London, UK – Britain’s most successful mixed martial artist and UFC® athlete, Michael Bisping, will make history on October 8 at the Manchester Arena, as he defends the UFC middleweight belt in his home town against American MMA legend, Dan Henderson.
Bisping became the first British athlete to win a UFC title on June 4 at UFC 199, when he upset then champion Luke Rockhold on two weeks’ notice. Just four months earlier, he beat one of the best pound-for-pound athletes in the world, Anderson Silva, in an incredible performance at London’s O2 Arena
