Filed under: Featured , News , UFC , Videos Michael Bisping has gone back and forth in his own mind, and publicly , about whether or not to fight Anderson Silva . Ultimately, his answer was a fairly decisive yes, he said today – but one that comes with an asterisk of sorts. After Silva tested positive for banned substances following UFC 182 and was suspended for a year, Bisping said he doesn’t have the same respect for the all-time great that he used to have.

The UFC Fight Pass-streamed card takes place at The O2 in London. “We’re all chasing a dream – a dream of being a champion,” Bisping said today on a conference call with media members in support of the fight.
