Speaking this week on the MMA Hour, long time UFC veteran Michael Bisping stated his case for a title shot against the winner of Weidman and Rockhold:
“I think I deserve it,” Bisping said. “I think the middleweight division is a complicated landscape at the moment. I don’t see who there is next. I see Jacare [Souza] beating Vitor [Belfort]. But no matter who wins, they’d all be rematches. Mine would be a rematch, Jacare would be a rematch, Vitor would be a rematch, Weidman is a rematch. I think mine is a compelling case, and we’ll see what the UFC wants to do, but I deserve it.”
And besides, Bisping notes, fighters have gotten title shots for much less.
“I just beat Anderson Silva, I think that sells it in itself,” Bisping said. “I’ve won 4 out of 5, I’ve fought nothing but the best fighters in the world –Nate Diaz may be getting a title shot at Robbie Lawler at welterweight for beating a 145er, okay? Now he gets a welterweight title shot? C’mon I just beat Anderson Silva.”
