The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) may be looking to lock down an exciting match up between former champions Rashad Evans and Michael Bisping.
Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping is looking to make his final octagon performance. For his retirement fight, “The Count” wants to face off in London, England one final time. Now it would appear that the former title holder may be facing off against a fellow former champion in an exhilarating rematch event.
MMA coach Henri Hooft, former Blackzilians member, recently posted a photo of Rashad Evans’ name on a white board. Next to the fighter’s name, “UFC FN (London)” was written. UFC Fight Night 127 will be taking place in London, England on March 17 inside The O2 Arena.
MMA reporter Ariel Helwani would later take to social media to report that a fight between Evans and Bisping for March 17 in London is currently being discusses, though nothing has yet been finalized.
Former UFC light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans first faced off against “The Count” at UFC 78. Evans earned a split decision victory over Bisping, leaving UFC Fight Night 127 open for a highly exciting rematch event.
