Not only does it sound like Georges St. Pierre may be interested in returning and fighting Michael Bisping for the middleweight belt, but Anderson Silva also made it clear today he is interested in a rematch with the Brit moments after he was called out by Vitor Belfort.
That’s right! Belfort asked for a rematch with Silva earlier today, however, Silva has all eyes on “The Count” and getting back the gold. On Instagram, Silva offered to face Bisping one more time in England.
Silva wrote,
I’m serious, I’ve never asked for a rematch with no adversary, but I do want to have an opportunity of a fight with Bisping, I deserve that for everything I have achieve into the organization saving last time fights’ events even in upper categories, fighting injured, broke a leg. I have proved why I am the best in world in this sport and I humbly say that none of my adversaries who supposedly defeated me have achieved or will my actions into the organization.
On June 4th, Bisping became the first-ever Brit to win a UFC title. He defeated Luke Rockhold via knockout early in the first round. Bisping also defeated Silva by a controversial unanimous decision win at UFC Fight Night: Silva vs. Bisping in February.
At the moment, the UFC is still deciding on who will get the first crack at Bisping, there’s just so many interesting options.

Anderson Silva Call Out Michael Bisping
Well, I could give you million reasons to make the fight against Bisping happen, but the truth is that he is afraid. I’m not going to compare myself to others even mention someone else, but in my perspective I believe I have the right to a fight with him once again, because I have won London’s fight and a rematch was promised. However, as he was injured by me during the fight, he wouldn’t be prepared to fight too soon, then he was ready to replace someone, but not to face me in Brazil, right? You know I lived an unexpected situation having a surgery, but if it wasn’t happened I could fight in Brazil. So, I think it’s time to show that I’m serious, I’ve never asked for a rematch with no adversary, but I do want to have an opportunity of a fight with Bisping, I deserve that for everything I have achieve into the organization saving last time fights’ events even in upper categories, fighting injured, broke a leg. I have proved why I am the best in world in this sport and I humbly say that none of my adversaries who supposedly defeated me have achieved or will my actions into the organization. Undoubtedly, I believe this rematch will be the best step for UFC and Dana is aware of it, because numbers does tell and as we always have to stand by the group let it be from both sides. If I could help him to feel more confident and less afraid I would agree to fight him in his hometown, Manchester.
