Former UFC champion Michael Bisping believes Waldo Cortes-Acosta deserves a world title shot if he is able to get through Derrick Lewis at UFC 324.
In just two months, Waldo Cortes-Acosta will lock horns with Derrick Lewis as he attempts to continue his meteoric rise up through the heavyweight division in the UFC. He is coming off the back of a knockout win (on short notice) over Shamil Gaziev, which took his record for 2025 to an incredible 4-1. As you can tell by the news we’ve just discussed, he certainly isn’t messing around.
Waldo Cortes-Acosta made it clear that he wants to go after the gold and while the title picture is a bit fuzzy at the moment while we wait for more news regarding Tom Aspinall’s condition, all Waldo can do is focus on his own game and stay active – which is precisely what he’s doing.
