MMABay.co.uk reports that Michael “The Count” Bisping is all set to face Wanderlei “The Axe Murderer” Silva at UFC 105 in Manchester, England.
Bisping is coming off a devastating KO loss to Dan Henderson at UFC 100 whereas Wanderlei is coming off a decision loss to Rich Franklin in what was an exciting fight at a catchweight of 195 pounds. The fight is scheduled to be at middleweight meaning that Wanderlei will have to make the full cut down to 185 pounds this time. Judjing by his last fight, this might be a tough task for the Brazilian superstar. To add to this, Wanderlei has lost 5 out of his last 6 fights and that makes this fight extremely important for him to win.
Should be an absolute war. Bear in mind the papers have not been signed yet, although knowing both fighters, if Joe Silva has approached them with this, the deal should be done soon.
