“Take note rest of the world ,” Michael Bisping and Jake Shields share their appreciation for Asian countries
Singapore- Michael Bisping
Seems like UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping is already a fan of Singapore even though it’s just his first time in the Asian country. Bisping is in Singapore to commentate for UFC 275 fight card. UFC 275 is the first numbered UFC PPV event to be hosted by an Asian country. UFC 275 is headlined by a light-heavyweight title fight between the champion Glover Teixeira and the challenger Jiri Prochazka. Teixeira is the oldest first-time UFC champion in history.
Besides the main event, the co-main event has a women’s flyweight title fight between reigning defending champion Valentina Shevchenko and fast-rising prospect Taila Santos. Other fights are a rematch between former UFC women’s strawweight champions Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Zhang Weili, a flyweight battle between Manel Kape and Rogerio Bontorin and a welterweight scrap with Jack Della Maddalena and Ramazan Emeev.
Michael Bisping’s compliment for Singapore reminds Jake Shields of Japan
Bisping takes to Twitter to appreciate how eco-friendly the country of Singapore is. Bisping is commentating alongside fellow Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier and longtime UFC broadcaster Jon Anik. Bisping wrote on Twitter “Been here in Singapore for almost a week and I haven’t seen a single piece of plastic. Take note rest of the world.“
Former UFC title challenger and Strikeforce world champion Jake Shields shares a similar experience with Bisping but for a different country, so he replies to Bisping’s tweet by saying, “Japan is the same”
What do you make of Bisping’s compliment about Singapore and Shields putting an example of another country in terms of the ecosystem? Have you ever been to Singapore or Japan? What are your predictions for the UFC 275 fight card and what do you think is the future of fighters in Asia in terms of opportunity from the UFC?
