“It’s all I’ve been able to do, I’d lay in bed for four days without moving at all.
“So I was like: ‘Right, I’ve got to do something, I’ve got to move,’ so I went for a little walk, got a bit of sunshine, a bit of vitamin d in the eyes – that circadian rhythm and all of that other b******* that they talk about.
“But I was watching an interview with Stipe and Rebecca’s like: ‘Do you mind? You’re kind of ruining this bloody walk for me you know – trying to enjoy the peace of nature and we’ve got Stipe chatting away!”
Past and present UFC stars sent Bisping wholesome messages after he posted about his tough surgery on Instagram.
Former light heavyweight champion Quinton âRampageâ Jackson said: âHeal fast broâ and current middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis added: âGood luck brother.â
Legendary UFC commentator Bruce Buffer replied: âBest wishes for 100 per cent recovery. You got this Michael! Warrior Spirit Forever!â
