The boxing coach of Michael Bisping, Jason Parillo, ruled out the possibility of an immediate rematch between his athlete and Anderson Silva, which would repeat last weekend's fight at UFC Fight Night London.

At the time, Bisping prevailed in the judges' unanimous decision, which left Anderson's team dissatisfied. One of the Brazilian's managers, Ed Soares, suggested that a new duel between the two take place in Brazil, but Parillo didn't like the idea.
