Michael Bisping will reserve judgment on 'hero' Anderson Silva's PED use until commission weighs in

UFC middleweight Michael Bisping is getting ready to face Thales Leites in the main event of July's UFC Fight Night 72 in Glasgow, Scotland, but had a few moments to weigh in on the controversy surrounding former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva's alleged performance-enhancing drug (PED) use.

After UFC 183 in January when Silva defeated Nick Diaz via unanimous decision, it was revealed 'The Spider' had failed both pre- and post-fight tests with resulting indicating he had used anabolic steroids. Bisping, who has faced a number of fighters later caught for using PEDs, explained his position on Silva and PED use, generally.
