Bisping - Leben Confirmed for UFC 85

After nearly a week of speculation, the UFC has today confirmed that Michael "The Count" Bisping will face Chris "The Crippler" Leben at UFC 85 in June, at London's O2 Arena.

For Bisping, this will be his second fight in two months, coming off a win against Charles McCarthy at UFC 83 last week. This will be Bisping's second fight at midleweight, and will give him a chance to prove himself in the division.

Chris Leben, coming off a TKO victory against Alessio Sakara in March, has a record of 18-4, with 10 of his wins coming by KO/TKO. He is known for his heavy hands and the ability to pull off victories with one punch.

The fight should be very exciting for the fans, and will provide a great co main event on what looks to be a solid card.
