LAS VEGAS – UFC middleweight veteran Brad Tavares has caught up to Hall of Famer Michael Bisping in the record books. On the main card of UFC on ESPN 65 at the UFC Apex, Tavares (21-10 MMA, 16-10 UFC) ended a two-fight skid with a unanimous decision win over Gerald Meerschaert. It was a significant result for Tavares, who proved doubters wrong while also making history . “I think for one, it ties me for the most wins in UFC middleweight history,” Tavares told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a post-fight news conference. “Two, I think it just shows the rest of the division that if anyone thought I was on my way out, or whatever they were thinking, that I’m still here, I’m still learning, I’m still growing. “I feel like I still have room, as crazy as it is, I’ve been in it 20-plus fights, 15 years, and I still feel like I have that mentality that I can do more, I can do better
