UFC 110 Australia Card Updates & Videos!

Wanderlei Silva and Michael Bisping have verbally agreed to meet at UFC 110, http://www.MMAWeekly.com confirmed Tuesday evening with sources close to the fight.

The news was first reported Monday by Fighters Only.

UFC 110 is slated for Feb. 23 at Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia, though the event has yet to be confirmed by the promotion.

Until news of the match-up broke, Silva was originally expected headline the down under event with Yoshihiro Akiyama. The Japanese star's fate is unknown at this time. Silva vs. Bisping is expected to be a co-main event.

Silva (32-10-1) last fought in January at UFC 93, losing a unanimous decision to Rich Franklin in a 195-pound catchweight fight. Silva disagreed with the call and said he would like to rematch the former middleweight champion down the line.

Following the fight, Silva underwent surgery to reduce scar tissue around his eyes and took the second half of 2009 off.

The February fight marks the former Pride champion's debut at middleweight after serving much of his career at light heavyweight.

Bisping (18-2) last month fought his way back from a first round knockdown to TKO veteran Denis Kang in the second round of their UFC 105 meeting. The victory quelled doubts of Bisping's middleweight standing after a vicious knockout at the hands of Dan Henderson at UFC 100 in July.

Last Friday, UFC president Dana White told a gathering of fans that he had booked a fight for Bisping, but wouldn't reveal the match-up.

The fight has yet to be confirmed by the UFC.
