Fans flocked to Reddit to express their opinion, and some of the comments by enthusiasts are:
- He is the most monotone beige reporter in MMA
- This tweet is talking about Okamoto ranking izzy number 1 at 185 and Strickland 5
- Bisping is not a good interviewer though? He’s actually worst of the usual people who do octagon interviews
- Brett does interviews like a bored house cat
- Okamoto is such a boring corporate tool
- I love bisping as a person. And I love him in a lot of sh*t. And think he is better than Brett but I don’t really love the idea of him doing it full time either.
- A lot of people seem to be in damage control with this Izzy loss.
- It wasn’t a bad performance, he’s just not as good at kickboxing as Strickland is. Plain and simple
Based on the reactions of the fans it can be inferred that they agree with McGregor. Some even debated that Michael Bisping is far better at taking interviews and journalism than him.
