Reason: Who doesn't want to see Michael Bisping beat up? Michael Bisping is well known as the English Chael Sonnen, only without the wit and charm. He's got an ego, an attitude, and while he's a top fighter in the cage, he has struggled against top five competition. Despite this, Bisping has been after a title shot for what seems like forever. He's talked about fighting Silva in the past, and Silva was open to a Bisping fight in year's gone by. The fans love to hate him. He'd probably lose - but this fight would sell like hotcakes. It would do gangbusters in the UK. Why not give the fans, and Bisping, what they want? It worked out great with Luke Rockhold after all!
