The former UFC Middleweight champion, Michael Bisping, will be remembered for his awesome showdown with the UFC Legend, Georges St-Pierre at the UFC 217. The fight drew a massive audience to itself right from the buildup to the fight night. Bisping was also elected as a UFC and ESPN analyst owing to his superb work on the mic. Being an analyst, Bisping possesses in-depth knowledge of the sport. It also subjects him to a lot of MMA questions.

Lately, Bisping was questioned about the choice of his current best UFC striker. The Brit’s reply to this question might have raised quite a few eyebrows. Numerous fans also presented their views as comments to Bisping’s tweeted reply to the asked question.

Bisping kept it short and simple when it came to replying. He simply stated, “Israel adasanye.”

Apart from deriding Bisping and choosing ‘Poatan’ as the best striker, some fans also gave other opinions on this issue. One of them saw the current UFC Welterweight champion Leon Edwards, as the apex striker of the promotion.

He wrote, “Leon Edwards no doubt about it”.

One more fan had a different choice as the current best striker of the UFC. His comment was in favor of Alexander Volkanovski. It read, “Volk. Outclassing another guy who could lay claim to that.”

Another follower gave out his choice, stating, “Jack Della Madallena”. 

While one follower had Bisping‘s back for all the negativity he was facing for just giving out his choice. The follower commented, “people are very butthurt about your opinion”.

It is quite understandable that there will be a huge difference of opinions between different persons regarding this question.
