I didn't think I'd be typing this in 2016, but Michael Bisping and Dan Henderson are fighting for Bisping's UFC middleweight title. This is real life. What a time to be alive. Seven years ago, Henderson delivered the H-Bomb at UFC 100 and Bisping became the subject of MMA memes for all eternity. In just two months, Bisping will get the chance to avenge his loss against Hendo, who plans to retire regardless of the outcome in Manchester, England.
Bisping vs. Hendo isn't the only major middleweight bout on the card. Gegard Mousasi is finally getting that coveted fight with Vitor Belfort, albeit with Belfort looking absolutely awful in his last fight against Jacare Souza. A new addition to the card (as of today) is a bantamweight bout between Iuri Alcantara and Brad Pickett, which was moved from September 3rd to October 8th after Pickett suffered a minor injury in training.
Here's the current fight card so far:
Michael Bisping vs. Dan Henderson
Vitor Belfort vs. Gegard Mousasi
Jimi Manuwa vs. Ovince Saint Preux
Ruslan Magomedov vs. Stefan Struve
Adriano Martins vs. Leonardo Santos
Iuri Alcantara vs. Brad Pickett
