Finally, we’ll end things for this day after taking a look at the famed former UFC Middleweight champion, Michael Bisping’s advice for the noted UFC icon, Conor McGregor.

Michael Chandler revealed his tension after knowing about the TUF offer

With TUF 31 all set to air on 30 May, Conor McGregor’s rival coach Michael Chandler still remembers his mental condition after he heard that he was elected as McGregor’s opponent for TUF 31. Recently, ‘Iron’ appeared on the YouTube channel of ESPN MMA having a conversation with the noted, Jon Anik. After a few other topics, Chandler also addressed the same issue in the video.

The ’37-year-old’ also revealed that despite spending a good “15 years” in the sport, he had never been inclined towards coaching. Chandler said, “As a guy who has been in the sport for 15 years, I am looked at like a, you know, a veteran of the sport. So, when I’m training with guys, I get asked a lot of things, but I’ve never actually been in a coaching role”.

He further revealed, “So, to be honest with you, I was a little bit scared about it. But I think it worked out really well. And I think I found my footing there”. Well, it will be interesting to witness how tough of a competitor ‘Iron’ will be for ‘The Notorious’.

Francis Ngannou fired another tweet at Dana White amidst their feud

It was apparent that the UFC boss, Dana White, wasn’t pleased with Francis Ngannou’s UFC exit. Since then, White had taken multiple jibes at Ngannou. The former UFC Heavyweight champ has also been swift regarding matching up White’s shots with his own ones. Recently, Ngannou took another jibe at the UFC boss as he fired two tweets at him.

Ngannou’s tweets were about the coveted bout between him and the current UFC Heavyweight kingpin, Jon Jones. Despite being one of the most anticipated ones, the bout never actually came to fruition since Ngannou departed from the UFC before ‘Bones’ return. Hence, Ngannou presented another opportunity before White to get the bout scheduled. His tweet read, “If you ever really want that Jon Jones fight to happen reach out to @PeteMurrayPFL”.

Even though ‘The Predator’ wanted to settle things with Bones, it was apparent that he wasn’t going back to the UFC for it. In his second tweet, Ngannou took a more direct shot at White. He put up a clip from the UFC 260 press conference where White bas heard bashing ‘Bones’ for his inactivity despite big talks.

Ngannou mocked the UFC boss’s changing narratives about this fight tweeting, “Who really is scared? Jon, me … or you? $$$$ Make up your mind”.

Well, it’s almost certain that the ‘Bones’ vs Nagnnou fight won’t be happening inside the UFC octagon. Hence, can Ngannou’s taunts lead the UFC boss to take his suggested way and work out an inter-UFC-PFL fight between Jones and himself?

Michael Bisping advised Conor McGregor prior to his octagon return

Almost the entire UFC community had accused McGregor of using prohibited substances during his time out of the UFC. But with his next fight coming up soon, McGregor recently entered the USADA testing pool to gain clearance for it. In such situations, the noted former UFC Middleweight champ and current UFC analyst, Michael Bisping, gave out rather valuable advice for ‘Mystic Mac’.

Bisping brought up the topic that athletes were required to stay in the USDA testing pool for six months prior to their fight. He also explained, “Where are we at now? May. So six months, you can fight at the end of the year”. But the month of November was already booked for the coveted Heavyweight title bout between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic. Hence Bisping, after all calculations, stated, “So the final card of the year at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas [in December], they still have seven months for that”

Hence, he advised McGregor, stating, “He’s got to get off the good stuff, and get back on protein shakes and porridge, and we’ll be good”.

Bisping, a UK native, probably wanted McGregor to return inside the octagon as soon as possible. Do you feel things will go according to his predictions?
