Retired UFC star Michael Bisping has backed a fight between Conor McGregor Jorge Masvidal for the BMF belt.

McGregor and Masvidal have struggled to display the best versions of themselves in the octagon and are both without a win in over two years. Former two-weight champion McGregor lost consecutive fights to bitter rival Dustin Poirier last year whilst Masvidal recently suffered his third consecutive loss when he was outpointed by Colby Covington at UFC 272.

Masvidal has been called to defend his 'BMF' title since winning it against Nate Diaz, but UFC boss Dana White has played down the possibility of McGregor competing for it by stating 'Gamebred' is "too big" for the Irishman. And Bisping explained why McGregor's best fighting days are behind him whilst discussing a potential match-up between the two UFC stars.

"McGregor vs Masvidal, it kind of makes sense right now doesn't it," he told Mirror Fighting. "Masvidal's lost three in a row, McGregor is kind of similar. His best days are behind him that's the way it goes, fighting is tough as you don't always remain on top.

"McGregor had an unbelievable rise, he was a two-weight division champion. He set the world on fire and made massive amounts of money. When you reach that position there's only one way to go down and that's down.
