“That was the biggest moment of my fighting career,” Bisping said. “My career and that of Anderson Silva they walked in parallel for almost ten years. This is a guy I wanted to fight for so long... He was the poster boy of the UFC for so long... He was the guy who was dominating the audience, I myself stayed up until five thirty in the morning several times to watch him fight . And I always wanted to fight him, I always wanted to test myself. And that was the peak of my career at that time, he was the champion and I, of course, wanted that fight. Now, I got the fight and obviously some things happened in his last few fights and I took my chance to remind people of that. Of course, I had an angle, I had ammunition and I was going to use it. That said, it's in the past, all the best for him, now I'm going to focus on my career, I wish him all the best, he's an exceptional fighter and he hit me with hard blows. He is a legend, all the best to him”, he added.
At 36, Michael Bisping has a professional record of 28 wins and seven losses. With the triumph over Anderson, the Briton achieved three consecutive victories and should move up in the middleweight division. Already Anderson Silva, 40 years old, suffered his seventh defeat in MMA, Spider also has another 33 victories and one fight without result in his career.
