Michael Bisping reacts to Conor McGregor announcing his UFC return at middleweight

Conor McGregor's recent fight announcement got the whole MMA community talking. While many were surprised to know that he is eyeing a fight in the middleweight division, former UFC champion Michael Bisping does not seem to be shocked.

Speaking to his co-host Anthony Smith on a recent episode of his Believe You Me podcast, Bisping spoke about how the weight gain might not be beneficial to McGregor on his return to the cage and said:

“No wonder it’s 185 because Conor McGregor’s arm—I only saw his arm—but it looked a little flabby gabby. I thought so. It looks thick, I’m not hating, but he looks a little soft there. He’s definitely bigger. Brendan Loughnane… he said he’s doing a little training with him out in Dubai, he said, ‘Yeah, he’s big. He’s at least 200 pounds.”
