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.
