Furthermore, the Brit pointed out that the combination of the fight favors the former champion's style.
“Does McGregor deserve a title shot? No, he doesn't deserve it. But he's the biggest star in the sport and that's something that sometimes counts. I wouldn't be angry if he achieved that. Charles would like that too. It would be a great fight and a sales success. I've said it before, Charles takes hits. Of all the fights, this is the one that favors Conor the most, simply because Charles receives blows. Everyone knows I'm not kissing b***h McGregor. I’m far from being McGregor’s biggest fan,” said Bisping.
