Bisping wants Sonnen next

British MMA star Michael Bisping has revealed that he is keen to be matched up with Chael Sonnen.

Bisping, who defeated Jorge Rivera I his last fight, believes Sonnen is ‘an amazing fighter’ and will be a ‘challenge’.

“I want to fight Chael Sonnen because No. 1, he’s an amazing fighter,” Bisping said in a Monday appearance on MMA Fighting’s The MMA Hour.

“When he fought last, he looked fantastic, and I want to challenge myself. He’s the No. 2 ranked middleweight in the world. Obviously I can’t fight No. 1 because he’s got a title shot, so I want to fight the No. 2 guy.”
