UFC star Conor McGregor last held UFC gold in 2018 when the lightweight championship exchanged hands with Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 233. The Irishman who captivated the MMA world could only muster a sole win since then and his fortunes have gone downhill. However, his recent slump didn’t put a dent in his reputation as he is billed to earn a shot at the title next. While the details of the much-awaited comeback fight of ‘Notorious’ are still being chalked out, a win against Michael Chandler might establish him as next in the line. The UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping theorized the same when he spoke his mind. Despite the Dublin-born finding an ally in the British fighter, the speculations might not sit well with Justin Gaethje.

Notably, ‘The Count’ voiced his aid to the growing belief of the Irish fighter seizing the #1 contender spot. Further, he theorized racking a win against ‘Iron’, and given his global megastar reputation, a title opportunity next is a foregone conclusion.

Bisping believes a title shot is in sight for ‘megastar’ Conor McGregor

The Brit in a video on his YouTube channel said, “[Conor] McGregor is 100% on the money here. He got a title fight of one win over Chandler. So if it’s good for the goose, it’s good for the gander.”

Following this, the 44-year-old pointed out ‘The Highlight’ bagged a shot at the title after a win against Michael Chandler. Therefore, the former middleweight champion continued, “If it’s good for Gaethje, then why can’t it be good for McGregor? And especially when you combine the fact that listen, Conor McGregor took this sport by storm.”
