Spider wants to fight Bisping in UK

"The British fans are very knowledgeable and passionate about MMA. I would love to fight there once more. Michael Bisping is very impressive. He's been in the UFC for a long time now and beaten some very good fighters. It would be an honor to fight him, perhaps in England. He is fast, is very busy and makes adjustments quickly. I am the champion of the world, not just Brazil or America. Being a world champion means taking on the best fighters from around the world all over the world. If the chance came I would like to fight Bisping in the UK if that's what the UFC put together."

Nice bounceback fight after Vitor puts him to sleep. Good idea Anderson

I agree, while Vitor fights Okami, Spider can knockout Bisping.

Let's hope so.

Okami is much more deserving than Bisping of a title shot, who ever that is against.

I think Okami gets next shot regardless. He's gone on a tear lately where his only loss was to the last guy to fight for the title. Before that his only UFC loss was to the last guy to hold the belt in Rich Franklin. If Yushin doesn't get next after Vitor it would be a travesty especially with how he's beaten his recent opponents.

Not to mention the fight with Nate was for a shot at the spider

Especially now with Sonnen's automatic rematch no longer upheld.

So basically Anderson knows Bisping would be an easy fight for him...

On Okami/Bisping, no doubt Okami deserves a shot over Bisping, there might be ohers more deserving then Bisping as well, but Okami isn't even close to as marketable a matchup as Bisping which worries me.

I thought Okami had guaranteed shot already?

With Dana nothings guaranteed...

If Silva loses to Vitor Okami I see him making a run for the LHW title. There are alot of big fights for him there.

That makes sense to me also Beast.

What if Bisping won this fight if it happened?

Say Silva loses to Belfort (which I think will happen), and then loses to Bisping.

Do you think the UFC lets him continue to fight like they did with guys like Liddell, Coleman and Couture, even if he starts a losing streak?

That's pretty weak. I understand the ufc wanting to make that fight but it's never good when a fight looks past his opponent. Seems like he's preparing for a loss to Vitor
