Fighters Only is reporting that UFC british middleweight fighter Michael Bisping is set to take on Japanese superstar Yoshihiro Akiyama as the main event bout for UFC 120 in October. According to the report one of the two sides has already signed the fight agreement, and the other side will complete shortly and then the match will be officially announced.
Bisping will look to build on his victory over Dan Miller at UFC 114, and fighting on British soil should provide some extra motivation. Akiyama will try to overcome a loss to Chris Leben suffered at UFC 116, and if possible bring back the “Sexyama” MMA fans love.
The MMA News will report back on this story as news comes out.
