Michael Bisping’s Predictions – Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler

Bisping is someone who knows a lot about the sport, having been a UFC fighter for the greater part of his life. He recently gave his two cents on Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler.

After spending a lot of time away from the UFC, Conor McGregor was supposed to make his comeback this year and face his old TUF rival Michael Chandler. However, the Irishman didn’t join the USADA pool, even after repeated warnings and intimations from the committee.

However, Michael Bisping said that McGregor still has a chance of getting back on the horse, if he stays off of whatever he is ‘on’. The UFC legend said that the Irishman has 7 months to get into shape by eating right and training and joining the USADA pool so that the match-up can be confirmed for December, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Is Michael Bisping right about Conor McGregor? Will his new movie, which happens to be a sequel, be as good as the first one? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
