Bisping might fight Cormier after GSP
“If you’re serious, which I kind of think you are, then yeah, screw it, if only to annoy everyone in the world I will, again, fight somebody who doesn’t fight at middleweight.”
Much has been made of GSP rumored plan to become G.O.A.T. of G.O.A.T.s – beat middleweight champion Michael Bisping, and then beat lightweight champion Conor McGregor, with a potential stop at welterweight as well.
However, The Count may have some plans of his own, as he discussed during a recent episode of his Believe You Me podcast. While last week he said he might retire after his next fight, he also said he might challenge for UFC light heavyweight Daniel Cormier’s belt.
I don’t know if he’s joking or if he’s serious,” said Bisping, as transcribed by Jed Meshew for MMA Fighting. “But if he is serious, I’ll fight him next even though I said last week I’m gonna retire. I would fight Daniel Cormier because that would be a huge fight. DC is a great guy, he’s hilarious, hell of a fighter and he seems to be targeting a fight with me. So DC, if you’re serious, which I kind of think you are, then yeah, screw it, if only to annoy everyone in the world I will, again, fight somebody who doesn’t fight at middleweight.
I used to fight at 205, Dan. I was 15-0 so be careful what you wish for.
Michael Bisping fights Georges St-Pierre at UFC 217 on November 4 in Madison Square Garden, New York City, New York. After that, nobody knows.
