Conor McGregor is one of the biggest names in the UFC and the fans are waiting eagerly for his return. The 35-year-old was last seen inside the Octagon at UFC 264 where he suffered a catastrophic leg injury. The injury forced him to stay out of action for three years now. However, the former two-division champion is all set to return to the Octagon after a recent X post revealed his return date.

McGregor is not only famous for his fighting skills but also because of his ability to get under the skin of his opponents. Michael Bisping, in a recent YouTube video, shared his experience with the Dubliner as well. Let us find out what the former UFC champion had to say.

Michael Bisping reveals how he used to get affected by McGregor

Michael Bisping and Conor McGregor have never fought with each other in their career. However, the pair was involved in a Twitter war in 2022 after McGregor mocked Bisping’s acting career. The 35-year-old threatened to “go to war” with the former UFC champion. Bisping also advised the two-division champion to walk around with bodyguards with him when they cross paths next. However, the Twitter war ended after the pair made peace on Social Media.

However, in his recent YouTube video, Bisping cleared the air and said: “No, but listen, I used to be kind of emotionally influenced by some of the comments I would say. But I’m totally over all that stuff now. Because McGregor used to get on my t..s you know what I mean. Because he came after me in public and he said a lot of s..t. So sometimes I might let my emotions skew my take.”

Bisping, then went on to commend the former lightweight champion, adding, “He’s entertaining, he’s good for the sport, he’s the biggest star. So as a fan, I say it’s frustrating because I just wanna see him back in there. And I need some s..t to talk about for the podcast and for my YouTube channel.”

Conor McGregor took to his X account to reveal the date for his return. He also picked Michael Chandler as his next opponent. The pair have been waiting for a long time to lock horns against each other, and it seems the fight will finally happen. However, Bisping believes there is a lot in store for the Dubliner next.
