“That is the best fight for the UFC.”

“I just want to win. If I’m ultimately going to win Michael Bisping’s title, I just have to get out here, keep winning, keep my title. And get ready,” Brunson said.

“He didn’t do anything that I hadn’t seen before,” Brunson said.

“He’s a tough guy, he’s very aggressive, he’s here to fight.”
