Michael Bisping: A retirement fight against Lyoto Machida ‘ticks all the boxes’

Lyoto Machida got back in the win column, taking a split decision over Eryk Anders in the main event of UFC Belem last weekend. Afterwards, Machida called for a fight with former middleweight champion Michael Bisping, saying that both men were near retirement and the fight would “mean a lot.”

Well, Bisping is open to the idea.

Speaking recently on his Believe You Me podcast, Bisping addressed Machida’s call out, saying that he has a lot of respect for the former light heavyweight champion and that a final fight against “The Dragon” would be a fitting way to end his career.
