After meeting face-to-face for the first time at Monday’s TUF Nations Finale open workouts, there was little doubt headliners Michael Bisping and Tim Kennedy would fail to deliver at Tuesday’s weigh-in.
They absolutely did not disappoint, as the two middleweight contenders engaged in a heated staredown just seconds after tipping the scales and making their contest official.
It was clear as the time plenty of words were exchanged, but there was no way to figure out exactly what was said – until now. Up-close video of the encounter has surfaced as UFC President Dana White shared the video on Twitter.
Bisping (24-5 MMA, 14-5 UFC) and Kennedy (17-4 MMA, 2-0 UFC) headline the main card of Wednesday’s event, which takes place Colisee Pepsi in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. The main card airs on FOX Sports 1 following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
