On November 4, in the main event of the absurdly stacked UFC 217, UFC middleweight king Michael Bisping will attempt to defend his title opposite returning former welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre<\/a>. This fight registers as one of the biggest of the year, and from the sounds of it, Bisping could follow it with another massive showdown.<\/p>\n

Speaking on his podcast, Believe You Me<\/a>, the ever-dangerous middleweight champ suggested a fight with UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier could well be the next move, if UFC 217 goes his way.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cSpeaking of guys that think they can take me \u2013which of course when I say this, most people are gonna think he can take me \u2013 I was working with Daniel Cormier at the weekend and all he kept talking about all weekend was, \u2018Mike, I want to fight you next. I want to fight you.\u2019 On air, off air, at the hotel, constantly. He was like, \u2018Mike, I will break you within five minutes.\u2019 Dude, are you crazy? Do you really believe that?\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"Daniel<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if he\u2019s joking or if he\u2019s serious, but if he is serious, I\u2019ll fight him next even though I said last week I\u2019m gonna retire,” Bisping continued. “I would fight Daniel Cormier because that would be a huge fight. DC is a great guy, he\u2019s hilarious, hell of a fighter and he seems to be targeting a fight with me. So DC, if you\u2019re serious, which I kind of think you are, then yeah, screw it, if only to annoy everyone in the world I will, again, fight somebody who doesn\u2019t fight at middleweight.<\/a>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Bisping closed with a bit of a warning to Cormier:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI used to fight at 205, Dan. I was 15-0 so be careful what you wish for.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
