When he accepted the fight against Michael Bisping No. UFC London, Anderson Silva I already knew that a psychological battle would be taking place before the fight actually took place in the Octagon. Just over a month before the duel at the “O2 Arena”, Bisping began attacking the Brazilian and promised to destroy him, and to top it off, fight for the middleweight title afterwards.

“I'm going to destroy Anderson Silva. I'm telling you right now. My camp is better than ever. I'm performing better. Mentally, I'm way better than I've ever been, and I'm going to destroy this guy. So, after that I'm going towards the people who are rooting for me in London, to make some damn noise and ask for a chance at the title”, said “The Count”, in an interview with the radio program “The Countdown”.
Furthermore, the Briton took the opportunity to look ahead and also launched his provocation at the champion Luke Rockhold. "Luke Rockhold, I have some unfinished business with you. He headbutted me in the first round of our fight. That's what I'm looking for. Will the UFC give him to me? Probably not, but I'll try. I’ll try,” he assured.
The duel between Bisping and Anderson takes place on February 27th, in London (USA). The confrontation will mark Spider's return to the ring after the one-year suspension he received due to two positive results in anti-doping tests in the fight against Nick Diaz. For the Englishman, the duel will be the chance to reach three consecutive victories. Previously, Michael beat CB Dollaway and Thales leites.
