Quick Picks – UFC Shanghai – Bisping vs. Gastelum

For the first time ever the UFC visits mainland China this Saturday in what is an extremely important event if they want to have success in the region. Unfortunately, the card doesn’t really give much hope on that count as it’s devoid of big names outside of the main event.

In that spot, former middleweight champion Michael Bisping steps in just three weeks after losing his title to replace the recently USADA-flagged Anderson Silva against Kelvin Gastelum.
