Michael Bisping vs Dan Henderson
It's been six years since
Michael Bisping initially met Dan Henderson inside the Octagon and a great deal
has changed since that time. Bisping set up together a great series of win to
move to the highest point of the middleweight rankings before winning the title
in June, while Henderson has ricocheted forward and backward amongst wins and
misfortunes in the course of the last couple of years. In any case,
"Hendo" still keeps up the same knockout power that gave him a win in
their first fight.
Michael Bisping will
start his maiden title defence as the principal British UFC champion when he
goes up against Dan Henderson before his home pack in Manchester.
The battle in the early
hours of Sunday morning will offer Bisping a shot at retribution after he was
thumped out by Henderson in destroying design at UFC 100.
