Dana White: Michael Bisping to Make First Title Defense Against Dan Henderson
It appears that Michael Bisping will finally get a chance to avenge the brutal knockout loss to Dan Henderson that occurred at UFC 100 some seven years ago — only this time the stakes will be even higher.
UFC President Dana White announced on Fox Sports 1 Saturday night that Bisping’s first middleweight title defense will be against Henderson. The promotion is targeting Manchester, England, for the bout, but the location is not set in stone.
“We’re going to do Dan Henderson vs. Michael Bisping,” White said. “It’s a fight that the champ wants. It’s a fight that the fans want. We’re thinking about doing it in Manchester, England. But that’s not signed yet.”
