Just three weeks after losing the middleweight title, Michael Bisping returns Saturday to headline another card.
Bisping (30-8 MMA, 20-8 UFC) stepped up on short notice to fight Kelvin Gastelum (13-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) in the UFC Fight Night 122 main event, which takes place Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai. The entire card streams on UFC Fight Pass.
The card needed a new headliner when another former champ, Anderson Silva, was flagged for a potential doping violation and pulled from the fight with Gastelum. Bisping stepped up to save the day, saying he wanted to get the bad taste out of his mouth from his submission loss to Georges St-Pierre that cost him his title.
Ahead of the main event, UFC broadcaster Dan Hardy breaks down the fight. Check out Hardy’s analysis in the video above.
