Michael Bisping and his ex-manager got into a scuffle outside a Manchester (U.K.) courtroom before a judge ordered the former UFC middleweight champion to pay more than $400,000 in unpaid commissions. Bisping, 38, has been locked in a bitter dispute with his former rep, Wolfslair MMA Acadeny founder Anthony McGann, over his earnings from a management agreement signed in 2005, according to a report from the Manchester Evening News . After an 11-day trial, Judge Richard Salter ruled Bisping owed McGann £320,000 – or approximately $426,313 – in back pay earned between 2005 and 2011.
