Mike Bisping, a former UFC middleweight champion and now an analyst and commentator, explained why the organization's lightweight champion Islam Makhachev you shouldn't fight the welterweight champion Leon Edwards.

“We all want to be great, we all want to be two-weight champions. But he needs to defend against someone at lightweight. It's so obvious. His last two fights were with featherweight champion Volkanovski. Now he has to give someone a chance. It could be Justin Gaethje, Charles Oliveira or someone else. There are a lot of competitors in the lightweight division...” said Bisping.
