The UFC made its first appearance in Europe in 2016 as UFC Fight Night 84 takes place from the sold-out O2 in London.
The main event features Anderson Silva, former middleweight champion and perhaps the greatest fighter in MMA history, taking on England's Michael Bisping. This is a fight Bisping wanted when Silva was on top of the middleweight division.
Silva is coming off a no-contest against Nick Diaz at UFC 183 in January 2015. He won the fight by unanimous decision but failed tests for performance-enhancing drugs. "The Spider" was suspended one year by the Nevada Athletic Commission.
