Bisping on Silva's non-handshake: It's 'a sign of weakness'

Michael Bisping offered Anderson Silva a handshake in London but was refused - the Brit says it was a sign of weakness.

Michael Bisping and Anderson Silva have playfully taunted each other ahead of their middleweight scrap at UFC Fight Night 84 this weekend in London.

"The Count" mocked Silva's failed drug test at a media scrum earlier this month and the former Middleweight champion seemed to take it in his stride. The tempo changed, however, at a recent staredown in front of the Tower Bridge in London, England.
