Bisping snubs Anderson Silva during faceoff, calls him a 'fraud' and a 'cheater'
If Anderson Silva needed any extra motivation for his comeback fight, Michael Bisping supplied it at the UFC London weigh-ins.
Both men made weight Friday and the ensuing faceoff saw Bisping offer a handshake only to retract it when Silva obliged. That started a tense confrontation that had to be broken up by UFC president Dana White.

Silva and Bisping meet in the main event of UFC London on Saturday.
