The UFC returns to London for the first time in two years as Michael Bisping finally faces former middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
'The Count' has been chasing a fight with the Brazilian legend since he first began fighting at 185lbs in 2008 and would put himself right in the title picture for a potential rematch with Luke Rockhold with a win.
For 40-year-old Silva the bout sees him return to London where he made his name on the local mixed martial arts scene looking for redemption as he works towards regaining the UFC belt he held for more than six years.
Elsewhere on the card former middleweight title contender Thales Leites faces dangerous veteran Gegard Mousasi while English welterweight prospect Tom Breese fights Keita Nakamura.
London's own Brad Pickett also returns to the Octagon looking to break a three-fight losing streak against knockout artist Francisco Rivera.
