Michael Bisping sees Kai Asakura facing a potential hurdle at UFC 310.
Former RIZIN bantamweight champion Asakura (21-4 MMA, 0-0 UFC) challenges UFC flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja (28-5 MMA, 12-3 UFC) on Dec. 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN2, ESPN+). Asakura will get a title shot in his UFC debut, but with Pantoja’s heavy pace and grappling style, Bisping is curious to see how the Japanese star adapts to fighting in a cage.
“The big difference between PRIDE and the UFC is that they are competing in a ring,” Bisping said on his YouTube channel. “And the reason why this is going to be interesting is because, has he adapted his style to the UFC? Has he been training in a cage?”
