With Anderson Silva likely fighting Chael Sonnen next for the Middleweight Championship, it looks like Henderson will need to fight to keep busy.
A win is a win is a win. For fast-rising - but still relatively unknown - Chris Weidman, you don't pass up an opportunity to fight on a FOX main card against a top-10 middleweight. Not even if you get just 11 days' notice and still have 32 pounds to shed in order for it to be official.
"You've always got supporters, you've always got haters," Bisping said. "But that's not what concerns me. What concerns me is going out there and putting on great fights and providing for my wife and children."
Chris Weidman earns a unanimous decision victory over Demian Maia in the opening bout of the main card of the UFC on FOX 2: "Evans vs. Davis" event last night (Sat., Jan. 28, 2012) at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. Bruce Buffer originally announced that Weidman had won a split decision; however, UFC President Dana White later tweeted that a mistake was made and Weidman had actually won via unanimous decision.
"I wanted to win tonight, but I obviously didn't do enough. I feel I won the fight, but obviously Chael's walking away the victor."
Though he is disappointed in not having his hand raised, Bisping is not making any excuses. He did have a change in opponent on short notice as he was originally set to fight Demian Maia, but an opportunity arose for him to get a chance to fight in the main event against Sonnen when Mark Munoz got hurt and he jumped all over it.
Some believe that this change in opponent

Sonnen fell to Silva after taking the champion to task for five rounds during their championship bout at UFC 117 in August of 2010. Sonnen has been campaigning for a second shot at Silva since the loss, calling out the champion following a dominating performance over for WEC champion Brian Stann at UFC 136.
