Former middleweight champion and UFC commentator Michael Bisping has brandished Conor McGrgeor as ‘lonely’ after a recent Twitter outburst was directed at him by the Irish star.  McGrgeor is currently away from the UFC after sustaining an injury in his loss to Dustin Poirier, which he has been rehabbing from for the better part of 12 months now ahead of a potential return to the octagon later this year or in early 2023.

Over the past few weeks, the Irishman has been on set ahead of his Hollywood debut when he’ll share the screen with Jake Gyllenhaal in a remake of  ‘Road House’. McGregor has not been shy of telling the world of his acting exploits, whilst recently calling out former rival Nate Diaz, who had also spoken of getting into acting himself.

And now, Michael Bisping has been the target for criticism from McGregor, with the former stating that McGregor should have bodyguards around him when they see each other.

In a now deleted voice clip posted on Twitter, McGregor said to Bisping: “Do you want to go to war, man, yeah? Do you want to go to f***ing war? I’ll go to war with you, yeah. Security you little sausage of a thing, I’ll have security set you up, where do you stay when you’re in Vegas again, pal? Little Apex f**** pad. Keep my name out of your f***ing mouth in any type of threatening behaviour, or I’ll walk through your front door.”

In response, Bisping told his podcast listeners: “The level of fame that he reached is astronomical and it’s very, very rare. You’re talking about big-time A-listers. There’s a lot of people at that level, but to achieve it is f***ing very rare. I do find, as I know a few people like that, they do get lonely. They can’t go anywhere, they can’t trust people, so I don’t know if that’s the case with him or whatever. He doesn’t have a community, he’s still got tons of fans, you can’t deny that.”

When he became aware of McGregor’s initial tweets, Bisping said: “I was just befuddled. I’m like, ‘Where’s this coming from? What’s that all about?’ God bless him, I’m actually on set in Bulgaria and we stopped for a little break and I looked at my phone and someone had shown me that on DM.

“I wasn’t annoyed or anything, just scratching my head going, ‘Where’s that coming from out of the blue?’ Look, God bless him, he’s doing his first acting thing, it’s a big deal and he’s all pumped about it… He’s all excited, he’s had his first beer and he’s doing a big show with Jake Gyllenhaal, god bless him. Good for f***ing you. Well done. Why have you got to throw s*** my way? I don’t get it.”

Bisping has been retired since 2018 after a legendary career in which he defeated Anderson Silva, Dan Henderson and Luke Rockhold, the latter to win the middlweight championship in 2016.
