Derek Brunson wants to fight for the UFC middleweight title
Shortly after his win over Darren Till at UFC Vegas 36, Derek Brunson made it clear that he wants to fight for the UFC middleweight championship. Having previously fought reigning champion Israel Adesanya, Brunson will be hoping to avenge his loss to 'The Last Stylebender'.
While it remains to be seen what decision the UFC will make regarding Derek Brunson, it has pretty much been confirmed that Adesanya will be defending his gold against Robert Whittaker next. Another win over 'The Reaper' could open up the door for a title shot for Brunson.
