UFC middleweight contender Michael Bisping was recently forced to withdraw from his main event match up against Mark Munoz in his hometown of Manchester, England with an eye injury and now his eye is once again causing some issues.

According to a report on the MMA Underground from forum user John Joe O’Regan, Bisping was recently rushed to the hospital for an unexpected surgery.

O’Regan wrote:

I’m staying at Mike’s for a few days here in LA. I just got in from visiting Alliance in San Diego and saw his girlfriend; she had just got back from taking him to Pasedena hospital. He’s undergoing surgery, his eye was causing him agony apparently.

We hope that Bisping will be okay. After all, this is a man’s vision at stake.

Bisping originally underwent surgery for a detached retina following his bout against Alan Belcher at UFC 159 and he was forced to undergo another surgery recently that caused him to withdraw from his upcoming bout.

Now that there is a third surgery, there is obviously some serious concern.

Let’s all with Michael the best.

UPDATE: Michael Bisping’s manager has said the middleweight “didn’t have emergency eye surgery yesterday. He want to the hospital after feeling pain, but no surgery.”
