Michael Bisping would be okay with Israel Adesanya getting an immediate title rematch and also made the case for Robert Whittaker as the next top contender.
This past Saturday, former UFC middleweight champion Adesanya faced longtime rival Alex Pereira in the headlining bout of UFC 281. Adesanya appeared to be on his way, ahead on the judges’ scorecards, to a victory when Pereira scored a fifth-round TKO to become the new 185-pound titleholder.
Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping took to YouTube to share his thoughts on Adesanya’s dominant reign before finally being defeated by Pereira.
“Now we don’t know what the UFC is going to do, I have no idea,” Bisping said (ht Middle Easy). “Me, personally, I think he’s he deserves a rematch. I think he has been such a great champion. He’s been entertaining. He’s been charismatic. He’s been a workhorse for the UFC. They said on the commentary that ever since Israel won the belt, he has competed in 20% of the UFC title fights. I mean, that is phenomenal.
“What a schedule, what a workload, the toll that takes on the body and mentally as well. It is incredibly draining. So maybe Izzy, you know, can go away and take a little bit of time out, a little bit of time and have a little well-earned rest.”
Bisping further argued former champion Robert Whittaker should be in line for a title shot if the rematch did not come to fruition.
“I would like to see an immediate rematch, failing that, it’s Alex Pereira versus Robert Whittaker,” he said. “Robert Whittaker is clearly the next guy in line if you ask me. He’s beaten everybody else and is head and shoulders as the next best guy after Israel. Well, of course, we got Pereira there now as well.
“So, Pereira as the champ, Izzy in my mind takes a little break, in the meantime, Pereira fights Robert Whittaker.”

In the fallout from UFC 281 on Saturday night, and despite suffering his third career loss to Brazilian phenom, Alex Pereira in combat sports, former middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya insists he can defeat the newly minted gold holder, as he calls for a rematch.
Headlining the Madison Square Garden card, Adesanya started well against Pereira, almost finishing the bout in the final seconds of the first round, connecting flush with a combination at the fence which severely wobbled the Sao Paulo native.
However, in the fifth and final round, despite building a 3-1 lead in the prior four rounds, Israel Adesanya was stopped with a barrage at the Octagon fence, with Pereira once more rallying to knockout the Nigerian-Kiwi – this time clinching undisputed UFC middleweight gold to boot.
Despite his continued run of losing form against former two-weight Glory Kickboxing champion, Pereira, Adesanya has not shied away from a potential rematch in mixed martial arts in the future, insisting he knows he can land a victory over the Brazilian.
“I hope he’s (Alex Pereira) still champion, I’m just saying hypothetically, I’ll still fight him,” Israel Adesanya said of a fight with Alex Pereira during an appearance on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani. “I’m crazy, bro. I can beat him, I know I can beat him, you’ve seen I can beat him. You know, I wouldn’t say luck – he just, invested well, a good game plan – he’s a good fighter. But I know – it’s my ego maybe, sure, I just believe I’m better.”
The defeat came as Adesanya’s first at the middleweight limit in his professional mixed martial arts career, having only suffered a light heavyweight division loss to Jan Blahcowicz back in March of last year in an unsuccessful title pursuit at 205 pounds.
