Top ranked UFC middleweight contender Michael Bisping may currently be on a tear of the UFC’s middleweight division<\/a>, going on a 5-fight winning streak throughout 2015 and 2016 that saw him pick up wins over CB Dollaway, Thales Leites, and Anderson Silva before then picking up a short-notice win over Luke Rockhold<\/a> to win the UFC middleweight championship at UFC 199. <\/p>\n

In his first title defense, Bisping had a highly anticipated rematch with Dan Henderson in the main event of UFC 204 in October of 2016, where he picked up a unanimous decision win, avenging his infamous UFC 100 KO loss<\/a>, and picking up his first successful title defense.<\/p>\n

The way Jacare Souza sees it however, Bisping isn’t an ideal champion. He spoke to MMAJunkie<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe truth is that (Bisping) doesn\u2019t fight for his honor, or for his family,\u201d Souza said. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t even fight for himself. He\u2019s a guy who only thinks about money. He only thinks about doing his thing and fighting for money. That\u2019s his first choice. He doesn\u2019t care about his fans. He doesn\u2019t care what the fans want. The fans are the ones who pay for this scoundrel\u2019s salary, so he better respect them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m the guy to fight for the belt,\u201d Jacare Souza said. \u201cEveryone knows that I\u2019m the most viable option for the UFC in terms of media, pay-per-view sales, everything. Everyone knows that Bisping\u2019s fight with Dan Henderson was a disaster.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey didn\u2019t even show how many pay-per-view packages it sold. It certainly was a disaster. No one was interested in watching that crappy fight. The UFC sold the tickets in six minutes, because of Bisping \u2013 if he wasn\u2019t there, they\u2019d have sold out in three minutes.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Souza of course is currently gearing up for his UFC 208 scrap with Tim Boetsch<\/a> in February, where he could potentially move one step closer to a title fight.<\/p>\n
