Agreed. Sakara is way to good standing for the UFC to risk Bisbing going 3 out 4 on the wrong side. "British invasion" hype that the UFC is using Mike right now, but in a few more fights I could see Daley or Ross Person or hell even Hardy becoming the posterboy for the Brits..

That's what I was thinking. I think Sakara vs Bisping is a great idea. I'm not going to discredit Sakara, cause he's a great fighter, and I'm a huge fan, but if Bisping can't get past him at Middleweight, then it might just be time to be rid of him. This has got war written all over it, and it's a real test to determine both fighters' future careers. If Bisping has to go, then so be it. There's 3 great fighters coming up that would be bigger for England in the coming year or so then Bisping....

I would love to see this fight. I would also love to see Sakara whoop Bisping's ass.
But this fight would end with Bisping taking him to the ground a bunch.

i respect what sakara is trying to say with this potential fight but problem is i dont know any other italian national fighters, bisping became known as the leader or frontrunner of a whole stable of decent fighters from the uk in the case of italy i pretty much only know sakara, its entirely possible that im just ignorant of italian fighters but for now im assuming im not the only one having trouble remembering italian born and trained fighters, at this point sakara to me is like the godfather without a family, sort of
sakara should fight gerald harris or mcfedris if hes still around someone with explosive power but average chin i guess bisping fits that some extent

I keep hearing that Alessio is weak on the ground but remember Thales had him down and couldn't keep him there or submit him.

[The8thPlague]

True.
And I wouldn't say he's Weak necessarily, that's just not his Best area of performance.

But I still wanna see this fight.
Then if Sakara wins maybe see him fight the loser of the Akiyama/Wanderlei fight.
That'd be Sick!!!

I only wish good things for Sakara.

I would definitely like to see this fight though, would be pretty exciting.

I'd have to agree here. Sakara, against the lower tier of the MW division, is win some, lose some. I think winning this fight does nothing for Bisping though.

It would be a step up for Sakara, but a step down for Bisping. Unfortunately for Bisping, he should take the step down because Sakara is the type of fighter he should be fighting, not Henderson or Wanderlei.


Either way, an exciting fight.

I'm thinking he'd KO Bisping's ass, and I'd love to see it!

This would be a high risk/low reward fight for Bisping. But who cares? Make them fight! It would be exciting no doubt!
