Michael Bisping sides with Dana White on the belief that Conor McGregor is no longer “the man” in the UFC.<\/p>\n
White recently told The Boston Globe<\/em> that McGregor has lost the distinction of being called “the man” to UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. “The Eagle” submitted McGregor back in Oct. 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cKhabib is the man now,\u201d Dana White stated. \u201cConor isn\u2019t the man anymore, so Khabib gets to sit back and call the shots.\u201d<\/p>\n On the latest edition of his Believe You Me podcast<\/em><\/a>, Bisping agreed with the UFC boss.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HP0XsrkVTjc<\/p>\n “Dana went out there, and listen he said, ‘Conor’s not the man anymore. Khabib is the man, so I guess he gets to call the shots,’ Michael Bisping said. “That’s not a lie, he’s the champ. If you’re the champ, you’re the man. If you’re the only undefeated champ in the UFC, that also gives you a little more extra ‘the man.’ If you’ve also got a ridiculously large following and you’re the biggest Muslim athlete out there, then also yeah that makes you the man. But it turns out Conor took exception to that. [He] wasn’t very happy and immediately went right back at Dana.”<\/p>\n McGregor did indeed fire back<\/a> at White in a Twitter post.<\/p>\n Who\u2019s not the man? Your man had that marquee event did he? More like an event in a marquee. A tent in the fucking sand it was. Keep spoofing to your self horse.
