UFC Belem’s Lyoto Machida: A fight with Michael Bisping ‘would mean a lot’

UFC Fight Night 125 could have been the last time we saw Lyoto Machida in the Octagon but ‘The Dragon’ managed to eek out a split decision win over Eryk Anders and snap a three-fight losing streak in front of his countrymen in Belem, Brazil.

Machida, a former UFC light heavyweight champion, immediately called out fellow MMA veteran and ex-middleweight champ Michael Bisping in the post-fight interview: “Michael Bisping, I’m here for you, man!”

Machida followed up at the post-fight press conference, stating that both he and Bisping are nearing the end of their careers and could entertain the fans in a possible retirement fight.
