Thought as much, Sapp was at the MMA Expo in Birmingham the next day apparently, so got into the country fine. Will be avoiding these UCC events if they ever get to put on another card.

I agree with that, the UFC are always happy to take Brits too. Admittedly I havent seen any of his fights, whats his style like? Not another Brit who'll get wrestlef*cked is he and thats no disrespect to the current British lot. A win against Ninja is certainly good even if he is a bit jaded these days.

Dont know much about him myself but what i have seen he looks to stand up mostly and seems to be more of a kickboxing style......so yeah probably will get taken down like the rest! Although he does train at Greg Jacksons,so you would think he has some kind of ground game!

He's pretty well rounded. He showed some tremendous takedown defence last night which helps as he's maybe not the best in the submissions department.
He could do pretty well in the UFC Middleweight division I reckon as there aren't THAT many excellent wrestlers in that division anyway.

Apparently they've changed their mind, he can apply for his license back in June which makes way for Bisping v Sonnen to headline UFC in the UK in October!
