The two fighters I want to see Bisping defend against:
1. Jacare. The most deserving and highest ranked out of those who should get a shot. Have Rockhold and Weidman fight each other for a challenger to the winner. Plus, huge style differences make for good fights. Curious to see how Bisping tries to neutralize threat of a TD and keep Jacare on the edge of his range. Jacare's ground skills are obviously what they are, and he is also a great athlete who is always in great shape.
2. Gegard: The opposite in a way of Jacare in terms of style...would be more aligned from a tactical striking POV and interesting to see how both play to each other's skill-sets. I think Gegard's striking is overall the best in the division from a technical POV, Bisping's is obviously pretty strong and uses his technique in this type of engagement. Gegard is no slouch on the mat either.
Also, want Dan Hardy doing color commentary for the match. Figure they can exploit the whole UK thing, plus Dan is pretty smart and articulate.
