One of the greatest MMA fighters of all time, Anderson Silva, will make his return to the Octagon against Michael Bisping on February 27, 2016. The kicker?
This fight will be exclusive to UFC Fight Pass, their digital streaming service. This is no doubt the biggest live fight in UFC Fight Pass history.
The last time we saw Anderson “The Spider” Silva in action was in a five round decision victory over Nick Diaz that was later ruled a no-contest due to a failed pre-fight drug test. Silva tested positive for anabolic steroids, drostanolone metabolites and androstane, and oxazepam, which is a drug that helps fight anxiety.
Silva was suspended by The Nevada State Athletic Commission, which is the governing body of the UFC. The 40 year old fighters suspension will end on January 31, 2016.
Bisping has won three of his last four appearances inside the Octagon.
