Brunson calls out Bisping, shows off signed fight contract
The list of fighters lining up to punch Michael Bisping in the face is a mile long. It grew a little longer Tuesday after Derek Brunson called out the former middleweight king.
Brunson, the seventh-ranked middleweight, took to Twitter to petition the sixth-ranked fighter in the division for a bout and went as far as posting a picture of a signed fight contract. The date, opponent, and event has been redacted, however.
Dear @bisping,

You’re no easy fight. Obviously you’re ranked ahead of me... it only makes sense for a #6 being you and #7 being me to fight. Upside for both of us. The top half of the division is older than us both stop crying. You aren’t going anywhere, neither am I. pic.twitter.com/3mTRfZqKns
Bisping has said he's looking for one more fight before retirement and agreed to face Lyoto Machida next, but Machida was just booked to face Vitor Belfort at UFC 224.
