Back in 2021, Bisping underwent anterior cervical discectomy in California to fix a ruptured disc in his neck. He shared gruesome details of the surgery on Instagram, writing:

"Last one, hopefully. This is a decent one. Anterior Cervical discectomy. They enter through an incision in the front of my neck. Push all my throat and insides to one side to reveal my spine. Then they remove a disc, insert a titanium plate, screw in 4 screws, and shave down some bone... Spurs in the spine and stitch me back up."

Michael Bisping rips Jake Paul and calls upcoming fight against Mike Tyson a "joke"

Jake Paul is set to take on boxing legend Mike Tyson on Nov. 15 after their originally scheduled fight fell apart when Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up aboard a plane. The event will be streamed live on Netflix from AT&T Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

The 31-year age gap between the combatants has been a major sticking point as several combat sports stars and fans have disparaged Paul for orchestrating the fight. Michael Bisping, who isn't particularly a fan of Paul's trend of picking fights against older MMA fighters, lashed out at 'The Problem Child' after a recent press conference for the Tyson bout.

Reacting to the fight on his YouTube channel, Bisping said:

"We know the fight is a joke, let's be honest. Let's see if the press conference delivers - see if it can get us any more excited for this absolute s***show. This farce of a fight. I'm not very convinced it will... First of all, trash talk is terrible. All he can do is resort to going 'F**k you, New York, f**k you New York... you're what Mike Tyson was, good 20 years ago."
