Michael Bisping turned down an offer to fight Cung Le before accepting a middleweight fight with Tim Boetsch at UFC 148 in Las Vegas on July 7, he revealed to me earlier today.

The British fighter also dismissed Mark Munoz as not “particularly dangerous” as an opponent. He also stated that he would take a re-match with Dan Henderson, whom he lost to at UFC 100.

“I have never really looked at Mark Munoz and thought he looked like a particularly dangerous opponent,” said Bisping. “His ground and pound looks good, his wrestling doesn’t look all that dangerous, his stand up is suspect and he’s got a weak chin. I think Tim Boetsch is probably a harder fight.”

On Henderson, Bisping added: “I would 100 per cent be interested in a rematch. Made a lot of mistakes in the build-up to that fight and I have grown as a fighter.”
