Michael Bisping on Conor McGregor's injury

Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping recently posted a video on his official YouTube channel where he analyzed Conor McGregor's injury. He disclosed that veteran UFC referee John McCarthy had provided him insights into McGregor's condition.

According to Bisping, John McCarthy indicated that McGregor had aggravated a previously injured leg, which he had broken during his trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.

Conor McGregor had to withdraw from his headline bout against Michael Chandler at the UFC 303 pay-per-view due to an injury sustained during his training camp. Mystic Mac was set to make his UFC comeback after an absence of nearly three and a half years from the octagon.

Conor McGregor's withdrawal from UFC 303 left the promotion in a difficult position. Dana White revealed that UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira would step in to replace McGregor against Michael Chandler, defending his title for the second time.

Pereira is slated to defend his UFC light heavyweight championship in a rematch against former champion Jiří Procházka in the main event of UFC 303.

Alex Pereira and Jiří Procházka clashed for the Vaccat championship last year at UFC 295 pay-per-view. Pereira delivered devastating strikes, securing victory via technical knockout.

Fans are applauding Pereira for consistently stepping up when the promotion faces adversity and needs a replacement. Recently, he successfully defended his championship against former UFC light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill at UFC 300, stunning the world with a first-round knockout.

The upcoming rematch between Alex Pereira and Jiří Procházka promises to be an enthralling showdown. Both fighters are known for their fearless aggression and willingness to risk it all. Expect the rematch to be even more intense than their previous encounter.
