    There was some talk that Michael Bisping would face Vitor Belfort but the UFC has opted to give him an easier fight in Akiyama. It is pretty similar to the fight Bisping had with Denis Kang.

    Yep.

    Also, check this out:

    Wanderlei Silva - coming off two losses
    Dan Miller - coming off two losses
    Yoshihiro Akiyama - coming off one loss, one controversial split decision

    Why is the UFC feeding Bisping fighters coming off losses?

    to build his brand back up after a brutal ko. dana knows bisping sells, especially to the uk fans.
    plus he plays a pretty good heel, id say.
