Bipsing Looking For Another Beating [UPDATED]

UFC middleweight Michael Bisping apparently didn’t learn his lesson after getting brutally knocked out by Dan Henderson at UFC 100.

MMABay.com is reporting that Bisping will face off against Wanderlei Silva at UFC 105 when the UFC returns to Manchester, England.

Wandi most recently fought at UFC 99 where he lost via decision to Rich Franklin.

The fight with Bisping would be Silva’s first UFC fight at middleweight and, in my opinion, will end just as brutally for Bisping.

** UPDATE **

Not so fast says Wanderlei’s camp. According to Wandi’s manager, Rob Cardenas:

“That fight hasn’t been offered, discussed, or even addressed by and between the UFC and Wanderlei or any member of Wanderlei’s management,” Cardenas told MMAWeekly.com Thursday afternoon.

“Wanderlei wants to wait until February to fight, and that’s coming from Wanderlei and Alejarra (Silva’s conditioning coach), who I spoke with this morning,” continued Cardenas. “In fact in a recent interview that we just completed, he’d like to fight Dan Henderson next, which he understands isn’t going to happen for a while because Dan is fighting Rich Franklin.”
