Speaking with ESPN Michael Bisping said,”I want to fight in England,” Bisping said. “It’s a shame I’m not fighting this weekend [at UFC Fight Night London]. I was supposed to fight Rashad Evans, it never happened, we couldn’t get the deal right. It has to be right for the UFC, it has to be right for me. We couldn’t agree to terms this time, no hard feelings, but hopefully down the line we make it happen.”
