Michael Bisping has the fight he has wanted for years, and he gets it in front of a partisan home crowd. He could not have asked for a better setup.
Bisping clocked in at 185 pounds for his five-round showdown with former Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight titleholder Anderson Silva (186) in the UFC Fight Night 84 main event on Saturday at the O2 Arena in London. Middleweight co-headliners Gegard Mousasi (185) and Thales Leites (186) also met their contracted weight requirements without issue at Friday’s official weigh-in.
