Bisping believes he’s one away from a title fight

Everything is coming together in my skill set. And now I’m ready. If I can’t do it now, I’m never gonna do it, said Bisping after his win over Akiyama at UFC 120.
I had a good fight against (Dan) Miller. I’m relatively happy tonight. It was a good win. I want to fight a tough guy, whoever it is. I think one more win against a real credible opponent, I think that would get me a title shot, but obviously it’s not up to me is it?
No, it’s not up to Bisping to decide if or when he gets a title shot, and UFC president Dana White was less than committed on the subject, although he did heap praise on the Brit after his victory.
Akiyama is a tough guy. I knew that that was gonna be a dog fight. Mike looked good tonight. He took a big shot as soon as that fight started. He was hurt, he got rocked. He kept his composure and fought a great fight, said White, but was open-ended on Bisping’s future. We’ll see what happens.
