Michael Bisping believes Francis Ngannou was a true MMA vs. boxing crossover fight

Michael Bisping recently weighed in on the heavyweight boxing bout between Francis Ngannou and lineal heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury.

The former UFC middleweight champion praised Ngannou for his performance against Fury and noted that he believed that he should have been awarded with the decision win. He mentioned that there had been a stigma against MMA fighters competing in boxing bouts because of Jake Paul's bouts and believes that 'The Predator' silenced the doubters in a true MMA vs. boxing crossover bout, saying:

"Jake Paul's out there, he's cherry picking...weaker, older opponents, right? Where the fire has gone out...Finally now, once and for all, we got a true crossover between MMA guys in their prime [Ngannou vs. Fury] and what was the other time, Conor McGregor-Floyd Mayweather and Conor did alright."
