MMABay can EXCLUSIVELY reveal that a middleweight bout between Wolfslair MMA Academy star, Michael Bisping and former light heavyweight champion, Vitor Belfort has become a real possibility to headline UFC 120 on October 16th following results in Las Vegas this weekend.
The promotion had been in favour of a fight between the Brit and Japanese superstar, Yoshihiro Akiyama at the event in London, England, but those plans have been scrapped after Chris Leben upset the applecart at UFC 116.
A source close to the situation revealed earlier today that the UFC are now in favour of matching Bisping up with Vitor Belfort, a fighter who hasn’t seen action since he knocked out another former champion, Rich Franklin in September. It was also revealed that verbal agreements have been obtained from at least one fighter.
Bisping was last seen in action in May when he defeated tough-as-nails middleweight, Dan Miller over three rounds at UFC 114.
