"Two words spring to mind right now, douche bag" - Michael Bisping shreds Conor McGregor for bold antics at Joshua vs. Dubois event
UFC commentator and former middleweight champion Michael Bisping does not seem too impressed with Irish superstar Conor McGregor's antics at the Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois fight, which went down on on Sept. 21. McGregor entered the arena with a cigar in his mouth and was later seen reacting in an extremely animated manner during the heavyweight clash between 'AJ' and Dubois.
Bisping was not pleased with McGregor's actions. Speaking with Anthony Smith on a recent episode of the Believe You Me podcast, 'The Count' slammed McGregor for his antics. He said:
"Conor, you would've thought he was a big Daniel Dubois fan because when Joshua was getting those [punches], he was out of his seat, maybe the cigar might have even got lit. Walking in with a big cigar unlit within the teeth, how do we feel about that? Because two words spring to mind right now - douche bag... This is the problem when nobody tells you anything. When nobody says, 'Bro, you look like a c**k. At least light the cigar, at least have a go."

Michael Bisping speaks on Conor McGregor's return
MMA fans have been eagerly waiting for Conor McGregor's return to the octagon. Michael Bisping recently discussed the Irishman's comeback with Anthony Smith as well.
Bisping stated that he was not too interested in discussing McGregor's return to the octagon until an official announcement regarding the same gets made. He said:
"We can't keep having the same discussion every five minutes... I think he will fight but until the time comes, I'm not gonna be jumping up and down and going, 'He's back!' everytime he tweets." [1:21:55]
McGregor's last fight came in July 2021. He went up against Dustin Poirier in their trilogy bout at UFC 264. The night did not go well for 'The Notorious' as he suffered a horrific leg injury in the first round and subsequently, lost the fight via TKO.
