Dana White expresses interest in Anderson Silva vs. Michael Bisping – UFC News
Michael Bisping would be pleased to know that finally Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, is showing interest in a fight between him and Anderson Silva, the reigning middleweight champion. Bisping has been trying too hard recently
to convince Silva and White for a title shot but to no avail until now.
“I mean, Jon Jones and Anderson Silva obviously would be a big fight, GSP/Anderson would be a big fight,” said White in an interview with MMA Crazy TV. “. I've got to be honest with you, I like Bisping vs. Anderson. I think that Bisping doesn't get the credit
he deserves for as good of a fighter as he is. I've always thought Bisping looked good. I've always thought his wrestling was way underrated, I thought his striking was underrated. The guy had one big loss to [Dan] Henderson in his entire career, and because
of his personality, and the way that he is, people like to stick it to Bisping. Bisping's awesome.”
Michael Bisping recently defeated Brian Stann at UFC 152 to become the number one contender for the title. However, things are still not clear for him, as Dana White has already announced Chris Weidman as the number one contender. Weidman will be facing
Tim Boetsch at UFC 154 in December. He will then lock horns will Michael Bisping to decide who will face Silva. The situation is a bit perplexing right now and it seems like no one yet has the number one contender’s tag.
The good part here is that Anderson Silva has revealed that he is ready to fight anyone in the division. He is looking forward to a match against Georges St-Pierre, welterweight titlist, for next year. St-Pierre is currently scheduled to fight Carlos Condit.
If he wins, he will go for a fight against Silva.
Even White is not sure right as to what will be Bisping’s future, but he surely has expressed interest in a fight between Silva and Bisping. Hopefully, Silva will get the deserved title shot sometime soon, if Dana White is willing to do so.
