Courtesy of Damon Martin and official MMAWeekly.com content partner Bleacher Report . Costa Philippou is gunning for a fight when he returns later this year, and he couldn’t think of a better opponent to face than perennial UFC bad boy Michael Bisping . Philippou was most recently scheduled for UFC on FX 8 in a bout against Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza, but the New York-based fighter suffered a deep cut during training that forced him out of the bout. Now with the wound almost healed, Philippou has one name on his radar, and he’s doing everything in his power to make the fight happen. “He’s a huge name. Obviously beating Bisping it would put me in the top three, and it works for Bisping too because beating me, it will get him up in the top of the ranks.
