Bisping criticized Strickland.

Michael Bisping, former UFC middleweight champion and current commentator and analyst, criticized Sean Strickland for his reluctance to fight Robert Whittaker.

"You can't sit back. You have to go in the cage, defend your position, keep doing your thing and get better with every training camp. Prove that you are the uncrowned champion," Bisping said in a video on his YouTube channel.

Recall, in his last fight, Strickland won by split decision over Paulo Costa.
