UFC Fight Night 84: Silva vs
The two UFC fighters will headline UFC Fight Night London on Saturday and took to the scales Friday for their official weigh-in.
Recognized by many as the greatest mixed martial arts competitor, Silva (33-6, 1 NC) was last seen inside the Octagon when he scored a lopsided decision victory over Nick Diaz in January of this year.
The UFC heads to London on Saturday for UFC Fight Night 84. The 36-year-old has been throwing barbs over the past several weeks, maintaining a firm stance on Silva’s PED issue.
And Rockhold says he would relish the opportunity to defend the belt against Bisping, having beaten the Brit in 2014.
UFC is coming back to London, and Anderson Silva is coming back to UFC.
In the fourth “Embedded” episode, Silva is in a good mood (channeling his inner Michael Jackson) before a terrifying shuttle ride.

The 13-fight event kicks off Saturday with nine preliminary card bouts streaming live on UFC Fight Pass at 12:45 p.m. ET.
Silva, who will be fighting just for the second time following his recovery from a gruesome leg injury, is a heavy favorite heading into the showdown. Silva won by unanimous decision.
