Wand vs Bisping at UFC 105 Confirmed.

Its the main event.

Dana wants an excuse to put Silva vs Silva. If he beats Bisping, he'll call him a #1 contender and put him in the long line for a crack at the spider (after a tune up fight maybe). If Bisping wins, he gets his UK cashcow back to "legitimate" status.

I am actually a little excited for this fight. If wandy loses he might be shown the door. That would make him 1-6 in his last 7 fights.

Or maybe not....

Wanderlei Silva’s manager has dismissed reports that the Brazilian is signed to fight Michael Bisping at UFC 105.

He contacted the Fighters Only Las Vegas office today with an official statement on the matter in which he said “the rumors about Wanderlei fighting Michael Bisping at UFC 105 in Manchester or at any point are simply that, rumors."

"For some publication to say they have been given an exclusive statement on this from Team Wand is not truthful," he added in a swipe at the blog that reported the fight earlier today claiming to have heard it from a member of Wanderlei‘s team.

“This fight has not been discussed or offered to us by the UFC. Wand's preference is to fight in February. He wants to take time off to heal his body and mind, and with his new gym in Las Vegas, he has business affairs and a growing team to attend to."

Fighters Only was the first to report the possibility of a match between Bisping after a source mentioned the potential match prior to Bisping fighting Dan Henderson.

We also understand that the UFC UK office would like to see the match at UFC 105 at is would be a big draw.

However, with Silva’s management taking such a strong line against the November fight and the Brazilian fighter apparently keen on resting his body, there is a strong chance Bisping will face a different opponent.

Either way I could care less...I'll watch it obviously but that fight really doesnt do much for me
