Bisping feels that 'The Korean Zombie' will definitely bring the fight to 'The Great' but won't be able to get his hand raised at the end of the fight. 'The Count' pointed out that Volkanovski has two wins over Max Holloway, widely regarded as one of the greatest featherweights in UFC history.

If he can beat a world-class striker like Holloway twice, Bisping feels Volkanovski will emerge victorious against Jung. During BT Sport's UFC 273 Preview Show, Bisping said:

"I've got Volkanovski. There's a reason that man beat Max Holloway twice. Max Holloway is special and he did beat Max Holloway twice regardless of what people want to say, regardless of what the Max Holloway fanboys want to say. I think Chan Sung's going to show up, he's going to have a good fight, he's going to make it entertaining, he's going to make it exciting [but] I'm not sure how it's going to happen but I do believe Volkanovski and still...Will be the featherweight champion."
