It would appear that former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping is still interested in facing off against fellow mixed martial arts veteran Nick Diaz. Now “The Count” has decided to call the fighter out.
Former Strikeforce and WEC champion Nick Diaz is once again eligible to compete. The fighter is coming off of a suspension enforced by the United States Anti-Doping Agency following an anti-doping policy violation.
As of April 19, Diaz was deemed eligible to compete once again. Since them, the Stockton native has received a series of call outs from fellow octagon competitors.
Among them, former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping has now gone to Twitter to voice his interest in meeting Diaz inside the octagon. Check it out below:
“Maximum respect for @nickdiaz209 and would be an honour to fight him……. I’m just to big though…. right nick ?”
