Michael "The Count" Bisbing is still British and Dana White Still Likes that

In all fairness...he is also 17-1 and has never been stopped. Not a bad anchor for the UFCs presence in the UK. Zuffa, never one to miss an opportunity to make more money, has offered the fighter a new 8 fight contract. As reported by Fightersonlymagazine.com: (Excerpts)

The middleweight star won series three of The Ultimate Fighter (as a light-heavyweight) and returns as a coach in season nine, which begins airing next week.

His contract with the UFC is apparently drawing towards its end and the organization is looking to negotiate a new deal as he moves forward with his career.

Bisping is 17-1 in MMA and 6-1 in the UFC. He has never been stopped in a fight and his only loss is a split-decision to current light-heavyweight champion Rashad Evans, a verdict he disagrees with.

Starting April 1st (April 5th in the UK) Bisping will be seen coaching a team of UK fighters on season nine of The Ultimate Fighter.

His rival coach is Dan Henderson, who will be captaining Team USA and who will fight Bisping in a middleweight bout at UFC 100.

Bisbing along with fellow Brit Dan Hardy are helping the UFC establish themselves as a global fight brand without equal. Add to that up and comers Terry Etim and Paul Kelly and their UK stable is looking very good.

Expect them to replicate that strategy in other corners of the small and getting smaller world.
