We’ll meet UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping, who is returning home to headline a UFC event in Manchester for the very first time.

And we’ll catch up with his arch-nemesis Dan Henderson, the 46-year-old mixed martial arts legend, who brutally knocked out Bisping at UFC 100 back in 2009.

The UFC Embedded cameras will check in with some of the other athletes on the card, too, as they follow the fighters from the moment they check in at the host hotel to the final time they face off at Friday’s ceremonial weigh-ins.
