UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping is currently waiting in limbo to find out if former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre<\/a> will comply with his terms for their targeted fight. While the UFC announced that the fight would go down in 2017, Bisping recently informed St-Pierre that he will not wait until the former champ is ready to fight. Instead, Bisping informed St-Pierre that unless he is willing to fight in July, The Count will give the middleweight title shot to Yoel Romero.<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, in an editorial piece for Champions.co<\/a>, Michael Bisping revealed that he wants to fight light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier, however he knows that realistically the fight will never materialize:<\/p>\n

\"Michael<\/p>\n

Last week, I saw Luke Rockhold calling out Fabricio Werdum, and I thought to myself, \u2018You know, that\u2019s not a bad idea.\u2019 Listen, I\u2019d love to face #DanielCormier and I think I\u2019d do very well against him, to be honest. But, you\u2019ve got to be realistic. The UFC aren\u2019t going to let me do that or anyone else right now.<\/p>\n

You know why people want to go up a weight division and try to take on the other champion? It\u2019s because there\u2019s no risk involved. If you lose, you\u2019re still the champion of your weight class. If you pull it off, you\u2019re a legend now, you\u2019re a two-division champ. That\u2019s the beauty in doing it, and of course, if you have a champion vs. champion match, it will do good business and net a big payday.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d have nothing to lose, and that\u2019s why Tyron Woodley offered up his guns, because he won\u2019t have anything to lose. The only thing he\u2019d lose is brain cells, because I\u2019d take his head clean off his shoulders. That said, I\u2019ve got no interest in shadow-boxing for 25 minutes, so I\u2019m going to have to take a pass on that. I said that in my tweet and I\u2019ll reiterate it here: Tyron is the one texting me, \u2018Let\u2019s do a catch-weight at 180 pounds.\u2019 He\u2019s still not really even man enough to go up to 185.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Daniel<\/p>\n

Do you think we will ever see a champion vs. champion fight vs. Bisping & Cormier? <\/p>\n
