I know Bisping wants another big time opponent after getting ***** by Hendo, but I don`t see this ending much better for him in his home country. Thoughts?

Despite multiple reports to the contrary, Wanderlei Silva will not be fighting Michael Bisping at UFC 105 in November, says Silva’s manager Rob Cardenas.
“That fight hasn’t been offered, discussed, or even addressed by and between the UFC and Wanderlei or any member of Wanderlei’s management,” Cardenas told MMAWeekly.com Thursday afternoon.
Reports of the match-up surfaced Thursday morning, stating that Silva was soon to complete a deal to take on the winner of “The Ultimate Fighter” season three.
Cardenas said the fight’s timing was contrary to Silva’s wishes.
“Wanderlei wants to wait until February to fight, and that’s coming from Wanderlei and Alejarra (Silva’s conditioning coach), who I spoke with this morning,” continued Cardenas. “In fact in a recent interview that we just completed, he’d like to fight Dan Henderson next, which he understands isn’t going to happen for a while because Dan is fighting Rich Franklin.”
Cardenas did not rule out a future meeting between Silva and Bisping.
“If it happens sometime down the line, maybe it happens,” he said.
Silva last appeared at UFC 99, where he lost a unanimous decision to Franklin. In post-fight interviews, Silva felt he had won the fight and requested an eventual rematch.
Cardenas did not pinpoint any names for Silva’s desired return in February.
