Brunson to Bisping: You re ranked 6, I m ranked 7, let s exchange

Get the Full StoryDerek Brunson recently called out former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping via Twitter. Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping was reportedly penciled in to face fellow former champion Rashad Evans in a rematch at the UFC s London event on March 17th. But as confirmed by Evans last week, Bisping s contract problems resulted in the cancellation of the supposed matchup.

It did not take long before The Count got a new possible opponent. On Sunday, middleweight contender Derek Brunson tweeted out a challenge directed at Bisping but did not specify when he wants the fight to take place.

Brunson 18-6, with 14 wins by stoppage , has so far gone on a decent streak in his last three fights, putting up a record of 2-1. After scoring first-round knockouts against Dan Kelly and Lyoto Machida, respectively in 2017, he lost via TKO against Ronaldo Souza in Charlotte last month in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Bisping 30-9, with 20 wins by stoppage , meanwhile, is coming off two straight stoppage losses, courtesy of Georges St-Pierre at UFC 217 last November 4th, and Kelvin Gastelum in Shanghai, China just three weeks later. It is expected that should Bisping compete again, it would mark the final fight of his career.
