Meanwhile, Conor McGregor appears to have gained some extra pounds and can move up to welterweight on his return. He has also teased shifting to middleweight at some point. That said, several lightweight fighters like Michael Chandler, Charles Oliveira, and Renato Moicano have called out’ Notorious’.
However, former UFC champion Michael Bisping wants to see Jorge Masvidal clash against Conor McGregor in 20223. In a recent video, Bisping outlined the bouts he wants to see happen in 2023 and justified why McGregor vs Masvidal makes sense.
He said, ” There’s a lot of people out there who want to fight Conor McGregor. I mean, there’s Michael Chandler, there’s Tony Ferguson and both of them would be great fights, but the one that I want to see is against Jorge ‘Gamebred’ Masvidal.”
“You are crazy Bisping, he [Masvidal] doesn’t deserve that. That’s a reward. The man assaulted Colby Covington. The man has lost his last few fights at welterweights against wrestlers against Kamaru Usman, against Colby Covington.”
“I want to see him [Conor McGregor] against someone that’s going to pawn an exciting fight. I don’t want to see someone trying to wrestle him and I am not saying Conor [McGregor] couldn’t beat those type of guys.”

A potential fight between Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal brewed up in 2019 after ‘Gamebred’ secured back-to-back wins over Darren Till, Ben Askren, and Nate Diaz. However, Masvidal went on a losing spree next with Conor McGregor winning only one fight since January 2020.

Conor McGregor is the first UFC double champion who is now lacking in winning fights since facing Floyd Mayweather in a boxing crossover. After losing to Mayweather in 2017, the UFC star earned the biggest payday of his career, over 100 million USD. It changed his fortune, but McGregor’s combat dominance disappeared. He lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov upon returning to the UFC in 2018. Following a long layoff, McGregor returned and knocked out Donald Cerrone in 2020. However, he has lost to Dustin Poirier twice in 2021 and is yet to announce his next move.
