EXCLUSIVE: UFC 105 - Michael Bisping set to return home in November

MMABay can EXCLUSIVELY confirm that UK middleweight star, Michael “The Count” Bisping will return to action inside the octagon in his hometown of Manchester, England at UFC 105 on November 14th.

Sources close to the Wolfslair MMA Academy trained fighter confirmed the news to MMABay last night adding the 30 year old is keen to “get back on the horse” and begin his climb back up the middleweight ladder as quickly as possible.

A number of top middleweights are being lined up as possible opponents for Bisping including former number one contenders Patrick Cote and, if he can get past Alessio Sakara at UFC 101, Thales Leites.

UFC 105 will take place at the Manchester Evening News Arena (M.E.N.) and will see the UFC return to the UK for the first time in almost ten months. It is unclear if a title bout will feature on the card but UK fans should expect to miss out again.
