Michael Bisping is aiming to be the first Briton to win an Ultimate Fighting Championship world title – and he could do it in front of a sell-out MEN Arena crowd.
The 30-year-old from Clitheroe has been promised a shot at the mixed martial arts organisation’s middleweight crown if he comes through his clash with Dan Henderson in Las Vegas on July 11.
And UFC chiefs, keen to break into the European market, intend to bring his potential world title scrap to Manchester in the autumn.
