Former UFC Fighter and commentator Michael Bisping recently appeared on True Geordie’s The Pain Game. The British fighter discussed several topics during the show, including who he thinks is the Greatest of All Time/GOAT.

Bisping admitted that he doesn’t think that Khabib Nurmagomedov can really be considered in that conversation.

‘Yeah, he took himself out of it. And if you look, yeah, he didn’t fight the best until the end of his career. When you compare that with GSP or (Jon) Jones or Anderson (Silva), their run against world-class competition was far longer.

“But for Khabib, I know it was because of his father passing away, and he made a promise to his mother. So, it’s different circumstances.’
