UFC commentator Michael Bisping has explained whyIlia Topuriavs Islam Makhachev should happen at the UFC White House event this summer.
When we talk about the biggest names in mixed martial arts today, especially with active competitors, Ilia Topuria andIslam Makhachevare at the top of the list. These two men are champions at 155 and 170 pounds, two of the best divisions in the entire sport. They have also been heavily linked with a fight against one another for a long time now.
Whether or not that actually comes to fruition, of course, remains to be seen, but it certainly feels like it would be a waste if it doesn’t happen. Neither man currently has a fight booked, but it does feel like we are drifting towards Ilia Topuria vsJustin Gaethjeand Islam Makhachev vs Kamaru Usman.
In arecent videoon his channel, Michael Bisping explained why we should be seeing Ilia Topuria and Islam Makhachev facing off at the White House.
🤔Michael Bisping makes the case for Ilia Topuria vs Islam Makhachev at the White House"This is once in a lifetime occasion, it's going down in the White House lawn, president Trump will be there. The whole world will be tuning in"[email protected]/6hycorpaLC
“There’s no bigger fight right now, in mu humble opinion, than Islam Makhachev vs Ilia Topuria.”
“I know Justin is the interim, and Ilia is the undisputed, and that should happen, it really should. But this is a once in a lifetime occasion. It’s going down on the White House lawn, President Trump will be there, the whole world will be tuning in. That’s a fact.”
“There’s going to be billions of people watching this. They wanna put on the biggest fights, so unfortunately, in this situation, Justin Gaethje is gonna have to wait.”
There are quite a few things that need to fall into place for this to happen, but it would undoubtedly be the biggest fight that can be made right now when you consider the stakes involved.
