Michael Bisping doesn’t rank Conor McGregor too highly among the featherweight greats. There was nothing quite like McGregor’s run at 145 pounds, in which he tore through the division and claimed the UFC featherweight title with a historic 13-second knockout of Jose Aldo  to end the Brazilian’s nine-year unbeaten streak. However, after capturing the lightweight title to reach dual-champion status, McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) never defended either belt – which Bisping thinks puts an asterisk on his place in the UFC’s greatest featherweights of all time. Instead, he thinks Alexander Volkanovski’s upcoming trilogy fight against Max Holloway could determine the best UFC featherweight in history. “If Volkanovski pulls it off, he will then be, without a shadow of a doubt, the greatest featherweight that the UFC has ever seen,” Bisping said on his YouTube channel.
