Michael Bisping har vunnit fyra av sina fem senaste matcher inne i oktogonen, och sist besegrade han ingen mindre än Anderson Silva via ett enhälligt domslut. Nu vill Bisping få en titelmatch i organisationens mellanvikt, och detta hade han att säga via ”The MMA Hour”:
Of course I want that title fight. I think Luke Rockhold beats Chris Weidman again. No disrespect to Chris, he was a great champion and is a great fighter. I think Rockhold gets the job done, again, and I would like that rematch.
I just beat Anderson Silva and I think that sells it in itself. I have won four out of five, I’ve fought nothing but the best fighters in the world, and people have had title shots for… Nate Diaz is looking at maybe getting a title shot against Robbie Lawler for beating a 145’r. Regardless of who that 145’r was, now he gets a welterweight title shot? Come on man, I just beat Anderson Silva.
Först ut kommer vi dock få se ett returmöte mellan nuvarande titelhållaren Luke Rockhold och dåvarande mästaren Chris Weidman, som möts under UFC 199 den 4 juni.
