In the main event of the UFC's first foray into Scotland, Michael Bisping took on Thales Leites. While the Chris Lebens, Chael Sonnens and Mark Munozes have moved on to greener pastures, Bisping and Leites continue to post wins in today's middleweight division. Both men entered the cage knowing that only one of them would leave with their top-10 relevance intact, making this a deceptively high-stakes affair for an overseas Fight Night.
The first two rounds were an utter tossup. Bisping sidled the cage, looking to counterpunch as Leites plodded forward throwing fastballs. Both rounds could have gone either way, but Leites asserted himself in Round 3, landing several brutal combinations and visibly wobbled Bisping at one point.
