Ed Soares calls for Anderson Silva vs. Michael Bisping rematch Long-time manager for Anderson Silva, Ed Soares made an Instagram post Sunday saying that he wants to see a rematch between the UFC Fight Night 84 headliners in Brazil. 
Bisping (28-7) defeated Silva by unanimous decision this past weekend at UFC Fight Night 84. Silva (33-7) hasn’t won a fight since 2012 thanks to a failed drug test in his win over Nick Diaz last year. While this matchup did have it’s fair share of controversy, it appears that Bisping has another fight in mind.
Hey @nickdiaz209 see your talking shit. Don’t be bitter cos I beat somebody you couldn’t. Thought you were cooler than that. Obviously wrong
