"This is a good idea. This is nice. To be the best you must train with the best. And I from the Muay Thai. I think my biggest strength is uh striking... So that's not a bad idea. That's nice. Also I love Rico Verhoeven. He's really good, so its nice."

Michael Bisping on Francis Ngannou vs. Ciryl Gane not happening in France
UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou is all set to defend his title for the first time against interim heavyweight champ Ciryl Gane at UFC 270. The show is scheduled to take place on January 22, 2022 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
Michael Bisping looks to be disappointed that the bout will not take place in France. The former UFC middleweight champion called out the promotion for not hosting the match in France as both fighters started their initial training for the sport in Paris, at the MMA Factory gym.
“Now, this fight’s taking place in Anaheim. It’s a shame it’s not taking place in France. That would have been such an amazing fight to put on in France because mixed martial arts was banned for the longest time in France. Tremendous fighters come from France. I’ve fought some of the kickboxers that they have, some legendary fighters come from there. Many great fighters come from France but mixed martial arts was always banned there."
