"I've loved every minute of it and I've lived my dream," he told Davies. Bisping has advice for young fighters. "Anybody listening, any aspiring fighters - wear your head gear. I do now. I never spar without it now but all my life I never wore head gear. I was macho, I said I didn't need it, I don't get hit, I'm tough, I'm elusive, I've got good head movement, I'm fast and plus, I can take a punch... so who cares? But it's the years of sparring with no head gear thats ultimately led to this [the eye injury]. I'm positive of that."
