McGregor was out of action for three years after he broke his left leg at UFC 264. However, his inactivity didn’t hamper his popularity at all. The hype around his return against Michael Chandler is massive and the PPV has already broken the all-time record in sales. Moreover, as far-fetched as Bisping’s claims may sound, they are not that far from reality.
After Michael Bisping’s latest video on Conor McGregor went viral, it attracted some criticism from fight fans. Many blame the Brit for over-promoting McGregor. However, Bisping didn’t back out of his opinion at all.
In an X interaction with a user, Bisping revealed that McGregor potentially fighting for three belts is a fact.
