Munoz injured....Bisping in!!!!!

Can anyone confirm this? I've just heard about it and haven't seen anyone report it on here?

Cannot wait to see this fight if it is true!

Dana White has confirmed this on Twitter.

Great news for you Bisping haters! lol (Anfield where are you? )

Also, Let's see Palhares vs Maia please!

hope they give maia palhares

was looking foward to munoz sonnen dnt give bisping much hope shame its changed i faniced bisping against maia

Michael Bisping on Twitter:

Unlucky for chael sonnen. I'm now fighting him next week. Tune in, jan 28th, fox tv. Fight of the year mofo's.

Lol I just wish there was more time for trash talking and build up to this fight!!

Chael Sonnen:

"I am going to knock the teeth out of this snot nosed Brit who calls himself royalty, who calls himself a Count, I am MMA royalty and America will tune into the Chael Sonnen show next Saturday on FOX."

I really don't know who I want to lose most....

As long as Andy shreds the winner I'll be happy

His passport has expired, therefore Palhares is not going to be an option to fight Demian Maia.

Literally just announced, Demain Maia vs Chris Weidman!!

Awww im kinda dissapointed, there wont be much buildup for Sonnen-Bisping. But cant wait to see Bisping take a beating in less than 2 weeks.

This is the best news I've heard in months. Could not be happier. Bisping is going to get destroyed. Not sure where he gets the fight of the year idea. Ass-kicking of the year is far more likely.

Fair play to Bisping for taking the fight, no doubt he has gone from a fight where he was arguably the favourite to a fight where he is now the clear underdog, so he deserves some respect for that.

Also good to see Weidman step up and fight Maia, looks like he'll now be fast tracked and could be in title contention at the end of the year! A shame for Munoz to get injured, maybe he could fight Palhares when he recovers. I think this has to be the best comeback for a card for an injury so close to the event, Bisping and Weidman must be getting paid some serious amounts to alter their plans, no doubt the fact that it is on Fox is the reason for this.

he gets paid an absolute fortune under normal circumstances, so i can only imagine the riches UFC offered him to take this fight..

still ..fair play

Wow this is a dream match up for most of us! No way Chael will let Bisping back up for the whole fight. I'm sure Bisping didn't need much motivation other than getting into a No1 contenders fight without having earned it, and probably extra pay. Not as if he wasn't in shape anyway.

It's a shame that Maia-Palhares couldn't happen, but i think that would have been a great fight.

Maia-Weidman should be entertaining too, although it'll likely be a stand up fight between 2 decent strikers as Weidman will want nothing to do with Maia on the ground.

Bisping said Sonnen cant sub him and cant KO him so if he decisions him he didnt diserve to fight Anderson anyway.... I think he is in for a shock because in all likelyhood Sonnen is going to hammer his head into the matt repeatedly and TKO him. I dont see Bisping surviving this, Backpeddling and Jabbing wont work against Sonnen who isnt adverse to charging like a bull and bringing the fight to someone.

Sonnen TKO round 2.

This Is going to be hilarious to watch Bisping get rag dolled for 3 Rounds.

Got to say I like the card more now with no Munoz I think Weidman ve Maia is an excellent fight and credit to to him for taking It at short notice.

wow.....unlucky Bisping eh!

But lucky us

I think Munoz is a great fighter, shame to see him off the card & hopefully Dana & co wont forget where he left the title picture when he returns.

Evans - Decision
Sonnen - Rape
Maia - Sub

Id love to see Munoz vs Palhares when he comes back.

Cant wait to see if anyone is actuall backing Bisping because I smell an avatar bet with Anfield if they do!

Anyone remember Randy spanking Tito during their fight? I can see Sonnen doing something like this to Bisping. Against Anderson he was nerly showing off with those 'double punches' Maby the Lesnar bucking bronco againt Herring? I see something funny from Chael when he realises Bisping hasnt anything to offer becides being very quick at running backwards!

There is no way that Bisping will be taken seriously after this fight, Sonnen will absolutely own him for as long as he wishes. Cannot wait.

Thinking about it, why wasn't Maia bumped up to face Sonnen in a rematch? I think Dana is too scared that Maia subs Sonnen again and we get Anderson-Maia II.....

Yep I would go with that that is the last thing Zuffa want to see a rematch with Maia for Anderson and yes again' It is far too dangerous fight tom make to jeopardise a Sonnen rematch hell If Bisping wins they will no doubt attempt to put the show in a football stadium up north (I'm thinking the Reebok would be a safe option) and make big dough too, a win-win fight for Zuffa no matter what the result Is.

sonnen 2nd rnd gnp for me sheldan is right though he deserves credit for taking this fight will be so funny if by some miracle he wins

disagree re the weedman not wanting to go to ground weidman is learning jits fast from all acounts and his far superioir wrestling may be his key to victory ill go weidman ud or late tko

evans to ud davis

no issue with palhars passport dana said he just turned it down

That's odd, i would have thought it would be a great opportunity for Palhares to jump up the rankings.....

someone has tweeted dana saying he was injured cnt see how
