England’s Michael Bisping gave the fans in London something to cheer about in the main event at UFC 120 on Saturday, coming back from a shaky start to win a unanimous decision after a hard-fought 15 minutes in the Octagon with Yoshihiro Akiyama.

“Right at the start of the first round he hit me with a shot here and I was seeing double,” Bisping said afterward. “Akiyama is a great fighter but I truly believed in my training, my skills and my ability to win this fight.”
