Michael Bisping was hopeful to keep his winning streak alive in 2015 with a fight at UFC 193, but tonight announced he will have to withdraw due to injury:
During Wednesday’s edition of UFC Tonight the veteran Bisping announced that he had suffered an elbow injury that will force him off the card. The injury will require minor surgery, Bisping said, and he expects to be out of action for a few weeks.
Bisping, who is currently ranked No. 7 in the media-driven UFC, was part of the pay-per-view portion of the main card. There was no word if New Zealand’s Whittaker would be given another opponent.
“I apologize to everybody who bought tickets, to the UFC, to Robert Whittaker for pulling out of the fight,” Bisping said on the show. “But, it’s still going to be an amazing show. I’m just annoyed that I’m not going to be there to be a part of it.”
