Michael Bisping has longed for a fight with UFC legend Anderson Silva, and this Saturday he'll finally face "The Spider". Silva obviously is no longer champion, with his reputation damaged after the suspension for PED use last year. This is still an important fight for both men, as Bisping figures to get his elusive title shot with a win against Silva, while Anderson could climb back into the title picture if he can become the first man to defeat Bisping in his home country.
The night's co-main event is also a key one for the middleweight division. Thales Leites, who lost to Bisping last July, will take on Gegard Mousasi, who is in must-win mode after his shocking knockout loss to Uriah Hall in September.
