bout against Vitor Belfort which almost brought him to retirement, but revealed that he’s seen flashes out of his left eye since the Gastelum fight that ended with a vicious KO.
“After the Gastelum fight, I went to a party with all my team,” Bisping said. “We went to a club, and because it was dark, I kept seeing this flash out of the corner of my good eye [Left Eye] I realized there’s no flash going on. It’s just my eye, and every time I look left, it flashes.
“And it still does it now when it’s dark. It’s light now so I can’t see it. So I started freaking out, thinking oh my God, I don’t believe this, I’ve got a detached retina in my good eye. I have problems with my bad eye [Right Eye], it doesn’t look good, so obviously I was kind of freaking out.”
He revealed that doctors told him he had suffered a vitreous detachment in his left eye, which he explained as leaving him vulnerable to having another detached retina.
“My vision (in my right eye) was pretty much non-existent since 2013,” Bisping said. “I was just about able to scrape past the medicals. It was definitely touch and go. I was always terrified of doing a full training camp, then being turned away by the commission doctor.
“It was difficult. To pass the medical test, you’ve got to have 20-200 vision, which is classed as clinically blind anyway, so it’s not very good – it’s not a very hard mark to pass. Some days I could, some days I couldn’t. But fortunately, I was just able to scrape by. People always say: ‘How did you fight with only one eye?’ And I always say: ‘With great fucking difficulty!'”
If with concerns that he could lose vision in both eyes permanently, Bisping said the decision to retire became final during a flight Sunday night where he watched the movie JOURNEYMAN–where an older prizefighter from boxing suffers severe mental and physical problems as a result of brain trauma from fights at the end of his career. Currently there is no system in place for retired UFC fighters to receive on going medical support for injuries sustained during their career.

The guy who has never won a belt was the real champ... Are there other things Romero and Sonnen has in common?

Being that it's a glass eye, I believe him.
