"I did not see evidence of a broken nose" - Michael Bisping believes Italian DJ Francesco Facchinetti may not have busted his nose in altercation with Conor McGregor
Michael Bisping doesn't condone Conor McGregor's recent attack on Francesco Facchinetti. However, 'The Count' finds it hard to believe that McGregor broke the Italian DJ's nose with the alleged punch.
According to Bisping, pictures of Facchinetti after the alleged incident indicate that he was punched, but the DJ's nose did not look broken.
"That does look like herpes but it does look like his teeth has hit his gum. That's why you wear a gum shield. He's got a little boo-boo... and he's saying he had a broken nose. I'm not sticking up for Conor McGregor, I'm not here to do that. That's not who I am, simple as that but I don't see a broken nose. If you got a broken nose, you got busted eyes, you look like f***ing Mike Perry after the Vicente Luque fight. I did not see evidence of a broken nose. I did see potential evidence of someone that's been punched though."
