Bisping criticized Topuria for not wanting to fight Tsarukyan

Michael Bisping, former UFC middleweight champion and now commentator and analyst, criticized the lightweight champion Ilia Topuria for avoiding a fight with Arman Tsarukyan

“Arman Tsarukyan is a real threat to anyone in lightweight. He has everything: wrestling, striking technique, endurance, strength, youth... He is just a monster. Ilia Topuria said that if the UFC forces him to fight Arman, he will refuse the belt. This is a bad sign for someone who has just become a champion. Judging by merit, Arman is a real man. If you are a champion, you must meet the best,” Bisping’s words are quoted by the AgFight portal.
