Filed under: Featured , News , UFC SHANGHAI – A brutal knockout loss to Kelvin Gastelum hasn’t changed former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping ’s plans for retirement. He still plans to call it a career on home soil in March. “Kelvin’s a great guy, but unfortunately, it’s going to take a bigger pile of (expletive) than him to get rid of me,” Bisping jokingly told UFC commentator Jon Anik after his short-notice loss in the headliner of UFC Fight Night 122, which took place Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai, China, and streamed live on UFC Fight Pass. Anik had asked whether Gastelum’s (30-9 MMA, 20-9 UFC) win might shelve the ex-champ’s desire to fight at UFC Fight Night 127, which takes place March 17 at The O2 in London. The knockout loss marked the second time in three weeks Bisping (14-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) had been sent to the canvas after losing his belt in a third-round technical submission loss to Georges St-Pierre at UFC 217
