Coming off the utter destruction of Jason “Mayhem” Miller earlier this month, UFC middleweight Michael Bisping will look to extend his winning streak to five in a row against former-contender Demian Maia, as the two co-headline the UFC’s second event on FOX at the end of January.
The winner of this fight will be second in line to fight for the middleweight championship, as fellow co-headliners Chael Sonnen and Mark Muñoz will battle for the next shot at Anderson Silva.
Bisping is taking the fight on short notice because he took very little damage in his bout against Miller and wants his shot at UFC gold.
Maia has gone 3-1 since losing to Silva at UFC 112, defeating Jorge Santiago and Kendall Grove in the process. In his lone loss, Maia gave Muñoz a run for his money, showing an improved striking game.
