— Shortly after his devastating knockout loss to Dan Henderson, Michael Bisping was listed as a likely opponent for Wanderlei Silva as a UFC 105 main event. That fight no longer appears to be on the card.
Bisping ended rumors of the fight in a blog post this week.
“Quick update on the potential Wanderlei Silva fight,” wrote Bisping. “Unfortunately that’s not gonna happen. He’s undergone facial surgery, so obviously won’t be fighting in the near future. Rumours are he’s actually out for the rest of the year.”
Bisping added that he is unaware of his new opponent for the event; since it is England, however, UFC definitely wants to get Bisping on the card.
