Michael Bisping wasn’t interested in taking time to lick his wounds after losing the middleweight championship to Georges St. Pierre at UFC 217.
So when the word arrived that Kelvin Gastelum needed an opponent at UFC Fight Night 122 after Anderson Silva failed a USADA drug test, “The Count” jumped at the opportunity.
“It takes a little bit of the pressure of you. Obviously I had the belt. Now it’s not maintaining the championship, it’s about going out and having a good fight,” Bisping said during a recent media call.
