Perennial UFC middleweight contender Michael Bisping eked out a razor close split decision victory over resurgent contender Thales Leites in the main event of UFC Fight Night 72 this past Saturday afternoon (July 18, 2015). Earning his first back-to-back victories since 2011, MMAmania.com ponders what could be next for "The Count."
After winning four straight fights inside the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Octagon from 2010-2011, Michael Bisping was one win away from an elusive UFC title shot when he ran into former No. 1 contender Chael Sonnen at UFC on FOX 2.
In a highly competitive affair, Bisping lost a unanimous decision to "American Gangster," which set off nearly a three-year skid that saw the Englishman exchange wins and losses in eight fights.
