Conor McGregor questioned amid continued UFC layoff: ‘He can’t buy a title and money can’t buy you respect’

In the wake of his continued, drawn-out hiatus from combat sports, Conor McGregor’s status in mixed martial arts has most certainly taken some form of a hit, according to former middleweight champion, Michael Bisping, who reminds the Dubliner that all the money in the world can not buy him another UFC lightweight crown.

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the UFC, has been sidelined since he took main event status at UFC 264 back in July 2021, on that occasion suffering a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss Dustin Poirier after he fractured his left tibia and fibula in the opening round.
