Retired mixed martial arts veteran, expert and commentator Michael Bisping believes that UFC bosses should bring down the promotion's lightweight champion Islam Makhacheva with ex-temporary title holder Justin Gaethje.
Previously, the Dagestani repeatedly stated that he wants to perform at the UFC 299 tournament, scheduled for March 9 in Miami.
“Gaethje vs Islam – this fight just begs to be. Justin is ranked second in the UFC lightweight rankings, while Oliveira is ranked first. Charles already had a chance to rematch with Makhachev, but dropped out due to a cut. Well, whoever didn’t make it was late, right? And Gaethje damn well deserves a title shot. So let’s have this fight,” Bisping said in the latest episode of his YouTube channel.
