In just under a month, UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping will make his highly anticipated first title defense when he steps into the Octagon to fight Dan Henderson in the main event of UFC 204 in Manchester, England. Ahead of the fight, Bisping has been extremely vocal about the fact that he believes he will avenge his UFC 100 loss to Henderson, and put on a spectacular display for the Manchester fans.

Not long ago, in the main event of UFC 202, Conor McGregor stole a majority decision from Nate Diaz, avenging an earlier loss to the same man and reestablishing himself as one of the game’s best fighters with the win. The strange thing about McGregor, however, is that he’s spent the entirety of his UFC career fighting at weight classes that do not appear to be the ideal fit for him. At featherweight, where he won the divisional title, he faced a brutal weight cut. At welterweight, where he would go 1-1 with Diaz, he was clearly undersized. Yet now that he’s achieved his title goals at featherweight, and avenged his welterweight loss to Diaz, the Irishman appears poised to shift to the division that seems to be his best fit: lightweight.
