GLASGOW, Scotland – At 36 years old, Michael Bisping has been competing in the UFC’s famed octagon for nearly a decade. But will “The Count” ever have a chance to fight for gold?

Bisping has made it clear that 23 fights into his UFC career, he still holds aspirations to reach the top of the sport. He’s fought the best of the best in the UFC’s middleweight division, but inconsistent results over the past few years have kept him from earning a shot at the belt.

On Saturday, Bisping (26-7 MMA, 16-7 UFC) takes on Brazilian submission specialist Thales Leites (25-4 MMA, 10-3 UFC) in the main event of UFC Fight Night 72 in Glasgow, Scotland. It’s Bisping’s first time fighting in Europe since 2010, but the Brit doesn’t see it as a homecoming tour. Instead, Bisping sees the importance in picking up a win and keeping his name relevant in the 185-pound title picture.

Bisping currently sits at No. 10 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA middleweight rankings, while Leites checks in at No. 8.

Ahead of the matchup, we asked some of Bisping’s fellow UFC Fight Night 72 fighters if they believe he will, indeed, one day fight for a UFC title. Check out the video above to hear their thoughts.
