Bisping on Conor McGregor, Strickland, and ‘Borz’

So perhaps it was all yet another piece of a mind game from McGregor to troll Chandler who looked like he took the bait immediately getting into camp. Either way, surprises around his return could still await us. Meanwhile, Michael Bisping thinks a card with Chimaev and Strickland on the co-main could very much happen.

“. . . Just round the corner from there is International Fight Week right?” said Bisping on Believe You Me Podcast. “And we don’t know if Conor is gonna fight on that or not but if he does,  Khamzat, Sean Strickland co-main event for international fight week. I mean that is, that would be my. . . if I was Mick Maynard and Dana White, Sean Shelby that’s what I’d be thinking right now 100%,” he added.

What does Dana White have under his sleeve?

Dana White is still yet to announce the main event for UFC 300. He wants this to be the biggest pay-per-view of the year 2024 so far. And for that, and only that reason, he’s kept the main event a secret. And yet, fans can already see the rest of the card and be amazed. Meanwhile, Bisping speculated interesting fights.
