Talk of a fight between the duo, 32 and 28 respectively, has been brewing ever since Alvarez claimed the lightweight title at UFC Fight Night 90.

Immediately after his title triumph, which saw him dethrone then-champion Rafael dos Anjos, 'The Underground King'made it clear that he wants his next bout to be against his featherweight counterpart - who he claimed would be an 'easy fight.'

Alvarez, 28-4, upped the ante a few weeks later by claiming that he wanted to 'viciously' take out McGregor, who has made it clear that he wants to add the 155-pound title to his collection.

McGregor's head coach, John Kavanagh, is keen to see his most famous pupil do battle with Alvarez and believes the trash-talking Irishman would defeat the former Bellator star inside two rounds.

Bisping, however, disagrees with that notion and reckons Alvarez would 'kill' 'The Notorious'.

"I think looking at that last fight, he does not want to fight Eddie Alvarez at 155," he told Daily Star Sport.

"I think Alvarez kills him man. He’ll just take him down and destroy him.

"I like Conor. Conor is incredible, he’s done amazing things for this sport. He’s brought so many eyes on to it, he’s making so much money and he’s exciting as hell. He brings excitement."
