UFC commentator and Hall of Famer Michael Bisping has weighed in on Conor McGregor’s most recent incident. Bisping, who has no great love for the Irishman, challenged McGregor to pick on someone his own size, and give up his “bullying” ways. He went into detail on his YouTube channel.
“It can’t continue like this. One day he’s going to f*cking pick on the wrong person and by the way, the old guy at the bar, Machine Gun Kelly, Francesco Facchinetti, right, these aren’t tough guys, are they? I’m not trying to sound tough myself, but he’s not starting with me.
Bisping Blasts “Bully” McGregor
The guys he’s starting with aren’t 6-foot-5, covered in tattoos on steroids, are they? No, Francesco Facchinetti looks like he couldn’t punch his way out of a wet paper bag. Machine Gun Kelly looks like the biggest bloody wimp you’ve ever seen in your life, and the old guy at the bar’s an old guy at the bar.
If he’s truly this much of a bad ass, go out there and f*cking pick on someone not your own size, cause someone your own size isn’t very hard, is it? Pick on someone that can fight.
You’re a professional fighter. You’re supposed to be looking for challenges, but what he’s essentially turned into right now is a bully. No one likes a bully.”
Michael Bisping has no shortage of contempt for McGregor’s antics, but he has been clear in the past that he respects Conor’s accomplishments in the Octagon. However, Conor’s recent record in mixed martial arts and his increasingly erratic and violent behavior outside the ring aren’t helping.
“At some point, Conor’s got to get his sh*t together. Cause this is going to end badly one day. You need people around you that are going to tell you no. You need people around you that are going to hold you accountable. You need people that are going to say ‘Conor, what the f*ck man?’
Seems like a long time ago he was the double-champ of the world. I was a fan of that guy. I’m not a fan of this guy. I don’t think anyone’s a fan of this guy. I think soon he’s going to run out of steam to train. He’s going to run out of steam. It can’t continue like this.”

Yeah. I think Conor is Bi-polar. I hope when he gets back into the octagon that whoever HE chooses that, that person will put his gloves through McGregors mouth.
Nothing classy, decent, respectful about Conor McGregor at all.
