UFC 120: Bisping vs. Akiyama was a mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on October 16, 2010, at the O2 Arena in London, United Kingdom.[2] The card featured six televised MMA bouts, as well as four un-aired preliminary bouts.
The main event featured The Ultimate Fighter 3 winner Michael Bisping and the Japanese judoka Yoshihiro Akiyama. After three rounds, the fight went to a judges decision, where Bisping was victorious with scores of 30–27 being given by all three ringside judges. The co-main event of the evening featured Dan Hardy (who entered the contest having become the first Englishman to compete in a UFC Championship bout, albeit unsuccessfully) and Carlos Condit, the former World Extreme Cagefighting Welterweight champion. Condit was able to knockout Hardy in the opening round; consigning Hardy to his first knockout loss.
The first UK UFC Fan Expo coincided with this event and was held at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre on Friday October 15 and Saturday October 16. Aside from the live broadcast in Britain and Canada, this event aired on the same day, via tape delay, on Spike TV in the U.S.
The event was the fourth the UFC has hosted at the O2 Arena in London, England, U.K. and the first since UFC 95. It was also the ninth event held in United Kingdom and the first since UFC 105. UFC 120 was also notable for becoming, at that time, the ninth highest attended event in UFC history.
