Former middleweight champion (up to 83,9kg) and current UFC commentator, Michael Bisping revealed, in a video published on his official “YouTube” channel, which are the fights he is most looking forward to watching in the organization's 2023 season, which begins on January 14th, with the UFC Las Vegas 67.
In addition to the eminent returns of the former light heavyweight champion (93kg) Jon Jones and the former featherweight (65,7kg) and lightweight (up to 70,3kg) champion Conor McGregor, Michael Bisping declared expectations for duels between young bantamweight promises (up to 61,2kg) and elite welterweight names (up to 77kg).

“We know the knockout power. Francis Ngannou It's getting better all the time. He's learning how to defend takedowns. He hit Stipe Miocic, the greatest heavyweight of all time, and the last time we saw him, bteu Cyryl Gane, showing evolution. He showed some new weapons, some takedowns. But how would he fare against Jon Jones? This is the big fight that everyone needs to see and absolutely needs to happen in 2023,” said Bisping.

“I'm a fan of both, but they need to fight again. The reason for this is because they are on the same trajectory. They are two of the biggest stars in the bantamweight division,” she analyzed.

“I want to see McGregor against someone who is going to put on an exciting fight. I don't want to see anyone trying to grab him. I'm not saying Conor couldn't beat these guys, but he'll probably fight at 77kg. I want to see him in a fun fight. I want to see him with someone who will accept the fight standing up, and that's what Masvidal will do. Masvidal is a stand-up, a stand-up fighter, he's fast, he's light, he's technical and he's wild. Can you imagine the 'trash talk' before the fight? A pay-per-view source,” he concluded.
