Demian Maia is not due for a bout with Michael Bisping, at least not yet. Jorge Rivera has that job at UFC 127.
That’s according to Rivera’s manager, Lex McMahon, who today spoke to
MMAjunkie.com and shot down Maia’s claim that the UFC wants him to fight
Bisping in his next appearance.
“Demian’s comments are misplaced,” McMahon said of statements Maia gave on Monday to GracieMag.com. “It’s Jorge’s fight. He’s going to carry the torch, and he’s going to take Bisping out.”
