So many times over the course of his career, Michael Bisping has found himself on the verge of a middleweight title shot.

But never has the 37-year old Brit had a stronger case than he does in 2016.

On Monday's MMA Hour, Bisping said a potential title shot has already come up in conversation with UFC president Dana White.

"He said ‘what's next?'" Bisping recalled of a phone conversation two days after the Silva fight. "I said ‘you know I want that title shot, Dana.' He said ‘let's see how things play out.' I said ‘Dana, I think I deserve that shot.' Of course he said ‘let's see how these things play out.' I said ‘you son of a b----‘ But, I'm happy to wait, I deserve the next shot."

"I think I deserve it," Bisping said. "I think the middleweight division is a complicated landscape at the moment. I don't see who there is next. I see Jacare [Souza] beating Vitor [Belfort]. But no matter who wins, they'd all be rematches. Mine would be a rematch, Jacare would be a rematch, Vitor would be a rematch, Weidman is a rematch. I think mine is a compelling case, and we'll see what the UFC wants to do, but I deserve it."

Just got done listening to that interview. I have to admit, there's a good case for him to get a shot. As Bisping said, everything else in that division is a rematch with the guys who are the top title contenders.

This guy got knocked out in his last fight but still got the decision and now he wants a title shot? Silva scrambled his eggs

Shit I can only imagine a weekend in Vegas with Joemacka @Joemacka. I'd probably want to punch him in the face after five minutes due to all his shit talking/bragging, but still it would be a blast.

Joe Macka: "Hey mate, remember that time I predicted Magny to beat Lombard by TKO in the 3rd round? That was on the same night I predicted Hunt to KO Mir in round 1."

Me: "Yeah, man, I remember. You just told me this same story five fucking minutes ago."

Hahahaha sounds about right. Hopefully Weidman some how beats Rockhold then Bisping can put a 5 round beating on him.

Bisping vs. Weidman is what makes the most sense to me.
I don't like seeing Weidman get another crack after a stoppage loss and Bisping shouldn't get a crack at the title after getting a gift.
