Six weeks away from UFC 303, the 35-year-old was visibly partying quite sozzled to the brim. As his June 29 battle vs. Michael Chandler looms, it’s quite rudimentary that he should reel it in. However, ‘Mystic Mac’ says he can do it all.
He has fought the undefeated Floyd Mayweather in a crossover boxing stint. Many newly minted titleholders have tried to follow his blueprint ever since. He even recently debuted in the remake of Road House opposite Jake Gyllenhaal. Even the first South African middleweight champion, Dricus Du Plessis, lauds McGregor’s conquests and transcendence of the scope of MMA. It remains to be seen if the Irishman can bank on his standing stature when he returns.

All alarm bells have rung just over a month away from his first participation since the 2021 trilogy loss. However, Michael Bisping does not caution any worry.
It’s like a little reset, And this is going to seem really cra*zy…because, obviously…any sport scientist or something like that is going to say ‘what is Bisping talking about?’…But when you’re cut from a certain type of cloth, it doesn’t matter. He’s still going to show up, he’s still going to fight his a** off. Okay, he’s never had the best cardio because in the first couple of rounds he’s explosive as hell…
Michael Bisping via the “Believe You Me” Podcast (@bispingpodcast)
Speaking on their “Believe You Me” Podcast, the ‘Count’ told co-host Anthony Smith that he even brazenly took a “reset” during his battle with Dan Henderson at UFC 100. He promotes extravagant and careless resets as pivotal in making McGregor what he is. Concurrently, the Irishman was never famous for extended cardio in even five-round affairs. Hence, Bisping reckons despite such behavior, McGregor will come in top-top shape as the striking phenom he is for UFC 303.
