This date in MMA history: Michael Bisping’s wild, bloody and bizarre win over Anderson Silva

BAD MMA News — Sun, 27 Feb 2022 21:14:30 +0000

Six years ago Sunday, Michael Bisping picked up what was at the time the biggest win of his career. Fighting in his home country of England for the first time since 2010, Bisping battled former middleweight champion Anderson Silva for 25 minutes in a Fight of the Night winner that had Bisping bleeding all over the canvas – and a crazy end to the third round. In the end, Bisping won a unanimous decision with 48-47 scores across the board at The O2 in London on Feb. 27, 2016. The result had the British fans in an uproar, and Brazil’s Silva in disbelief. Below, relive Bisping’s big win over Silva that was his final bout before his shot at champion Luke Rockhold’s 185-pound belt on short notice later that year.

The night I beat Anderson Silva

BAD MMA News — Thu, 27 Feb 2020 19:42:42 +0000

The following abridged excerpt is from Michael Bisping’s autobiography “Quitters Never Win: My Life in UFC,” in which Bisping recalls the night he earned one of the most memorable victories of his career, surviving a near knockout to take home a hard-fought decision win over all-time great Anderson Silva in London. (Editor’s note: It has not been altered from the original version; strong language is included.) **** When people say Anderson “The Spider” Silva is the greatest pound-for-pound fighter in the history of the UFC, they are just reading a label that’s been attached to the Brazilian since 2006. The term “P4P” and even his statistics – record longest title reign in UFC history (2,457 days), record longest winning streak in UFC history (16), record number of knockdowns in UFC history (17), and on and on – don’t really describe how good a fighter he was

The year so far: The best UFC photos from February with feet on faces and plenty of blood

BAD MMA News — Wed, 19 Oct 2016 00:10:41 +0000

Filed under: Featured , Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos Every now and again, we go through a lull in the UFC’s typically jam-packed schedule. Welcome to that lull. Think about this for a minute: Starting July 7 with UFC Fight Night 90, and ending with UFC 204 on Oct. 8, a stretch of 93 days, the UFC put on 15 shows. That’s one event every six days or so. After the cancellation of UFC Fight Night 97, we won’t see another show until UFC Fight Night 98 in Mexico City on Nov

Video: Watch Michael Bisping’s win over Anderson Silva that led to UFC 199 title shot

BAD MMA News — Tue, 24 May 2016 15:06:14 +0000

Filed under: News , UFC , Videos It wasn’t easy for Michael Bisping to finally get his long-awaited UFC middleweight title shot. Bisping (28-7 MMA, 18-7 UFC) got the shot against champion Luke Rockhold (15-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) courtesy of an injury to former champ Chris Weidman (12-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC), of course. And now he’ll go after the belt in the UFC 199 main event on June 4 at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. But to get consideration, Bisping had to win his past three bouts – all after a submission loss to Rockhold in November 2014. And included in that bunch was a “Fight of the Night” win in February in front of his home fans in England over none other than the man considered the greatest of all time, Anderson Silva .

Anderson Silva rep wants rematch with Michael Bisping, who has eye on Nick Diaz

BAD MMA News — Mon, 29 Feb 2016 19:58:17 +0000

As a “solution” to Anderson Silva ’s decision loss to Michael Bisping at this past Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 84, Silva’s rep is proposing a rematch in the ex-champ’s native country. Ed Soares, Silva’s longtime manager and translator, on Sunday posted to Instagram a picture of the middleweights with the caption, “I don’t agree with the decision but tell me what you think of this solution. Rematch in Brazil, if @spiderandersonsilva (wins) we have the Trilogy in Vegas?” Despite a previous rant at Silva (33-7 MMA, 16-3 UFC) for steroid use, Bisping (28-7 MMA, 18-7 UFC) heaped praise on the ex-champ following their five-round fight, which streamed live on Fight Pass from The O2 in London. But it appears Bisping might already have moved on to another target – Nick Diaz (26-10 MMA, 7-7 UFC). Predictably, the former Strikeforce champ wasn’t all that impressed by Bisping’s performance, using a meme to express his opinion on Twitter . That didn’t escape the Brit’s attention.

Pink slip or not, Brad Pickett likely would’ve retired with UFC Fight Night 84 loss

BAD MMA News — Mon, 29 Feb 2016 16:15:27 +0000

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos LONDON – Whether or not the UFC would have cut him after a four-fight skid, Brad Pickett planned to retire if he had some up short at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 84 event. Thankfully for Pickett (25-11 MMA, 5-6 UFC), it’s a scenario he didn’t have to worry about. The 37-year-old bantamweight halted a three-fight skid and edged Francisco Rivera (11-6 MMA, 4-4 UFC) via narrow split decision in a UFC Fight Pass-streamed main card bout at The O2 in his hometown of London. Pickett, one of only two men to defeat current UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson, has picked up seven fight-night bonuses during his UFC/WEC career, but after struggling to register wins, retirement was on his mind. “I was fighting for my job in there, in my eyes,” he said after the event.

Did Bisping and Silva give UFC Fight Pass the push it needed?

BAD MMA News — Mon, 29 Feb 2016 16:15:26 +0000

It was an “historic night beyond our wildest dreams,” according to Eric Winter, the senior vice president and general manager of UFC Fight Pass. Michael Bisping ’s unanimous decision victory over Anderson Silva at UFC Fight Night 84 in London made for an entertaining and at times strange main event , but it also helped Fight Pass “break all records” for new customers and “peak concurrence” (in other words, people watching the live show all at once) – again, according to Winter . If true, it’s good news for Fight Pass.
