Apart from holding multiple UFC records, former middleweight champion Michael Bisping is one of the more outspoken fighters to have been on the roster.

During his long tenure with the organization, Michael Bisping was a staple of the middleweight division. The title eluded him, however, and until he got the shocking upset over Luke Rockhold. Some might argue his name would’ve been lost to time.

McGregor, known to voice his opinions with reckless abandon, discounted Bisping’s legacy within the sport to downplay one of the GOAT contenders on his list: GSP.

Some much-needed context on Michael Bisping and Conor McGregor

McGregor, spoke about Bisping as the one-eyed fighter. He referenced ‘The Count’s’ eventual loss of vision that ultimately made him retire. Bisping, who has been forthcoming with his injuries, shared his entire journey of losing his eye to the fight game on his podcast ‘Believe you me’

Bisping is quick to point out that Anderson Silva (who ranks #1 on McGregor’s GOAT list) suffered a loss to him before he clinched the middleweight strap.
