LONDON – Prior to the final frame of his bout with Japanese star Yoshihiro Akiyama, veteran UFC middleweight Michael Bisping circled the cage, lifted his arms and summoned the energy of a soldout crowd at The 02 in London.
His fellow Brits apparently fueled the championship hopeful, and Bisping ultimately closed out the fight in dominant fashion to earn a unanimous-decision victory.
The fight headlined Saturday’s UFC 120 event, which aired live in most parts of the world but via same-day delay on Spike TV in the U.S.
