The English Michael Bisping He's barely reached the middleweight division and is already being challenged. Jason MacDonald declared to the specialized media that he would like to face him. Bisping recently reported that he would debut at middleweight before June. MacDonald is already confirmed to participate in UFC 83, which takes place in April. “My game matches Bisping’s well. I would like to face him” assured the Canadian.
Michael Bisping, champion of the third edition of The Ultimate Fighter, despite being considered one of the UFC's top light heavyweights, announced at the end of last week that he would fight at middleweight. The change, according to the fighter himself, was motivated not by the defeat suffered by the wrestler Rashad evans at UFC 78, but because he considers himself “small” for an athlete in the 93-kilo division. “I never made sacrifices to maintain my weight” assured the Englishman. Bisping's record has 15 wins and just one loss.
Even though the champion Anderson Silva Although Bisping is considered the best striker in the UFC, Bisping's move to the middleweight division would make the fight more exciting and competitive. With this in mind, Canadian Jason MacDonald stated that he considers Bisping to be an excellent fighter, but that he does not believe he will make a big impact at middleweight. “I think it was a smart decision for Bisping to move down a category. He was too small to fight at light heavyweight. I met him twice and I was bigger than him,” said MacDonald. “I don't think he would beat Rich Franklin and I'm sure he wouldn't beat Anderson Silva ou Dan Henderson. O Dan Henderson, who made the same change, will make a big impact, but not Bisping.”
Jason MacDonald, in his interviews, says he is known as the “TUF Killer”, because every time he faced fighters from the reality show The Ultimate Fighter, he won. Inside the octagon, the Canadian defeated Ed Herman, Chris Leben and Rory Singer.
