UFC London Medical Suspensions: Michael Bisping, 4 Others Facing 6-Month Layoffs
Michael Bisping could be sidelined for six months following the biggest win of his career to date.
Bisping, who defeated Anderson Silva via unanimous decision in the UFC Fight Night London headliner last weekend, must receive a clean CT scan before he can return to the Octagon. At the minimum, “The Count” cannot fight for 44 days, with no contact for a month. Bisping was floored by a flying knee from Silva at the end of the third round of their middleweight scrap but recovered between periods.
