4 Main Card Predictions For UFC Fight Night: Bisping vs. Le

Michael "The Count" Bisping returns to action against fighter/actor Cung Le August 23rd in Macau, China!

Michael "The Count" Bisping returns to action against fighter/actor Cung Le August 23rd in Macau, China! Once again, the UFC is bringing you two events in a single weekend, and first up is UFC Fight Night: Bisping vs. Le, otherwise known as UFC Fight Night 48. Taking place one again in Macau, China, the UFC is returning to the Asian market with an exciting main event that has little relevancy on paper - but a lot of relevancy to the careers of both Michael Bisping and Cung Le. If Bisping vs. Le is something of a spectacle fight, then the co-main event of the evening does promise to have an impact on its division, as fourth ranked welterweight Tyron Woodley, coming off a definitive loss to Rory MacDonald, looks to right the course against ninth ranked Dong Hyung "Stun Gun" Kim. Kim is on a solid four-fight win streak, and a victory for the South Korean fighter would have him one fight, or an injury away, from potential title contention. For Woodley, meanwhile, a loss would mean a bump to the back of the 170lb line, while a win puts him right back in contention. It's a critical fight for both men, and while Le vs. Bisping is what you can expect people to be talking about most, Woodley vs. Kim is a fight you don't want to miss. The event will be airing on UFC Fight Pass, and will get underway at 9AM EST on Saturday (mid-afternoon for viewers in the U.K.), so it looks to be a day full of solid action for UFC fans, as UFC Fight Night 49 will air later in the evening. Lets take a look at how this card might play out with four main card predictions for UFC Fight Night: Bisping vs. Le.
