“This is one of the most anticipated fights in UFC history. You can’t just announce, ‘Oh, the fight is happening.’ No. "For a fight of this magnitude, the UFC wants to do a real job.

They don't want someone on YouTube or something saying, 'Yeah, this fight is going to happen,'" said Michael Bisping in his statement. channel from YouTube.

The UFC commentator used his own experience as a fighter to explain the importance of promoting a fight in the best possible way.

This is the kind of fight that deserves this kind of attention. This is the fight the world is crying out for, and this is the fight it looks like we're going to see.” Bisping said.
