Michael Bisping was nearly the victim of a notorious serial killer that terrorized northern England two decades ago.
In August 2021, 'The Count' revealed on

Bisping continued, “He drops the petrol canister and kind of looks at me a bit weird; he pulls his jacket to one side and pulls out a lump hammer… and he just comes storming towards me like that and I’m like, oh my god!

He throws my ironing board at me, I knock that out of the way, and I’m chasing after him—now I’ve only got a pair of shorts, no shoes… He gets away.
As it turns out, the unidentified assailant may have been England's infamous 'Hammer Killer.'
