I was trying to think and Darren Till is the perfect answer,&#8221; he said (transcript via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmanews.com\/michael-bisping-explains-why-robbie-lawler-vs-darren-till-makes-sense\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MMA News<\/a>). &#8220;I mean Till\u2019s gonna need a fight. He\u2019s taking some time off, he\u2019s on a two-fight losing streak, Robbie\u2019s on a three-fight losing streak. I think that\u2019s a good matchup for both of them. It\u2019s a good matchup for Darren.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Michael Bisping would like to see a welterweight battle between Lawler and Till, he also understands that Till might move up to the 185-pound middleweight division. Till, who has previously struggled \u2014 and even failed \u2014 to make the welterweight division&#8217;s 170-pound limit, has long hinted at this possibility. If it doesn&#8217;t happen, though, Bisping believes the UFC should commit to Lawler vs. Till.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not sure if Darren\u2019s gonna go up to 185,&#8221; Bisping said. &#8220;There has been talk of that, rumors of that. I think that\u2019s a tremendous fight and a really good piece of matchmaking. Both of those guys match up really well. Neither man looking for a takedown. Both good strikers. Both big names in the division, ticks all the boxes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of this suggestion from Michael Bisping?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 8\/8\/2019. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping is putting on his matchmaker hat, and he wants to see a welterweight fight between Darren Till and Robbie Lawler.
