			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-65" title="bisping-ufc-89" src="http://www.twistedgambler.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/bisping-ufc-89-300x168.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="168" />UFC 89 helped cement the premier MMA fighting organization and their grasp on the UK market.  After a rough start with their first event in 2002, the UFC has tried multiple times to penetrate the UK fan base. With the 11th most popular sports figure in the UK on their payroll, Michael Bisping and his surprising rise to fame has helped the UFC take over MMA in the UK.</p>
<p>Bisping put a beating on Chris Leben like no other MMA fighter has, landing punches at will and leaving Leben looking as if it were a baseball bat that hit his face versus Bisping&#8217;s gloves. The fight was lopsided and Bisping took down a unanimous decision to the roar from the UK audience. After the fight, Bisping was asked when he feels ready for a title fight. His response shows the level of maturity the talented fighter continues to demonstrate as he racks up win after win:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I just take it one step at a time; I don&#8217;t want to get ahead of myself,&#8221; Bisping said. &#8220;All people seem to be talking about is a title shot. I&#8217;m seeing improvement with every fight. I&#8217;m getting better and better. All aspects of my game are getting better. Whenever it comes, I&#8217;ll be happy. I&#8217;m in no rush. If they said next fight, I&#8217;d be happy. lf they said five fights, I&#8217;d be happy.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Perhaps the most entertaining quote from the night came not from a fighter but the promoter himself. Never at a loss of words when it comes to someone who crossed him, Dana White was asked by a UK fan if he would piss on Tito Ortiz if he saw him on fire. In typical unfiltered fashion, White replied: &#8220;I really wouldn&#8217;t. I&#8217;d toast a fucking marshmallow on him.&#8221;</p>
