What a time to be alive, folks. Both those fights might actually happen.
One fight which is far less likely to happen is Bisping's fantasy one, which he explained on a recent installment of UFC Tonight.
"I would have to say 'Shogun' in his prime, I was a big fan of 'Shogun' when he was the Pride Grand Prix champion. I always wanted to fight him out of respect. Soccer kicks, head butts are allowed, of course. Stomps to the groin."For those of you who are unaware, Shogun was an absolute beast in the PRIDE era, with his only loss in 13 fights in the promotion coming at the hands of former UFC heavyweight champion Mark Coleman. Shogun soccer-kicked Rampage Jackson until the referee intervened and knocked out Alistair Overeem and Ricardo Arona under the PRIDE banner before signing with the UFC. Facing the Brazilian in his terrifying prime would be a huge test for the Count, but i's one that he wishes, perhaps foolishly, that he could turn back the clock for.
