[Ngannou is] getting better all the time. He\u2019s learning how to sprawl. He beat Stipe Miocic, the greatest heavyweight of all time, and last time we saw him, he beat Ciryl Gane, he showed evolution. He showed some new wrinkles, he showed some takedowns. But how would he do against Jon Jones? That is the big fight that everyone has to see, and it absolutely has to happen in 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><b>Marlon Vera vs Sean O\u2019Malley 2<\/b><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI\u2019m a fan of them both, but they\u2019ve got to fight again, and the reason why is because they are on the trajectory. They are two of the biggest stars in the bantamweight division.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><b>Khamzat Chimaev vs Colby Covington<\/b><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cKhamzat is saying he can\u2019t get a fight. Colby Covington currently doesn\u2019t have a fight. There\u2019s a lot at stake for both men in this fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><b>Conor McGregor vs Jorge Masvidal<\/b><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI want to see [McGregor] against someone who\u2019s going to put on an exciting fight. I don\u2019t want to see someone try and wrestle him. And I\u2019m not saying Conor couldn\u2019t beat those guys, but he\u2019s probably going to fight at 170.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI want to see him in a fun fight. I want to see him against someone who will stand toe-to-toe. That\u2019s what Masvidal will do. Masvidal toe-to-toe, standing on the feet, is as game as they come. He\u2019s as fast, he\u2019s as quick, he\u2019s as technical and he\u2019s as nasty. Could you imagine the trash talk leading up to it? Pay-per-view bonanza.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>Quotes via <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.usatoday.com\/lists\/ufc-opinion-michael-bisping-analysis-must-see-matchups-2023-conor-mcgregor-vs-jorge-masvidal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMA Junkie<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In addition to these four MMA fights, Bisping also expressed his interest in seeing Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>What do you think of Michael Bisping\u2019s ideas?
