Michael Bisping isn't in exactly the same position that Frank Mir was earlier this year, but there are enough similarities in their situations that it's wise to make note of it.

Bisping's situation heading into his bout Saturday on Fox Sports 1 against Thales Leites in Glasgow, Scotland, is similar.
